    Saw a similar version last year, man that's not a good idea. they must be burning in a big box. the splits are big and very inconsistent in length.

    Ya, there have been several versions of this type. They can have them all as I would have no use for them.

    What the heck ! That's just about the most useless piece of machinery I have ever seen ! Besides what if the axe head comes flying off that shield won't protect his head.

    I like the death screws that bolt onto your car axle....then you put the car in "drive" and have at the splitting fun...
    One slip-up with that medieval torture device and you're losing an arm or worse!! Look how close his sleeves get to that spinning nightmare!!

    My uncle got knocked out cold for 2 days by one of those death spikes. He had to have his shoulder popped back in and elbow joint set too. It looked like a car hit him. Well it kinda did :p

    But Dennis, they all work vertical, should be fine don't you think? Wow, I'm guessing the operators get nick named stumpy or stub pretty quickly. Glad I don't have to use something like that. A C

    Jeez I thought those were outlawed years ago.I remember seeing ads for them in Field & Stream,Mother Earth News & related outdoor/homesteading mags while still in high school back in the late '70s..... You couldn't get me near one of those damm things.And Dad thought I was nuts when asking him for a bow bar for his then-new Poulan 3400....:D

    Right where I want to be.
    Because you can, does not mean you should.
    You CAN fix stupid, but it usually ends up costing quite a bit.

    The first one at least seems effective, the second one with the axe head is ridiculous

    Neither of them would ever have me standing in front of them :D

    You think they would at least paint the blade white on the first one to make it a bit easier to see coming around.

    Wouldn't be something I'd want to use but, the one in the OP looks no more dangerous than the buzz saw we used when I was a kid.
