[Greenbuilding] [BULK] Re: Splitting wood

[Lawrence Lile]

I always wondered if you could weld a wedge onto a handyman jack and
split wood with it?  I think they are rated at 4000 LB, would that be
enough?  Or would they not have enough leverage?

If you have a KMS Tools store nearby, they have a sturdy  hand-powered 
hydraulic one for around $150 or so. A little bit more effort is 
required, but you don't need a handy current bush to run them. If memory

serves me well, they require about 3-4 strokes to split a chunk of wood.

Okay, the closest on to you is PoCo, it seems, and the splitter isn't in

their on-line catalog. (I looked yesterday )

I assume this type of splitter is available from other suppliers.

Cheers,

Chris Green.
