The Gedore Ochsenkopf Twisted Aluminium Splitting Wedge Oval is a forged safety splitting wedge, DBGM, made of high-quality aluminum. The wedge is twisted by 30° for extremely effective splitting. The oval form provides optimum use and a greater striking face. Impacts and damages of the outer striking face are minimized. Acute angled grooves on the front, additional saw-tooth on the back and barbed hooks on both sides prevent slipping out and spring-back, even in frozen wood. Guide ribs allow a straight drive in. Extremely rugged. Note: Only suitable for splitting, not a felling wedge!
