10 Packs of Heavy Duty Wedge and Feather Shims, 5/8 Inch Plug Shim and Wedge Concrete Rock Stone Splitter Hand Tools

Had 80 pieces of 12 inch thic,10 inch wide, 1100mm long granite curd stones to cut. To make garden boarders. As disc cutting would have taken days, covered my hoses and garden in cutting dust and watery slop and also cost way to much. This time tested way was invaluable, each slab needed around nine 14mm holes about 75mm deep. Clean out hole very important. Then set up with the wedge and feathers, several hammer sticks each in turn and hay presto. I've now got 135 meters of 6 X 5 inch granite edged boraders to my garden. Thought I'd break or bend at least 1 but there hardly even worn in. Did use 6 drill bits though but even at £4 each well worth the purchase.

I bought this after seeing how to do it on YouTube. I had to split a sizeable granite rock in the garden that was in the way. With a row of holes drilled at approximately 100 mm distance and the depth of the feathers, it did not take more than four or five relatively gentle taps with a small sledge hammer before the crack appeared and the stone split. I am very impressed with the method and also with the product that did exactly what I hoped for.

We needed to dig a trench to bury conduit for a low voltage solar panel to maintain the charge on a deep cycle battery for our Ghost Gate opener. There were several half exposed large rocks probably 1' thick and 2' - 3' in diameter blocking the path as well as an unknown number/size hidden just beneath the surface. When the wedges arrived I looked at their size and thought - no way. However, using a Milwaukee M-18 rotary hammer, a Diablo 5/8" four pointed bit and these little rock wedges the rocks didn't stand a chance. Easily split rocks and removed chunks sufficient for the installation.

I was very impressed with the overall look and feel of the shims.. Though haven't yet tested the relative merits of the steal.

Was hesitant to try breaking up large boulders in my yard but after mowing around them for 25 years I tried these to split off above ground sections of very solid granite. Works very well. I removed Several tons of material . Highly recommend this tool.

I used these wedges and they are ok. They are sturdy. I am new to cutting stone. I also bought wedge and feathers from another source in three pieces without being banded together. With some practice I found the ones not banded together are easier to work with. I still gave these 4 stars because they are sturdy and do the job.

The rubber keeper band on them is a bit weak but they get the job done just fine!
