[EPS]

I want one

 

[Joe13]

Never seen that.


I don't like change.


My axe seems to do the job just fine.


I'd be interested to see what it would do with knotted green wood.

 

[jbett98]

I wonder if they make a left handed model.

 

[uscsoldier]

I tried one for several weeks last summer, never worked as advertised for my group

 

[EPS]

Lol I only want one too say I have one I have no need to chop that much wood lol

 

[EPS]

Kinda like the I phone I don't need a 900 Dollar phone but everyone else has one lol just kidding I have a HTC PHONE

My question is how does the handle rotate in your hand and not cause more fatigue from straightening it out after each swing? Nope, pass.

LOL y'all workin too hard.

use a hydraulic wood splitter.





seriously tho, i prefer splittin rounds with 2 8lb mauls if i have to manually split wood. if the woods not very dry i use one maul to pound the other maul in.

Looks like it works great on straight grain dry wood, but I can't imagine it would be good for anything else.

It'll last about one strike into some bull-pine. It'll get way stuck and you'll smash the back end with a big 'ol sledge and crumple the eye with one whack.

Lets give him a 1/2 cord of Mt Ash to split? Great firewood. How's about some cherry? See if that changes that video. Some of the maple I get every year is so tight the 8# maul I use takes several everything-I-have swings to split.

It weighs 4# at $269.00!! Scam alert!

If your hotting dry wood like that then even with a plain old axe you can rotate your wrists a hair as it hits the log and it will split pretty close to what that demo video showed.


Honestly, I think reinventing the wedge/axe is like reinventing the wheel. How much can you really improve something that's been used for hundreds of years without issue?

i'm not sold on trying that kind of axe with all the live oak i split, if it was 40 or 50 bucks i might buy one to try it but over 250 for one, crazy.

 

[Oregonhunter5]

Better make sure that round is completely flat. I will take my 37 ton splitter all day long.

 

[Mikej]

I wonder if that chick is so tough she goes shooting with out eyes and ears? Motor cycles without a helmet. Takes out black berries with no gloves?
Gives me the creeps watching that. Oh, and more of that special wood picked out just for vids like this.

Yea. Word that was dried for 10 years.

I wonder if she is single. To me, she is rather attractive.
And she can work.
Probably the same reason i married my wife. Naturally beautiful and can work hard.

Probably. Everyone knows that a gal needs some face piercings and tattoos to lands a mang, man.
