An improved log splitter for home use incorporating a load-responsive clamping mechanism of the type that utilizes a stack of locking plates (36) surrounding a cylindrical member (4, 6) to which the plates (36) are to be clamped by a tilting action. The plates are provented from chewing up the surface of the cylindrical member by a pair of shoes (46, 50) positioned on opposite sides of the cylindrical member (4, 6) and within the openings in the locking plates. One of the shoes (46) is smooth and adapted to move longitudinally on the cylindrical member (4, 6) during the application of clamping force and the other is rough and remains stationary during the clamping action.
