After I felt some dozens of times I sneaked in local hardware store on the part skeptical over überedete my joking always after chopping wood shoulder my purse to invest in this cute little device. As initially written, due to the very low price (in Yipiheee hardware store the device comes only 169 EUR) and the extremely compact dimensions more than skeptical. The positive reviews here were these doubts but disappear. And rightly so. Open No assembly needed, bleed screw the hydraulic and you're able. Without any problems splits the device within the specified dimensions, the wood, I had pine and beech. Even pieces with branches etc. presented no obstacle there. Strong buy recommendation! Over the long-term durability I can, of course, nothing to report, I've got at least from today's perspective no doubt.
