Of course, you can use an axe – but particularly the Kindling Cracker is safer, more effective and fun to use. And you can also use it indoors very easily, without any fear of damaging something. You just place a piece of wood inside the ring, strike it a few times with a mallet and it’s split.

On the contrary, the Smart-Splitter uses a sliding weight which you raise upward and then thrust down – and when you get used to it, the process becomes pretty fast actually. The only disadvantage is that it requires a large log as a base.
