That's a nice splitter, but that IS easy to split wood too...

A 20" sweet gum would blow that thing to pieces. Or a decent size oak log. You could split the wood he is demoing with a hatchet.

There are lots of splitters made with all kinds of varying wedge designs for multi-split wood. All the way up to wood processors. Just depends on what you want to spend

So to answer you question....they DO make splitters like that. Maybe not exactly, but they accomplish the same thing.

You just don't see many of them because most average people are fine with a $1500 splitter to split 5-7 cord s year. They aren't splitting 20 cord a day.

Interesting design. Cobbled together with his standard log splitter. Good for easy stuff; some of that looked like pine.

MAJOR kudos for ingenuity! I like it! Of course, just have to keep knotty wood out of it.

There are commercially made splitters with that wedge design. (A "box wedge", if I recall correctly.) IT appears he just mimicked their wedge design.
