[QUOTE="ryno, post: 790241, member: 17856"] There is a lot of talk about the weight of the splitter going on here. Remember 8 th grade sience class F=MA. If i swing the 5#'er twice as fast a a 10#'er they apply the same force. I use a 5# splitting axe. It has a pretty agressive flare on it. When splitting smaller stuff it will send pieces flying apart (i have a dent in my truck that was at least 20 feet away). I also have a 10# that i haven't used in a few years after finding how well the lighter one works. I find with the 5# axe i am more accurate and i don't get tired as fast. That just me. A friend of mine that is part gorilla (6'5" and 300lbs) likes to us a 12# maul. When we split wood together we get the same amount done. [/QUOTE]
