4.0 out of 5 stars Delivers what it promises, November 17, 2007

This review is from: Anaconda 878 Slide-Hammer Manual Log Splitter (Lawn & Patio)

Without using a power tool, the anaconda is the easiest way we have found to split wood.
We have Oak in 20 inch chunks from 5 to 18 inches wide. The wood was cut one year ago.
The Anaconda made splitting the wood fairly easy. It also split fine when we had logs which were cut at an angle - something we could not do with a wedge and sledge.
The unit seems well-built and is designed so that the tapered end of the splitter can be locked from extending by inserting a screw (included).
I have seen one other type of splitter, but only the Anaconda had the rubber handle and the stops to keep the tapered end from coming out of the splitter.

3.0 out of 5 stars Interesting idea!, October 11, 2007

This item is of course not nearly as easy as a powered log splitter, but certainly safer than wielding an axe. It is somewhat easier, too, because you just let gravity and the weight of the slide hammer do the work for you. I tried splitting some unseasoned maple that was about 12" in diameter. This is probably the most difficult kind of wood a homeowner like me would ever need to split, and it did require about a dozen "hits" to get it to split. If I let it dry out and try again next fall, it should be easier. So for occasional wood splitting needs, it is pretty decent. Not great, but not bad either!

This works quite well for chopping either pine or hardwood. It takes more strokes than an axe, but I am far more comfortable with my safety with this one. It is heavy, but easy to use once you set it on the log.
