screw type log spliter

   / screw type log spliter #61  
Well. As luck would have it when I expressed a preference for the screw splitter here about four months ago I had no idea how soon my wish will come true. Sometime in Late December I bought one of the Burk Busters that just happened to have gone up for sale about 20 miles from my house. After reading and thinking I gave it a good try. IT WORKS FANTASTIC!!! I agree with all the warnings and stuff but it is just another tool that one has to be careful around and then it saves a lot of time and energy. Just like a chainsaw or tablesaw or you name it. I'd like to have a self-powered hydraulic splitter but those cost many times the amount I spent and essentially do the same thing.

does anyone know where I can find one of these, like the setup like the hydrocut or the hycrack?

thanks for that, does anyone know who makes one similar to these, preferably for sale in the US?

If it was made with a dead mans foot switch of some sort I would not be as leery of it, some type of electric clutch that would kick it out instantly, (not that one would not get hurt possibly but most likely not dead or disabled,

I saw that same Craig's List ad myself.

I can't say I'm that big a fan of the screw style log splitter to begin with, but with this splitter moonlighting as a finger amputating/appendage mauling rattle-trap, you couldn't pay me enough to use it.

Someone was WAY braver than me to use that thing.

They may look dangerous, but so does an axe hanging on the wall. :D

I would say this! the danger factor with this device is up there on danger scale ! However so was gunpowder , axes, chainsaws, etc. I wouldn't just jule it out but I think safety features need to be built to lessen mishaps .rolling over tractors through ignorance has killed more thN this device but you don't say don't drive a tractor ,4 wheelers kill thousands! You get my point. Everything must be used with extreme caution! Some people shouldn't own a car or triuck! Be careless in one of those and your just as dead.
