10-Piece Rock Splitting Wedge & Shims Kit – 5/8" Heavy Duty For Stone, Concrete, Granite

About This Product

Need to split big rocks, slabs of concrete, or thick stone for a landscaping project? This 10-piece wedge and shim kit is the traditional, powerful way to do it without heavy machinery. Here’s how it works: you drill a line of holes in the stone (you'll need a hammer drill for that). Then, you put a pair of the 'feather' shims (the side pieces) into each hole, flat sides together. Finally, you drive the center wedge down between them with a hammer. As you tap each wedge in the line, the immense outward pressure slowly and controllably cracks the stone along the line of holes. The set includes what you need: central wedges and side shims, with a 5/8-inch (16mm) diameter, perfect for standard-sized holes. They're made from hardened, heat-treated steel so they can take the pounding and won't bend or break easily. This method is fantastic for splitting granite, marble, sandstone, limestone, and even thick concrete. It's much more precise than just whacking it with a sledgehammer. A word of caution: always wear safety glasses! When the stone finally gives way, small chips can fly. Also, be patient and tap evenly – don't just whale on one wedge. This kit is a favorite among stonemasons, landscapers, and DIYers tackling hardscaping projects. It's simple, incredibly effective, and gives you a clean split.
