Product Description

Wedges and shims are a very effective way to split stone, whether you need a precise cut, or are simply reducing the size of a boulder to make it more manageable. Place no more than 6" apart in the stone - closer for hard to split or precision work. Make sure the "ears" are facing in the direction you want your stone to split. Strike firmly but without force up and down your wedges and shims. Wait a few minutes and do it again. It is pressure, not force, that will split your stone. To remove drill holes, follow with Trow & Holden Mason's Chipper. Always wear safety glasses.

6" WEDGES AND SHIMS Review

The wedges are a fair bit shorter than the ones that I have used in the past but I don't think that that will make much difference in performance, however, the combined taper of the shims is not equal to the taper of the wedge. This results in all of the splitting force being delivered at the top of the drilled hole and not equally along the entire length of the shims. There is 1/4" difference in overall cross section from top to bottom. I would think that the force should be equally applied. They way it is now some of the splitting force could be lost to crumbling of the stone at the rim of the drilled hole.
