This cracked me up. Your legs dangling looked like Elf On The Shelf. Bill watched the video. This idea might have potential here. The surgeon who rebuilt my thumb said no more hand splitting for me. Big rounds are stood up and I saw them into managable pieces. This might help out busting up larger rounds. Great video.
Cris ain't gonna freeze. He's got wood out of the gazoot. But it's still fun watching the videos like you said. I tried it last summer with a brand new dewalt hammergun that I bought for breaking up front steps that were crumbling at my sister and laws house. They were old. House was built in 1948. They put cinderblocks as the base. Then concrete all around it and on top. Well anyway when I tried to use my dewalt with the wedge bit. All it did was go inside about a inch and stop and get stuck. I could see that it wouldn't work. It needed to keep pushing inward. All it did was hammer on the outside and barely go inside. That's why a maul and steel wedges are better. They keep going in like a ram splitter. Even when I used my monster maul, it worked better that the dewalt hammergun. Because it goes in further and with 210 pounds of force behind it. It's back to the gas splitter. ⛽️
So what I think we all learned today, use the proper tool for the job. I now know a jackhammer is NOT the right tool for splitting wood. HA Loved it when both feet where suspended and nothing.
A little comic relief this morning. Thanks for making this video, Chris. I'll be back tomorrow morning and maybe watch one of the other 1300 videos later today.
I thought the answer would be no. And, in reality, I was right. What a waste of time when a maul would do the job so much better and quicker. Fun experiment though!
Fun video today Chris! 🔥💯👍. Would be interesting to see how it would make out with a wedge type of splitter head on it 🔥💯👍. See you soon! Andrew from NB :)
Does anybody know what time the Eastonmade offices open this morning?? I want to see about getting my deposit back and order the Vevor jackhammer instead!!😮
Only you would do a short segment on splitting wood with a jackhammer. should have waited for Kenny......lol. this was a hoot.....thanks for sharing with us.
Thats a really nice nothing burger. The machine wears you out before you even get a couple pieces split. I have a dewalt hammergun and the same shat happened. It was brand new. Oh well its splitter time. Its good for breaking up concrete pads and walkways. And drilling overhead for hilti bolts for your pipe hangers because i know you need that when your trying to split wood. Its gas splitter time.
Thanks for the smile, great content. I wish when you chucked the maul on that cord you shorted it, that would have made even better RU-vid content. Hit the like button.
Good morning Chris!!😀😀 I often wonder if a Jack hammer would work for splitting wood effectively. The jury is in. A resounding NO!! It's looking like winter is going to catch up with us this week. Hopefully we don't get the amount of snow they are predicting. By this time next week we could have over a foot of snow on the ground and below zero temperatures. Take care my friend!!😀😀💚💚 Logger Al
@@BertsCustomCuts Kioti to the rescue. That will be a cold ride using it for cleanup. That's why I bought a tractor with a cab just for these kind of days in the winter so I can clean up snow in my shit sleeves. And stay cool when it's 90 degrees in the summer.
Mr. Horse, you sound jealous. And nothing is free, I make a new video every day for 3 1/2 years ...1300+ now and have paid for everything I get with 4-6 hours of work every day on the channel.
has nothing to do with being jealous or not its more about subscribing to a channel to see cutting stacking and processing wood but instead we have infomercials on snowblowers solar power packs bicycles blowers and now jackhammers and while watching those infomercials there are commercials during the video that is my point i was making but take it as you will @@InTheWoodyard
I bought one of those, works great on rock and compacted clay/pan materials. I have several bits for it and It tamps and compacts well. Keep an eye on the oil level and don’t over fill! It was a good price and it had great reviews! Sure as hell NOT using it for firewood splitting 😂😂😂😂😂
A sledge hammer is quicker if the concrete is only 4-5 inches thick. You just have to lift it and drop/hit it. Unless you're next to something you have to be careful by, most of the pros have those but don't use them often outside. Nice video. The wood soaks up the blows from that little jack hammer. (electric =Whimpey, Pneumatic=more powerful usually) Wood needs an Eastenmade to split it.
Even Superman would have a hard time splitting with a jackhammer. I've tried it myself, not sure if the stroke isn't long enough or the bit needs more wedge shape. Didn't seem reasonable that it could break concrete, but not firewood rounds. So I built a big wedge for the bottom of a Shaver post pounder. That didn't work either. Hit after hit, no split, but it did drive the round right down in the ground! I tried it sittin' on concrete too. If it wasn't sitting darn near perfect, it'd come flying out of there with some real force! Well, being a quick study, it didn't take more than half a dozen tries for me to decide on some other project! Who'd a thunk? Thot I'd take a few minutes and reinvent the wheel. Blew that one too. Did better building a hydraulic splitter. Telling you this to save you some time. You can go ahead and try these if you want, but the maul is prob safer.
Chris to bad there didn’t sent it 10 days to later. Probably could use it for cracking Christmas nuts 🌰, walnut, chestnut and peanuts 🥜. Give the wedge to ken he probably could welder them on his iceberg wood 🪵 splitter. Iiiii iiiii thinking 🤔 Chris firewood 🪵 be going up in PRICE in 2024 dues to working man hrs splitting firewood 🪵. 😊
Better tip and softer wood. Dryer wood maybe.. start from the edge. But yeah better wedge and and start from the edge and it might be the ticket for those big rounds you have to noodle down to work with.
@@InTheWoodyard for sure. Just one of those s and g things if you had to. Plus the right wedge for the hammer might actually work better than noodling lol.
You have not put it together yet as I am watching and think the spike or short wedge will split wood better. Let's see if I am correct after the feet dangling clip.
WOW... Vevor is desperate for exposure AHAHAHAHAHA.. I wouldn't think they'd expect you to try and split wood ?? Many You tube Videos Proving What you attempted is still not practical.... Thanks Chris...
Good for change the steel pins on your tractor bucket went there get stuck and need to replace from wear 😊. It’s good for breaking the tires off a ATV rims . Woodyard trailer tires 🛞. Chris you could use crack a deer 🦌 chess ♟ open to get at the heart ❤️ and lungs on them big deer 🦌. Put a hammer head on it use for getting bump out off bottom off N N trailer there millions off use if we think 🤔 off them . 😊
