Kindling Cracker Firewood Kindling Splitter

Product Information

Hours and mileage and other detail is as at the time of cataloguing not at the time of sale. Bidders must satisfy themselves in this regard. A. Absolutely. Your hands don’t go near the blade while you’re splitting, so there’s no danger of cutting yourself. You do need to hit the top of the log with a hammer or mallet, so just make sure to keep your fingers out of the way. Right out the box it requires minimal assembly which also lends itself to folding away too. Well designed on the space saving front it’s pretty compact too. I would say though, this is by far a heavier, more robust option so you can look at it two ways. Either heavy to lug about and setup or excellent structural bulled quality. Are you a glass half full or half empty type? 😀 Tell your friends and family about my idea so we can help prevent them from chopping their fingers off with an axe.

You simply lift the weight and sling it down. With both hands firmly on the weight. Personally I would wear gloves in case you slip or run your hand into the base as you throw the weight with an over follow through. Here’s a look at that with credit to Forest Master as this is a snap from their video that simplifies the process:f. Lots not forward will be charged at 75% commission based on the reserve price or Auctioneer’s estimate. The manual hydraulic log splitters are the cheapest of the bunch. They utilize hydraulics but you’re the original source of power. How they work is usually by two handles which extend upward from the cutting end. Simply place a log on the splitter, between the wedge and hydraulic extension arm. Pull the handles one at a time to push the arm towards the log. With enough time, the arm will extend far enough to split the log on the wedge. Electric This retrofit kindling attachment takes just seconds to install, as you slip it over the existing splitting head on your machine! This allows you to make four sections of soft wood kindle (Not Hardwoods) in one push of the ram (up to a maximum log size of 150mm.) You can split a decent length log too. Half a metre using it horizontally or vertically. The diameter is 30cm so plenty of scope to cut big logs if you need the power and in horizontal position you can split much wider than 30cm. I would say though, unless you do need all that power, I still prefer the Forest master smart manual log splitter on price, performance, and portability for smaller logs and this for larger.

For use with the Titan Pro log splitter (sold separately), this easy-to-use kindling maker is fitted to your log splitter in seconds, and will save you hours! I prefer the vertical position and despite advertising this as a 30cm diameter cut, it’ll smash that to pieces and take much more. I will say though, the height of the pedal isn’t ideal for anyone with bad knees. Naturally the machine attempts to take advantage of a big sweeping lunge for maximum pressure which makes sense, except you need to get your knee up high enough to do so. If you have grief with the knees as I do sometimes then turning it horizontal and working the ams is probably a fair option and solution. A shingle froe is an extremely handy tool that most people don’t know about. The fact is, they’re not used very much nowadays because their original intended purpose was to help make wooden shingles. That and nowadays we have power tools. The cutting edge faces the bottom of the tool. Simply place the cutting edge on a round of wood and use a rubber mallet to hammer the froe through the wood. It’s definitely a labor-intensive device but one that, in my opinion, is well worth the money. Splitting Maul, Axe, & Hatchet You’d think that kindling is a pretty simple product, yet there are a surprising number of ways to make it, including an axe, pole splitter, hinged splitter, and kindling splitter.If you’re choosing an axe, a length of between 30 and 45 centimetres should give you sufficient leverage and good balance without being too heavy. If you want a multi-purpose tool, a handle at the shorter end of that range is easier to carry around. You don’t need a large axe-head to split kindling. I’ll admit it, I’m not the best at explaining how things work so I’m adding a video to this section so you can get a better understanding. Anyway, these manual splitters are great for several reasons. One, you don’t have to swing a sharp edge so it’s relatively safe. Two, it doesn’t require gas or electric so you can use it wherever, whenever. And three, there are very few moving parts so the chances of having a slide-hammer log splitter break on you are slim. I wouldn’t try splitting more than a ten inch diameter either. I’d like to see the bar push a bit closer to the axe head. This would definitely help break down more stubborn knotty logs. Though with those constraints I will say it’ll handle just short of half a metre so if you cut or are supplied with long-ish logs with medium diameter then this is just the kit. Bidding opens 9am Wednesday 1st November 2023 and closes from 9am Wednesday 8th November. Lots in Sale 1 (1-2000) will finish concurrently at 20 second intervals and Sale 2 (2001-end) will finish concurrently at 30 second intervals (5 lots a minute total). If a bid is placed in the last five minutes of an item ending, the end time will be extended for a further five minutes. All bidding is to be through i-Bidder, ClarkeandSimpson.co.uk or BidSpotter only. All of those claims about not much force needed to use this wood splitter? Completely true. Compared to the others that I tested, particularly the manual ones designed for kindling, this one required the least amount of effort. The clever way in which the wedge is shaped enables a force-free process.
