ABSTRACT:
The invention is a tool which is used for splitting sections of wood into smaller pieces. In this invention a handle is secured to a wedge-shaped metal piece having a ridge on one side, and to this piece a second driving metal piece is fastened in such a manner that it is allowed to travel slightly on a shaft extending from the first wedge-shaped metal piece, and as its center of gravity is off-centered from the center line of the wedge-shaped piece it causes a twisting or prying motion to be applied to the wood being split. Between the two metal pieces a rubber washer is secured, to temporarily absorb the energy produced by the downward force of the driving metal piece, and then to immediately release said energy into the wedge-shaped piece of metal.
