    Employee tax wright offs.

    At a minimum, you could start with keeping track of your mileage travelled each day. You cannot deduct commuting miles from your home to the office but other miles may be allowed if recorded correctly.

    Scrounging - Something old, something new

    I own a little roll-off dumpster business so what better way to haul home the rounds than to roll a container off on the shoulder of the road and then use a handcart to roll the rounds into the box? That's nothing new, I've been doing it for ten years but we didn't have that when we were kids...

    Is this a good buy? Trailer load un-split

    I figure that it's the 7' x 18' model, for what difference that makes. http://www.beckstrailerstore.com/default.asp?page=xInventoryDetail&id=1525885&p=6&vc=dump&s=Year&d=D&fr=xAllInventory

    Introducing the new Log Splitter Line from DHT (Dirty Hand Tools)

    Oh, no way. That is one of the beauties of the tilt, we bust a bunch of them in half, maybe thirds, on the vertical position and then switch to horizontal.

    Introducing the new Log Splitter Line from DHT (Dirty Hand Tools)

    There is only one thing better than seeing a stack of free rounds and that is seeing the $800.00 DHT splitter ready to work them up. I can't compare it to $5,000.00 splitters, I can only compare it to every other splitter that I've ever owned. The DHT just does what is asked of it without...

    Scrounging Firewood (and other stuff)

    So, a friend overheard me talking about my new Dirty Hand Tools Splitter and said that he had some wood that needed split. Okay.... I'm not so anxious to lend out the only new splitter that I have ever owned but that wasn't what he wanted anyway. Could we split the wood while he was at work and...

    The old "tree is too close to the house" trick.

    So a friend lets me know that he had a couple of trees dropped and the wood is free for the taking. Would I be interested? Yes, and whatever you do, don't mention it to anyone else I say. :)

    Dirty Hand Tools 22 Ton on sale at Lowes this weekend

    I like the lay out of the accessories on your website. For us older folk, a plain white background behind the text would maybe make life easier. Your accessory prices seem almost too low to be worth fooling with (on your end). Maybe keep the 4way and catcher prices low but it will take customer...

    Dirty Hand Tools 22 Ton on sale at Lowes this weekend

    DHT said that it should be built into Lowes site within the next week or so. I would imagine that it's more important to us than it is to a behemoth like Lowes.

    Dirty Hand Tools 22 Ton on sale at Lowes this weekend

    We split the stuff that was leftover from the smaller splitter last year. If the only thing that you split is the huge uglies, maybe a bigger one would be better. But it's going to be slower and this unit split every single piece we were ble to manhandle under its wedge.

    Dirty Hand Tools 22 Ton on sale at Lowes this weekend

    The Lowes special did just that. You decide if the log catcher is important to you or not. I have a feeling that having to pay freight on a log splitter would negate any "direct from DHT discounts" that would have been offered. Plus, the brand will be much stronger when they support Lowes. I...

    "It splits faster than we want to work" True that. Handle options..... has anyone considered a handle mod to accommodate a 6'6" operator? Ideas for same?

    There is a small placard on the tongue that lists the Manufacturers toll-free number. Give them a call.

    Dirty Hand Tools 22 Ton on sale at Lowes this weekend

    We have a couple of hours fabbing up a log catch table and then split for a couple of hours afterwards. I don't think that I've ever had a better time splitting wood when it's 88 degrees out. The new 22ton DHT is getting it done. Impressive unit. Thanks for the lowes heads up.

    Dirty Hand Tools 22 Ton on sale at Lowes this weekend

    There were six DHT 22's spread between five Lowes stores in my area. Now there is one less. My first ever not used, not homemade, not craigslist, but brand new store bought log splitter. Thanks for the heads up. I'm going to go fuel it up right now.

    Craigslist laughs

    Mighty Mac and the way back machine I saw the ad an hour after it was posted at ten am. No phone number in ad. Smart man at that price. I sent an email stating that I would take it, giving my name and location. No word heard all day long. I figured that it was gone. He called about 6:00 pm...
