Wood Wedge VK 1200 1.2kg Hultafors

Description

The Hultafors wood wedge VK 1200 is the ultimate tool when the splitting axe is not enough against thick, gnarled or knotty tree trunks. By driving the wedge into the log, you can easily split even the hardest wood with controlled force. The wedge is made of high-quality steel and is deliberately unhardened. This is a crucial safety feature that minimizes the risk of dangerous steel chips and splinters when you hit it with the hardened neck of the sledgehammer or a classic steel sledgehammer. With its well-balanced weight of 1.2 kg and well-thought-out geometry, the VK 1200 is an indispensable accessory for wood handling and forestry work.

Key Benefits

• Gentle and safe: Unhardened steel prevents splintering when struck with hardened tools.
• Effective splitting force: Narrow profile that penetrates deeply and cracks thick timber.
• Perfect complement: Excellent accessory for sledgehammers and wood splitting equipment.

Areas of application

• Hultafors Vedkil VK 1200 is especially adapted for manual wood handling and forestry work where a regular splitting axe is not enough:
• Splitting thick and extra-thick logs: When the diameter of the tree trunk is too large to be split directly with an axe.
• Handling of gnarled and knotty wood: Wood species or parts of the trunk with strong branch attachments and twisted fibers that require continuous splitting force.
• Loosening jammed axes: If a splitting axe is wedged in a difficult-to-split log, the wood wedge can be knocked down next to it to widen the crack and release the axe head safely.
• Final splitting in the field and on the woodpile: Perfect complement to a sledgehammer or sledgehammer when preparing firewood and stove wood directly on the chopping block or out in forest terrain.
