Mighty Hand Kindling  Splitter

There are many reasons to own the MIGHTY HAND Kindling splitter. Perhaps the  best reason is its convenience. The Mighty Hand makes kindling quickly and with  less mess than cutting kindling by hand with an axe or hatchet. Likewise, it  does not require that you to keep a heavy open blade like that in your family  room, where the fireplace is. With Mighty Hand, the blade is kept enclosed in  its cast iron frame. Just keep a hammer nearby and a good supply of firewood,  and you'll have all the kindling you could need to start a fire in minutes.

When You Don't Really Want an Axe Around

There are lots of great ways to use the Mighty Hand. Above we reference the  family fireplace, because we think that's where most fires get made. But the  Mighty Hand is also ideal for RVs, day trips, car trips---any event where you  plan to make a fire. In addition to the many ways, there are many reasons to use  it. The Mighty Hand is useful for anyone wishing to have a little more stability  in making kindling around the backyard. For example: breaking up that  well-seasoned but heavy chunked BBQ-pit roasting mesquite or hickory that you  picked up at a roadside stand and just haven't gotten around to using yet  because the pieces are too big for the pit and too small for use with an axe.

Like Before, Only With Less Blade-Swinging

Using the Mighty Hand to split kindling could not be easier. The action is just  like using an axe or hatchet, except, instead of swinging a heavy blade toward  something in your hand, you are swinging a hammer. The Mighty Hand is 13 lb. of  cast iron, so it remains stable for cutting kindling. It is ideal for cutting  already split firewood into kindling, and the Mighty Hand readily handles small  logs up to 8" in diameter. For an even stronger, more stable splitting  operation, use the four half-inch bolt holes in the base of the Mighty Hand to  secure it to an appropriate surface.

You Never Know When Company's Coming Need a little kindling? Or do you need a lot? The Mighty Hand  Kindling Splitter is the tool for the job. Its sturdy cast-iron  frame holds up to generations of slips and dings that happen  when you swing a hammer at it.	Simple Design The Mighty Hand has no moving parts, making it a simple solution  to a simple problem. Is it as simple as a hatchet? Almost. It's  like a hatchet in a cage that protects your fingers from the  blade. You just hammer the wood into it and boom, kindling!	Kindling Madness? Will the Mighty Hand turn a demure suburban homeowner into a  raging wannabe lumberjack who wears skinny jeans when he should  be wearing gloves? We hope not . . . because gloves are  important when making kindling.

TIPS AND TRICKS

1. Sharpen the Blades

For  safety reasons, your Mighty Hand Kindling Splitter XL ships with a slightly  dull blade. We recommend that you sharpen your blade before you use it, and  periodically as needed. If the blade is dull, it won't go through the wood  as easily as it should.

To  sharpen the blade, use a steel or a buffing wheel to sharpen the blades. If  you use the steel, just gently run it up and down the blade. With a buffing  wheel, rest the blade against the wheel while it turns. If your blade isn't  that dull, you only need to use the polishing side of the buffing wheel.

2. Don't Cut Wet Wood

Whether your blades are sharp or dull, you shouldn't use them to cut wet  wood. Wood that is newly cut is spongy won’t break easily. We recommend that  you only split wood that has been aged for a season or more.

3. Clean the Log Splitter Regularly

Clean  your log splitter on a regular basis. Dust and scrub the unit as needed, and  dry it afterwards to ensure that it doesn’t rust.
