Log splitter

[Benny]

Wasnt sure where to put this but thought that it might be of interest to some members. First time ive saw a log splitter like this they loog relativly simple. heres the website

looks more dangerous than the hyraulic driven type. how many people get caught in P.T.Os without a design like than. thats just my opinion, but then again if ur dumb enough to grap on to it

You have to watch your fingers using them.

I dont know to much bout log splitters. looks like there isnt much to them and mabye easier to make than the ones with a ram.

 

[oilcooled :)]

size wouldnt matter either cause there is no need to cut the logs to a certain length to clear the ram which is better isnt it??

I suppose they could fit a retractable spring loaded guard, and maybe a deadman's ahndle?

I like the Grey Fergie though!

Strange interpretation of the word "safer" there Scarecrow

The 'conical-screw' splitters are clearly more unforgiving of inattention and fatigue than the ram types; just imagine an overall`s sleeve or loose-fitting glove being caught by that helix....

....not for me thanks!

Having 'lost' a finger (subsequently re-attached) in a piece of farm machinery, I know how frighteningly easily and quickly `bad-things happen.

I know but I could listen to the big log splitter all day long this is probably one of the safest and easiest method of splitting logs well it made laugh
