Today I went to the forest to cut thick trees and columns. Beech diameter 55cm +. Have only 25 cm sliced and then disassembled. The Maul is a stunner, but sometimes it bounces off of pieces of twig as if it were rubber.
Ha, cut, set riving knife, threshed with nylon tip of the split hammer on the top of the wedge and nylon ........ full coverage! The wedge titscht through the area with its 2 x Kg as if it were a shrapnel of a tank shell. The whole 3 times (and in the precise meeting of the wedge). Since the narrow and set early in the Torrsions rotation point of the wedge is obviously intended only for natural narrow gaps or with the ax created column. Or the thing works properly only with coniferous / softwood ?!
Now searching for a smaller incision and draufgehauen perk. Result pretty weak. Yes it splits. But if I lancing a tough trunk with a chainsaw and then vigorously it kloppe with the X39, I reach much more.
The background of the rather weak performance is mE in the vibration damping nylon essays. The take away so much power that the work difficult and is not relieved.
And since we are in the defective saw from the title. Tool that does not work useless.
That's nothing - certainly not for the money.
