I received the "Volcano" brand. The box was badly dented and open enough that I could just reach out and pull it out. Bubble wrapped head. Still thinking about going back. For $45, I could also go to the docks for a fire ax or hammer. I changed it from 2 stars to 4 stars after using it on a very dry 20 inch long log and a thick 8 inch or 10 inch wide log. The wood must be dry before you can split it with a sledgehammer. It wasn't a full baseball swing. Push a little harder and drop the sledgehammer, swing it, swing it gently. The blade broke off. I brought him in and took a file and a Lan washer to get him to take out the chip. I'll hang it up by two nails and keep it with me.
