Shingle Froe Tool and Kindling Axe for Splitting Firewood,15in Premium Forged Blade Shingle Froe with 18in Wooden Handle, Kindling Axe, Wood Froe Tool

I don't write that many reviews so this is an exception. I like this solution better than the $70 splitters where you set the wood in a cast iron cage. They seem nice but I am just trying to split firewood into kindling from time to time (hardwoods). A froe offers control and precision, and is a lot less expensive. I found using a deadblow rubber mallet to work better than a wooden mallet. I can go old school and use an ax but this is much easier.

It maybe could’ve been a little sharper haven’t use it yet to know whether or not it’s gonna be good enough quality for what I wanted it to do but it looks all right to me

I’ve used a few froes in my time. I like this one a lot. It’s solid and feels well made. I also like that it has a hole for a screw to keep the head in place. Previous froes I’ve used have had loose heads and the screw in this one fixes that. It’s taken a beating from me as I often use it on oak.

Havnt used it yet but seams solid the blade was thicker than what I thought it would be but im sure it will help considering how much hardwood I have to split this week.

Very weak. I bent it the first time I tried to use it. Also the socket isn't not tapered the handel is. I didn't want to put a screw in it so a could take it apart to carry. This is traditional. The handel kept bouncing out because of the taper. Save the money and buy a good hand forged one from etsy. Trying to load a pic but it won't let me.

The blad works well enough. The handle is a very hard wood handle. The connection given for them is a small screw that struggles to cut into the wood even with a predrilled hole for it. The parts are fine, you just have to figure out a means to connect them well for yourself.

Very pleased

Works well. But you need to sharpen it and assemble it. It seems the taper on the ferrule is the reverse of what it should be, as a froe is pushed along to split green wood. For seasoned wood, you will need a 4 lb hammer to drive it home on things like oak. I got it to prep firewood for wood fired pizza oven.
