If you are doing a lot or physically impaired, I suggest using a powered hydraulic splitter
Log Splitter by British Red, on Flickr
BB bought one for me after advice on this forum...I find it very handy. I can split faster with a maul and bigger stuff with sledge and wedge. What I can't do is split as much - as I can go all day with a hydraulic splitter.
They aren't cheap (say £150 and up) - but the splitter shown here is £80 and I guarantee to powered one will be useable by far more impaired people
There is a manual version if power is a concern or not available
