Abstract
A log splitter having a manually adjustable wedge and a power driven base for supporting the log and forcing it upwardly into the splitting wedge. The wedge is supported by a carriage that is releasably secured to two standards by a pair of quick-release clamps, operable with one hand. The support includes a central projection extending toward and in alignment with the terminus of the wedge to minimize twisting moments generated by the splitting forces.
