Nah but I think there are 3 outcomes. Spinning the wood, getting stuck in the wood or stalling the drill. Doubt it would split..

There are similar cone shaped, sledge hammer wedges that should work but I guess your looking for an easier option?

 

[fixedfixer]

Maybe if you’re splitting match sticks. I’ve had the wedges stuck and had the 5 ton hydraulic say no on a number of occasions.

stick it in an old gut buster and you will go round with it

Pile of pish it stalls all my drills even the big boy sds had to use a splitter to retrieve it from a log.

The only chance you get with them cone screws are the big ones that work on hydraulics from a PTO or powerpack...

Ive tried a pto one…….didnt like it, finger splitting potential

They are ok if they are hanging off the end of a 13 excavator.

I have a PTO one for my Super Dexta. Very good - done tonnes and tonnes of wood with it. You need a riving knife under the cone, or the log will rotate, otherwise much simpler and quicker than the hydraulic type (you’re not always waiting for it to return).

I've seen larger ones mounted to car hubs on YouTube.
Effective, but not much margin for error! Full concentration needed, definitely no complacency!

Wonder if he'll get the dangly cords on his hat in there as well?

The pistol drill cone would be ok for splitting pallet wood into kindling.

We have a pto one as well, in decent wood its a lot quicker than the hyd one, the hyd one is best on big or knotted stuff.

saw this and thought the idea was good for anyone whos not happy waving their chopper about ,,, lot less likely you will cut your foot off with a hammer .

Thanks everyone. Pressure washer is now out! Its worked on a small section really well.

Longer term will look for a better stain I think but no idea whats good ans what is snake oil. I will look at the one you suggest Bullet.

i think ive seen you ask about many log splitters

Started the log splitter build

Black tools 18T splitter, it was cheaper when I got mine a couple of years ago, £1200 including the delivery. I tow it to the farm where we cut and split arb waste. wow that is a beast! a bit spendy for me for home use! the grand total of this build has been under £60

what happened to your build or are you looking for something more easier ?

Not sure you mean me Gaz - the quotes from my slippy decking thread!

My log splitter is a JCB ram in a homemade frame. Runs off the tractor.
