How does it work?

Lasts For Decades
The Kindling Cracker™ is made with recycled Australian cast-iron, and forged in one complete mould.
What this means is it will last for decades, and will not break from overuse, or being dropped.
It does not need maintenance and to cover all bases, we offer a 5-year warranty and a no fuss 90 day return policy.
Handles All Firewood
The Kindling Cracker™ can handle all types of commercially sold firewood, including your own home-sourced wood.
All wood can be hitched onto the blade without the need for holding it in place with your hands. Here's a few examples:
Pine, Oak, Kiln Dried, Hardwood, Softwood, Ash, Birch, Hazel, Maple, and more...
16.5cm Diameter
Fits most commercially sold firewood, meaning less worry about if it fits and more about simply making firewood.

No Maintenance Needed
Even after years of use, the Kindling Cracker™ will retain its function. Some owners like to look after their tools though, and we fully support that.
To keep it maintained, you can file the inside blade with just a few strokes.
Leaving it out in the rain can also affect the paint, so keep it covered if left outside. However, a simple repaint will have it looking brand new, just like when you first bought it.
Safety First
If you're worried about injuring yourself, The Kindling Cracker™ was made for you.
The ring at the top makes it so you can't hit the blade, and the forced position and angle you have to take to hit the wood, means no bruised forearms.
The way it's built means the wood can only land downward, so as long as you stand back, you'll always be safe no matter how hard you strike.
It's also made in one mould, no welding. This means no broken parts and no accidents.
