Feeling the Heat
That's actually a very good point. I hardly ever use mine anymore thanks to changes in my equipment and technique. My Fiskars can handle rounds that my old maul just bounced off of, and I learned to nibble away at the edge of larger rounds that don't split easily down the center. I sometimes use a wedge on a gnarly round but, now that I have a surplus of wood, it's easier to just pass on a difficult round and move on to the next.There should really be no reason that your are needing splitting wedges on a regular basis unless you are feeding super long splits into an outdoor boiler.
