The included drill bit worked great. I drilled around 30 holes and the bit still wanted more.The feathers and wedges worked great - bands as well. Follow the instructions. Hole placement about 6" apart. Wedges in properly alignment - moderate "taps" - not pounding with sledgehammer - and damn! - the rock split. The rocks was moderately dense New England granite. A local granite shop sell a single feather and wedge (same size) for about $6-$8. This was a great deal with included drill bit.

Most rocks I can just smash them enough and they break. This one was so solid no pun intended it was like hitting solid rock. Including drilling time it took me 15 min to split this rock and evert wedge is still perfect . I was skeptical to be honest but I'm 100% sold lol

Used it to break concrete along a straight line. Works well, however, I only received 9 and a half pieces in the shipment. That is the reason for only 4 stars.

I wanted to split a some thicker rocks to be thinner to be able to use as cap rocks for a rough wall. This tool can be used for this purpose. You will get the best splitting with harder rocks than with softer rock. You need to drill the holes deep enough to coerce the rock to crack in the way you may want. In my case I used a Milwaukee 12" long x 5/8" dia concrete bit and was mostly successful in cracking a number of single rocks to get two flat rocks out of each original rock (each split rock being about half the original rock thickness). The image shows a very nice split. Clever tool...

I bought these to split some large stones but first used them to bust some concrete post footings. I drilled some 1/2†holes in a line and inserted a couple of the wedges. After 3-4 taps with a 2 lb hammer the footings began to crack. Much easier and cheaper than renting a jack hammer!

They work very well. But your description is missing the information on the O-ring. After some use they break with the rough treatment, and that’s expected. However, you don’t list the size or number of the O-ring. You should also sell them separately for just this reason. I’m having a hard time finding replacements. This is why the lower rating.

Used to break up very large boulders that previous homeowners had buried in the front yard to fill in voids. Drilled several holes into them with an SDS and then drove the wedges in. We thrashed on these things with sledges, hammers, and the back end of splitting mauls and they took the beating and still look almost new. Highly recommended.

with a 3/4 drill bit, 20 of these, and a hammer i have broken about 20 large boulders in my yard. they are durable and work well, and the price is good too. they are a little pricey, but they are made of good steel and well worth it, and i don't see them breaking any time soon. put a little grease on them, where the surfaces touch, and there is basically zero wear.

They work, just not as easy as all the YT videos make it out to be, but I got the job done. make sure you're working area is somewhat clean, because the wedges and rubber band that holds them can go flying when they fall, and can be quite hard to find again at times.

I spent the last 3 days breaking up South Australian moss rocks with these. They are super strong and very heavy. The feather and shims worked excellent. Attached photo shows the amount of rocks about 1/2 way through the job. The feather and shims have absolutely zero damage after the job was complete. Don't listen to the negative reviews, I have no doubt it was user error and they had never used hand tools in their life.

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.

Product works great, my only complaint is that the rubbers are somewhat fragile and it should come with extras.
