ABSTRACT:
A manual, impact-type log splitter comprises a tubular housing having a ram slidably mounted in the lower end thereof, with a wedge or the like for splitting wood attached to the lower end of the ram. A rod-shaped weight is closely received and anchored in the upper end of the housing, and extends outwardly therefrom a predetermined distance of sufficient length to be firmly grasped by two hands. The lower end of the weight forms an impact surface against which the upper end of the ram abuts during operation, and the upper end of the weight forms a shouldered handle. Preferably, a resiliently compressible boot or sleeve is provided over the upper end of the weight and at least a portion of the upper end of the housing to provide a handle cover for secure, comfortable grasping and more efficient operation of the log splitter.
