I found this on YouTube. Interesting idea! 100 lb. Homemade Splitting Maul:
Oh please tell me more about this fiskars!Not sure exactly that guy was thinking? What are you actually saving with that welded mass of wasted metals?
you are bent over picking up rounds or moving them EVERY shot. then you have to push up on a spring loaded weight to "reload" the shot.
Crap that makes a Fiskers look like a nuclear reactor technology wise.. give me a $30 sledge any day over that thing...at least SOME times you don't have to bend over to pick up a round to move it.

Hmm - maybe that thing would be good for splitting the huge rounds into manageable pieces to put on the splitter.
I don't think this this splitter would work well for huge rounds. The swinging weight is a hammer, forcing the rounds against a fixed wedge. A heavy round has a large inertia. A large percentage of the weights energy would be wasted just getting the log to start moving. I think this splitter might work better on large rounds if the wedge was on the swinging hammer, and the log remained stationary against a foot plate.

Agreed. There is a lot of labor and materials that went into building something that doesn't make much sense.Dumb.
