Draper Log Splitter - 2.7kg

The Draper log splitter is designed for a variety of wood types. It is most effective with seasoned hardwoods. For very hard or knotty wood, additional force or multiple strikes may be required.

No, the handle is not included and must be purchased separately.

The hardened steel head is designed for durability and should not need sharpening frequently. However, if the head becomes dull, use a file to carefully sharpen the splitting edge, taking care not to damage the steel.

Always wear safety glasses when using the log splitter. Make sure the area around the splitting block is clear of people and objects. Use sturdy footwear and gloves. Ensure the log is stable before striking.

Store the log splitter in a dry place to prevent rust and damage. Consider hanging it on a wall or keeping it in a tool shed or garage to protect it from the elements.

Inspect the head before each use. If the head chips or breaks, discontinue use immediately and consider replacing the splitter. Damage can make it unsafe.

Use a wedge and hammer to dislodge the splitter, or try striking the sides of the log to loosen it.

Ensure the log is properly positioned and that you are using sufficient force with your sledgehammer or splitting maul. Try rotating the log or using a different striking angle.
