    I took this cheap splitting wedge and welded a pipe to it and then wrapped it with pipe insulation and duct tape. I use a small 4 lb sledge to drive it. I use this mainly for making kindling but I have split rounds with it before.

    Getting older and got tired of bending over to pick up the wedge.
