In theory this is an awesome ideal. The design is horrible. Very hard to get to go in and than when it gets stuck you can not back it out. The reason you can’t back out is because it has treads, so when you put drill in reverse it just detaches from the bit. Worthless for splitting wood. Made them into a plumbob. Had to use axe to remove them.

They didn’t work well for splitting wood. My husband had to buy a more powerful drill and it still didn’t help much. Ended up renting a splitter anyway.

The bits didn’t split wood as easy as the ad made it look, if at all. Maybe I need a new drill, not sure. I would say buy with caution.

Works on smaller logs ok, but has problems with vary hard wood and larger logs. Logs should be relatively short as well

I just got this and was excited to use it. I have loads of firewood and my little ole John Deere log splitter is desperate need of attention. However I figured this would work in the meantime. I was wrong. I used it on my Milwaukee 1/2 impact and all it would do was spin out, and trust me it got in there. I tried all the angles as shown, on both sizes, to get it to split wood and nothing. I tried it on live oak and pecan. No luck, I tried it on dry seasoned wood and green fresh cut wood, nothing. I ended up getting it stuck in piece of live oak and had to weld a 17mm socked on the end of it to get it out. I wouldn’t feel right returnging it like that so I guess I’m out of money smh. Might work for post oak or something solf that you could just split with an ax.

The four different components that thread into the splitting cones are likely going to need a little anti-seize on the threads. I used my 1/4 drive impact which worked well but it hammered on the threads a bit and made getting them undone a bit of a challenge. The wood split easily, even around some knots, and was fairly predictable in where it would go. As others have mentioned, trying toward an edge is best and then work around the log until you get what you need. The lack of instructions or best practices didn't slow me down but it would have been nice to have some guidance. This was my first experience using one of these and I'm sold. Perfect for the camping rig and grabbing when it's your turn to make the fire. I like it.

These do work, but there is a learning curve of what to do and not to do.These screw cone splitters do work to make kindling but you have to experiment a little of what to do and not to do. They do not come with any paper manual, but like many items it seems the listing here is the manual.The set comes with two splitting cones a larger and smaller one, and a selection of interface shanks. There are two square shanks for use with hammer drills and two hex shanks, one for a drill and one that can be used with an impact driver.I found that for me the impact driver works the best. Once the cone had gone far enough into the wood to bite, the impact driver is much easier to control. The drill, if the cone caught, the torque would try to rip the drill out of my hand. I was splitting very dry oak so probably worse case.You need to be near the end of the piece you are trying to split and only split a smaller side piece, and don't try to split a large chunk in half. Also splitting a softer wood like pine works much better for turning it into kindling.Good way to split for kindling. Recommended.
