An impact block splitter and a method of splitting casted concrete blocks is described. The impact block splitter is comprised of a cylindrical housing with a splitting blade secured to a lower end of the cylindrical housing. The splitting blade has an impact receiving rear end projecting inside the cylindrical housing. An impact element is displaceably mounted behind the impact receiving rear end of the spitting blade inside the housing. The cylindrical housing is displaceable axially to a downward position wherein the splitting blade is positioned on a surface of a block to be split. A pneumatic control system actuates the impact element to project it in a downward motion against the impact receiving rear end of the splitting blade to impart a blow thereto and to also cause the impact element to be retracted in an upward motion.
