Little manual splitter

[LANNY]

manual splitter

I split all my wood by hand, with a Fiskars, or a maul and wedge. It gets rough sometimes, but the budget won't allow a splitter yet. Stopped at a pawn shop (den of theives) and bought a 10 ton manual spliiter for 40.00. Tried it today on a couple of big pecan rounds that I have whacked 100 times and still not split. It is slow, but faster than multiple whacks and split the rounds with very little effort. Plus, it appears to have a big enough beam for conversion to an engine driven splitter...anybody else used one, or thoughts on a conversion?...thanks, Lanny

Do you have pics? Sounds like an interesting tool.

Sorry to be so late replying, I had given up on this thread. Thanks for the reply. It's already gone, as a guy at work just had to have it! Made 100.00 on it so I bit the bullet and bought a real splitter. But if you want to see one sears has them, just search manual splitter on sears site. ..Lanny

Yep , it worked well, but the next day I found a splitter at home depot half off . They said it didn't work. Kinked suction line, had it fixed in five minutes. Feel kinda bad gettin rid of the manual though. I normally don't sell tools, but my buddy went ape over it. I even brought some rounds to work and we all played with the thing, impressive and cheap....Lanny
