Log Splitter

[stevec]

My splitter has a 5/8" thick wedge without any wider "wings". The 2 speed pump moves the wood fast enough that I appreciate the relax time I get out of a full stroke. If my wood popped in two with, say, a 1/3 stroke I wouldn't be able to keep up with it.
I also find that often times although the wood is split apart there strings or threads of wood still holding the pieces together, the full stroke takes care of that.
