Rock Splitting Wedges, Heavy Stone Wedges, Iron Chisel and Rock Separation Tools. These Wedge and Feathers Tools Would Work on Our Massive Limestone and Granite(4Pcs)

Had a large Iron Ore rock that I needed to split into several pieces.These wedges easily handled what is a very hard type of rock.'Drilling the 1" holes necessary was the hard part'. But once in place the wedges made quick work of the rock and the wedges literally look brand new.

I have a granite boulder, 6’ in diameter, probably 10k+ lbs. Put 15 of the standard wedges in it, just made a surface crack. Couldn’t break it. Got these monsters, just used 4 of them to widen the existing crack and used a 5’ pry bar. This did the trick, the beast has broken. Definitely recommend these, more expensive than the standard feather/wedges, but way better for breaking the massive monster boulders.

10-yrs ago I borrowed 10" wedges made from angle iron 1.5* lengths at the top & 3/8" at the tip. With these 4ft rocks having 1" holes by 10" Deep spaced 4" apart, spitting was ease and wedges wereeasy to recover. The design of wedges being evaluated here have many functional problems. Because of the rounded radius of feathers. Pressure is created at top of hole and chips out rock layers at the entry of the hole using a 6-lb hammer. Continued hammering the wedges gets them stuck. To recover these struck wedge takes 15-30-minutes each. (bore holes near each stuck wedge) & other wedges to loosen the stuck wedge get it removed. The previous wedges I used has ~6 degree entry angle and has 3-contact points. It did not cause rock chip layers as it moves down into hole!The rounded edge of these wedge-feather is very poor design. Not very functional and wastes alot of time.

I've used smaller wedges (1/2") in the past and felt like I was pushing their limits. By comparison, these bigger wedges split granite for me without a struggle. With a big enough rotary hammer to make drilling the 1" bores go quickly, I had the pictured rock quartered in less than 15 minutes.

These are only good for rocks that are about 16 inches thick and soft. I have been trying to use them with a granite rock and despite doing everything possible to crack this rock these things keep snapping or breaking the retaining band. I have been using a total of eight and now I am down to about 5 due to component failure and metal breaking. If I had this to do all over again I would have bought smaller feathers in greater quantity.

The wedges are being used to split marble 6 frying length and 14 inches thick along prescribed score lines. They preformed excellently.

What a great purchase!! I could move this rock with my Skidsteer…until I split the rock in 15 minutes with these rock splitting wedges!!!

The media could not be loaded. We hoped that these wedge and feathers tools would work on our massive limestone. They worked great.
