Have you ever seen this type of splitter?

Lumberjack 20 TON DUAL ACTION LOG SPLITTER - Mills Fleet Farm

Maybe I haven't been paying attention but I just saw it this fall. Sure seems like a good idea. 2 sided wedge on ram so it splits in both directions so you're not wasting the return cycle with not splitting.

Lots of manufacturers make them. I've never used one but sure looks like a time saver.

I have one from northern tool it looks like the same design. Mine has been okay so far.
