Please be aware that he is not using a Dewalt, Bosch or other typical hammer drill most home owners have! He has a BIGBOY hammer drill... The shank on that chisel looks to be about 3/4"!!
I've got a battery powered one I hardly use nowadays...Will give it a go. Sick of axing hard wood here, blade bouncing back and having to set the log up straight over and over... Update: not working on seasoned Australian hardwood such as my spotted gum logs. 😢
@@hamradio365 hey yes, that was the why I went the route using the jack hammer. I had to split big rounds and there the wood splitter I could afford couldn't host those logs into its bay.
Has anyone tried using one of these on a stump? I would think that if you cut the stump down flush and then do a criss cross pattern, the drill hammer could make short order of the small pieces.
@@jrmoore19531 I have a couple hours in it, 1ft above ground about two feet across. I got some rotten spots. It’s a lot better than trying to dig it out. Had a couple thick long roots near the stump I used a reciprocating saw with the longest Diablo blade I could find.
This is super safe. He's working around small children, and an axe or even a hydraulic splitter would be dangerous. Furthermore the hammer drill takes up almost no space compared to a dedicated wood splitter, and is suitable for so many other things too. This is a easy, fast, effective, efficient, safe and genius way to do the job...
THIS is exactly why I often check RU-vid before tackling projects whether I did them hundreds of times before or never before. ALWAYS looking for new ideas & input! THANK YOU FOR SHARING BROTHER
Hi, I‘ve tested with multiple woods and it works great with oak and locus, fact is that you need more free space around the working area and a solid ground. I had lot of logs and not much free space around to split and collect… Vertical log splitter I couldn’t bring there to heavy and there’s no free way to bring it there
