"Makes a fiddly job so easy"

Stocked by:

The 3-Step Process

1. Place a piece of firewood inside the ring.

2. Give it a few taps so it sits on the blade unsupported.

3. Take your hand away, then hit the log with your hammer until...

Voilà! You've split your log safely and precisely.

Ditch the axe. You don't need it anymore.

● Less than half the force and precision needed when using an axe.

● Designed to last decades. Even generations with regular maintenance.

● Can split all kinds of commercially sold firewood, including natural wood.

WHAT OUR CUSTOMERS THINK

"MAKES SPLITTING FIREWOOD A BREEZE"

Introducing Ayla

The Young Inventor

Ayla Hutchinson was only 13 years old when she invented the Kindling Cracker™. Ayla's mother injured her finger while splitting wood with an axe. Ayla became determined to find a safer alternative.

FAQ's

The main difference is size. The King model is almost twice the size of the Original and allows you to split taller and wider firewood.

If you buy already split firewood and want to make kindling, go for the Kindling Cracker™ Original.

If you have medium to large firewood, the Kindling Cracker™ King will get the job done.

You can split wood with a diameter of up to 16cm with the Kindling Cracker™ Original.

With the King model you can split wood up to 22.5cm. 

No. The unique wedge design of the Kindling Cracker™ means the blade does not need to be razor sharp to work.

It is easy to sharpen the blade, and some owners decide to do that. If you're an owner who likes to keep their tools fresh, this is how you maintain it:

1. Lay your Kindling Cracker flat and give it a few strokes with a metal file.

2. Keep it covered during rainfall, or keep it inside.

3. If left in the rain by accident, only the paint will be affected. Simply repaint, and it'll be back to normal before you know it.

And that's it. Easy.

Yes. The patent was filed in 2013 and granted in 2022. The patent covers 38 European countries including the UK.

The scope of the patent is extensive. The key elements are the upward facing blade (and even multiple blades) beneath a safety ring/guard in all shapes and sizes.

Any imitation featuring these elements is an illegal copy.

The validated patents serve to protect Ayla's remarkable invention. 

There are also granted patents in the USA, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, China, and Japan.

Yes. Any variety of wood that you can split with an axe can be safely split with a Kindling Cracker. Oak, birch, and ash, are no problem at all.

With harder woods, a few extra whacks will be needed.
