Manual Log Splitter

ich hab noch nie son schrott gesehen

hook up the handles to a spring and a windmill. Then you just have to operate the release to return the ram and put the logs in.

hi could any1 who knows tell me, if this can split coconut tree log,they harder as rubber.thanx

you should get your own show

i like the ingenuity but i think the way he said it (at 2:01) this is for sissys

Yep, knotty wood and forks can be a problem, but I usually cut larger forks etc., in such a way with the chain saw when I’m breaking it down that the bad pieces rarely need further splitting. It takes a few seconds longer when you are initially cutting up the wood, but for me that is the best solution so far.

Thanks for your explanations.

well perhaps we have different ways of solving our problems. I cut Australian hardwood, and find that there are almost no pieces that cannot be split with a Block splitter or axe. When i talk of a block splitter i am talking about a special tool very much like a sledge hammer with a relatively blunt point. The one or two pieces per ton that i do find i merely nick the side with the chainsaw and give it a belt,.

What type of wood are to splitting that it is so hard to do by hand.

With all due respect, it seems very slow and cumbersome to me. In the time he took to make one split, I’m sure that I could have done five or six.

Awesome I’d rather make one though with an old carjack and some scrap metals welded together because I’m cheap.

where do you buy them

This just looks too slow.

There is a rhythm when using a maul, and if you do it right, right over head, there should be no stiffness or backpain. Go over the shoulder and pay the price !

Thanks for posting, I saw these at Harbor Freight.

i prefer an axe, i have a petrol driven splitter, i still use an axe for smaller blocks

lol with that straight grain shit hes cuttin i could cut atleast twice as fast with a maul guess it might be usefull for some really burly oak.
