I have a few rounds at home and I know I'll get more that I can't simply spilt with my axe or mega maul. I’d also like to save ripping them as a last resort. Since I have some gift cards for Christmas, I'm going to stop after work today and pick up a sledge hammer and a wedge or two. The sledge is a no brainer, I need one for more than just splitting wood anyway.
My question is about the wedges. I am planning on getting an Estwing wedge from Home Depot. It’s about $20 and looks solid. I’m pretty sure about getting that one. Do I need more than one wedge? I see where Lowe’s has some wedges from Truper for $10. One is a standard wedge and the other is a conical one. Are these wedges any good? For $10, I figure I might as well try them but if I am better off getting two Estwing wedges, I’ll go that route.
Let me know what everyone thinks.
