Their diamond cross-section and serrated edges help the wedge bite into wood and stabilize each strike, while the 4-direction design lets you quarter a log when used correctly. The package includes two identical 4 lb wedges and protective covers so you can keep them stored safely between uses.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow do these wedges speed up manual log splitting?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe wedges concentrate hammer force into a narrow wedge point to open wood fibers efficiently, reducing the number of strikes needed versus cutting alone.
