I stuck one of my spurs into my ankle and hit the bone[emoji15]
I saw another climber bury a 2 3/4" spur in his calf

The most dangerous tool on the planet will be trump if he gets elected.

I think a homemade splitter had to guide the logs, he said he told her don't put the fingers over the end.
His fault actually she prob had no idea . Your not supposed to pick the logs up at the ends either you grab the middle.
Obama is the worlds most dangerous tool.
Period.
Period.
Oh going political eh?
That is one of the things I like about my splitter, the cradle automatically centers the log for you, and you just "uncenter" if you want (like to do a 3 piece split).
It is fast enough to not slow you down, but not an inertia splitter that will remove you fingers before you know it.
I'll continue to split by hand up at my cabin where most of the wood is Ash and splits easily (no worth hauling the splitter up there), but when I was splitting all that stringy Black Birch down here, I was real glad to have it. Also, I no longer throw forks off to the side, the splitter goes right through them.

The most dangerous tool I own is my 32ft rubber extension ladder!!
That's precisely why I love my wee Tanaka pole-pruner sooooo much. And, you can do so much cutting without moving your feet. Lets me easily do stuff that otherwise likely would send me to the ER or carpenter.
Late edit: Besides the 10" OEM bar (3/8" LP NK) that happens to fit std A041 mount, 14" 3/8" LP bar works just fine, in shagbark even. Just keep it SHARP and let it do its job. That's saved a few literal headaches, and likely will save more.

It's called a Circular saw. Not as dangerous.
