The steel man wood splitter on pasture with its 7 tons splitting power simple devices available at hardware stores significantly. And that at a 'hardware store price'! If I assume that the nip force was gemeseen under ideal conditions, you should assume that in the home garden always prevail the most unfavorable conditions. The wood is certainly not entirely free of knots, and sometimes it takes a while until it is cleaved and the time spent even drier and harder. I think the values of sugarcoated 'super4Tonnen splitting power' can not be achieved determine the household. I prefer therefore a tolerance of 25% from 3 tons remain in the simple splitter for my starkastiges wood, still remain at about 5 tons of steel man splitter ... So much for splitting power. The device is quite heavy, and not leave in spite wheels just so drag from here to there over the grass, let in the shed over the threshold. There was with me a guide for assembling the somewhat wobbly undercarriage, the wheels need to be solved with a special snap ring pliers of their holders, who has something in his tool rack? if he is not Autoschrauber, or washing machines repaired? Fortunately, the linkage has been reasonable degree of transparency, and after some fumbling at blind corners narrow the unit was ready for use. The aforementioned splitting cross was placed, but is not needed eigentlcih who splits a strain of about 10 cm in diameter into 4 parts?

Conclusion: splitting cross in the scrap metal collection center, possible to build a wooden shelter where the device may stop and then take advantage of the excellent splitting power to process mountains of wood, so that the family in the winter gets a nice warm butt! For this, the device is just right! and receives from me a perfect score! Despite the stated criticisms, because it exactly meets the purpose for which it was built: Large timber processed into small wood!
