A wood splitter ( 1 ) comprises a splitting wedge ( 2 ), a guide bar ( 3 ) connected to it at the back ( 2 a) of the splitting wedge ( 2 ), and a drop weight ( 4 ) movable along the guide bar ( 3 ) and encircling the guide bar ( 3 ) in cross section. The guide bar ( 3 ) is provided with an external thread ( 3 a) at its end area facing the splitting wedge ( 2 ) and is screwed into a threaded bore ( 2 b) sunk into the wedge back ( 2 a). There is an intermediate plastic sleeve ( 5 ) between the drop weight ( 4 ) and the splitting wedge ( 2 ), with the longitudinal axis (L) of the guide bar ( 3 ) running perpendicularly to the opposing faces ( 5 b, 2 b) of the intermediate sleeve ( 5 ) and the back ( 2 a) of the wedge. These measures provide a wood splitter ( 1 ) with which the risk of damaging the junction between the splitting wedge ( 2 ) and the guide bar ( 3 ) is distinctly reduced, even with large drop weights ( 4 ) and corresponding impact forces.
