Can it be used easily by someone who's like 5' tall and weighs 100 lbs? (And has never split wood before?) Well, I wouldn't be splitting very big logs -- just some smaller ones. As for the "burly man" comment, yes, I'm pretty tireless. As a single mom living on heavily wooded 2-acre lot, I've been plowing, mowing, shoveling, sawing, cursing, you name it. I often times surprise (or scare) myself. You'd be amazed at what sheer will and determination (and Lord's help) will accomplish.

Has anyone purchased one?Do you like it? Pro's vs. Cons?

I need tto split a lot of concrete pavers and wall stone. Is it possible to use a heavy duty log splitter?
