And who would that be?

AL! You need this in your life.

Does Al have a stump in the middle of his living room?
(That's cheating...he's cutting the same stick over and over again)

Looks like it saves fingers!

I need a splitter like that! Any ideas where to get one?

I had never seen one of those but it is first up on a web search. Interesting device

It does have good reviews, tho I have learned over the last few years that a certain % of those online reviews at Amazon are word for word what you find elsewhere for another completely different product...both negative and positive reviews.

Thanks Mike

That does look cool! It would save the carpet!


@greybeard
A stump in the livingroom would be brilliant! But I think spouse would be against it.

Last night I didn't get home until after 5pm.. and then the plow was being wonky again. Turns out the connection (the cable) is a bit corroded so having trouble getting the buttons to "talk" to the plow.

The area I plow is so twisty and long... and so much junk in the parking lots (mine included ) I am forever having to adjust the angle of the wings... and of course up and down is critical.

I managed to do a quick pass through everything.... took me right at 3 hours. Looked like 2 people had run off the drive into the ditch (and gotten pulled back out), and one truck parked down at the pond. One friend had driven up to the church with his plow truck, his plow truck busted, he got his truck towed out, but he dropped his plow. That plow is at the base of that driveway I hate. Sheesh. Did a super quick pass over that driveway... but I didn't hit the plow... or the house.

But then I backed over the church flower garden. Sheesh! Shouldn't be too bad though.

Dang.

I felt bad.


I want to plow in daylight.... so start at 10:30. Gives me a nice 4 hours of good light to plow.

It snowed again last night.

But Spouse took over today's plowing.

i'm sure glad your son is ok @Alaskan. worked in surgery for a few years and one of the cases i'll never forget was a guy chopping firewood wearing flip flops. lets ask ourselves why on Gods green earth would you do that but the ax split his foot between his big and 2nd toes about halfway up his foot. took an orthopod several hours to put him back together again. I think you should get him one of those splitter for his birthday. it would save you and him both a lot of grief.
