The Wedge Hammer JUCO 1.5 kg model 12300 for Splitting Wood is a compact, manual tool designed to deliver concentrated impact for splitting logs and preparing firewood. Constructed for balance and control, this hammer is intended for use where moderate splitting force is required. Its weight and shape allow focused strikes to drive wedges or directly split smaller logs and kindling in home, garden, and light forestry tasks.

Advantages

The hammer provides a consistent, well-balanced swing that helps reduce user fatigue during repetitive splitting tasks. Its 1.5 kg head weight offers enough momentum to split a variety of wood types while remaining manageable for most users. The compact dimensions make it easy to store and transport, and the robust construction ensures durability under typical manual use conditions.

Suitable for

• Preparing firewood and kindling for domestic use
• Light timber processing and small-scale splitting work
• Garden and backyard woodcutting tasks
• Assisting with felling and splitting operations where a compact hammer is preferred

Key specifications

• Head weight: 1.5 kg
• Tool type: wedge/splitting hammer for manual wood splitting
• Balance: designed for focused impact and control
• Usage environment: home, garden, small forestry operations
• Suitable materials: various common wood species, small to medium logs and kindling

How to use

Place the wedge or the hammer face against the log at a stable angle, keeping hands and body clear of the striking path. Use controlled swings to transfer momentum through the head into the wood; repeat strikes as needed until the log splits. For larger logs, use the hammer to drive a splitting wedge into pre-cut notches, rather than attempting to split in one hit. Maintain a secure stance and wear appropriate personal protective equipment such as gloves and eye protection.

Usage recommendations

Inspect the hammer regularly for signs of wear, such as head looseness or handle damage, and replace or repair components before continued use. Store the tool in a dry place to prevent corrosion. For safe and efficient splitting, match the hammer use with suitable wedges and avoid striking metal objects or hardened surfaces.
