seriously! we should get a cut of their sales all the free advertising us owners give them on here!!
We should get a cut? AKKAMAAN just needs to share his Fiskars commissions with us. :hmm3grin2orange:

They should call it the "ArboristSite-Length Handle", due to all the promo it has received on this website and all the begging for the additional length: if they are really making one, part of it has to be due to our pleading!

i dont like that at all. why should someone who worked harder to get a better job than me, and make more money than me, have to pay a larger fine for breaking the same law?
No, they're paying the same fine. The value of a certain number of days of their labor.
Many of our laws were written before annual inflation became part of our economic reality.
When in the 1920s our legislatures would set the punishment for some misdemeanor as "up to $200 or 30 days," that $200 was an average wage for a month in the 1920s, or 1890, or 1830. You had a lot fewer professionals, and even among farmers / laborers / mechanics, etc most folks had wages pretty similar. It was a reasonably fair system then, not now.
The Finnish system just updates this old jail-or-money model to maintain the fairness now that there are wider disparities in income and automatically adjusts with inflation so a school teacher, or mechanic, or lawyer all end up with an equal punishment in terms of the amount of labor they sacrifice in order to pay the fine.
I totally agree with you Dalmation90.....this is a way to punish everybody the same, no matter what income they have.....it is the monetary, modern way to "cut a hand or an arm".......If we had this system here, we wouldn't have so many celebrities driving drunk and speeding...for a few hundred buck of so called "punishment"...
Getting back on topic. How big of a piece of wood are you guys splitting with the Fiskars? How big around, how long and what kind of wood?Thanks, Sam

Thanks for all of your responses. I generally split with a wedge and sledge. I think I will get one. If I have to split a big round with a wedge once then use the Fiskar I would be time ahead.
One last question. How green is the wood you are splitting? I usually don't split when it is fresh cut in the summer or spring. I was just wanting to get and idea for how dry the wood is you are splitting with the Fiskars.
Thanks again,
Sam
