Northern tool 4-way splitter wedge

[fullbore]

Has anyone tried the $99.00 slip on 4- way wedges? NT lists it as only available for their own splitters. I'm would think it would fit most major brand splitters...

I've been thinking about welding up one for my Troybilt. I hear they require some good pushing power, especially in the nasty stuff.

i have a powertek splitter that has a 4-way wedge on it. not an aftermarket on but an option that i got with it. haven't split too much with it yet but it does seem to work well. some logs will have to be split again depending how big a log your stove will burn but it still saves time. the lower two split logs will always be a good size. its the upper splits that may have to be done depending on the size of the original log. mine had no problem going through well seasoned oak.

I would say that 4 way splitters should be used on 30 ton or larger splitters. There hard on the equipment, but nice.

Just don't try that 4 way on any Elm.

Thanks for the replies, I think I may just leave the splitter alone.
