Our take
The best thing about the Estwing E-5 Sure Split Wedge (5 lb) is a 5 lb steel wedge. No buyer reviews yet, so this Estwing splitting wedge has to win you over on paper. The catch with the Estwing: no word on the exact splitters it fits. We'd pick it if you still like splitting by hand; otherwise, put it next to the maXpeedingrods 4-Way Wedge for Swisher first.
One thing to settle before the Estwing E-5 Sure Split Wedge (5 lb) ships: check your model, because it is made for specific machines, and fit is model-specific.
Compare your splitter's model number with the listing before you order.
