I bought a hydraulic splitter, and it's about the best tool I ever
bought:

I reasoned that if I hurt now, aged 51, after a session with the
splitting maul, then I'll be crippling myself at 61, and incapable at
71. So over the period I reckon it's two hundred and something quid
well spent.

I've got one that is a little larger and works vertically. I think I
managed to keep going with an axe until midlde 60's but 5 years later
I really don't have the strength for doing the volume of logs needed.
