A manual log splitting device for splitting a log has a first assembly including a base plate for resting of the log during splitting thereof and a first uprig ht supported by and extending upwardly from the base plate. A second assembly having an upright sleeve, impact plate, and wedge assembly, is axially and slidably mounted on first upright by axial and sliding engagement of first upright with upright sleeve. A user splits log by applying a downwardly directed for ce on second assembly thereby causing second assembly to move towards base plate such that wedge assembly passes through log, thereby splitting log. Abutting engagement means, extending away from base plate, abuttingly engages upright sleeve and base plate when second assembly is in a resting position where wedge assembly is slightly spaced apart from base plate. Thus , movement of second assembly towards base plate beyond resting position, as well as contact therebetween, is prevented.
