Mechanical felling wedge, spreading wedge for cordless impact wrench

Felling without hammer blows – the mechanical spreading wedge for your cordless impact wrench

Felling wedge 50434 replaces sledgehammer and plastic wedges in light forestry work. The threaded spindle spreads the wedge in a controlled way and lifts the trunk with up to approx. 10 t of lifting force – largely vibration-free, powered by the cordless impact wrench or ratchet you already carry.

Your benefits

Up to approx. 10 t lifting force

At approx. 16° wedge angle the spreading wedge safely lifts even heavy trunks and opens the back cut in a controlled way.

No hammer blows, no vibration

No shocks to the trunk, no striking – easy on saw, trunk and back. Works in frozen or hard wood as well.

Uses the tools you already have

Driven by any cordless impact wrench with approx. 200–750 Nm (13 mm socket) or alternatively by a ratchet.

How the spreading wedge works

Three steps instead of hammer blows: the wedge is inserted flat into the horizontal back cut on the side opposite the notch and spread by turning the spindle.
