Talk about dedicated splitting-axe

[Tarrodemierda]

this is one hellova axe,no matte rits  limited using range,its very powerful tool.but its expensve too,some 180 euros here.just check out the home page,theres a video of the axe doing its job.

Neet, but look at the torque put on his wrist. That thign whike it works, I would not want to use it for a long session of splitting.

Neet though!

Wow that really is quite impressive.   I think that HC is right though, it has to be twisting in his hands and putting a fair bit of strain on the wrists.  At least you don't have to work with it long, it goes through those rounds in no time.

I would be very pleased as an inventor, if you would spend some time in my website. There is a lot of information about this new way to split the firewood easy and very safely. The splitting tecnique is totally different comparing to the conventional axes. With LEVERAXE splitting you hold the handle only very gently in your hands so that the handle can rotate in your hands at the end of the strike. You will not hurt your wrists at all.There is almost NO friction, the axeblade never sticks into the block. The blade never hurts yourself, because the blade always stops ON the block, never goes through. Still it spreads the split up to 8 centimeters (3,5 inc). I could write a book about this new tool, but it is all ready in my bewsite. Make yourself aquainted with this new fantastic way to make firewood.
I wish you all the best from Finland

Welcome to the forum mate

[hawkchucker]

Specialist. I will certainly look more into this. How did you come up with the Design? The axx is mans oldest tool, and is really unchanged in history. How did you think of this!

Welcome to the forum Specialist

Will have to check out your site

Hello
Thank you for your interest towards this invention. Starting from the very begining I want to say that I have more than 60 years experience in using different kind of axes, mainly in purpose to split the firewood. Sometimes 20 years ago, when I bought this property, where I live at the moment, I had to cut down a lot of different kind of trees. I did not want to spoil the environment with big mashines and that is why I had to do the work by hand. I considered the conventional axes very dangerous and hard to work with. It was many times very close to an accident during my work. So I started to think. Why nobody has developed the axe. In prinsible the conventional axe is still the same wedge that the stoneage man greated around four million years ago. Today the manufacture makes the same wedge of iron. So, where is the development? Difficult to find. There is still a chanse to hit to your foot with each strike, because there are not any safety elements. You take the risk with every strike.
The LEVERAXE has sertain safety elements that makes the splitting nearly 100% safe. So far during this three years there has happened NO accident. The form of the blade is designed so, that the axeblade remains ON the block after EVERY strike or at least slows down speed so much that you can fully controll it. The form is eccentric, the point of gravity, is aside of the striking line. This means that the sertain laws of physics step into the game at the time when the blade touches the block and makes the blade to lean to the right in a fraction of a second with the result that it penetrates to the wood only 5 millimeters , around a quarter of an inc, but still spreads the split out of the block up to 8 centimeters (3,5 inc). Then the axeblade stops ON the block. It will NOT continue it's way to the foot of man/ woman. This mechanism does not take away any power to the friction. This may be difficult to understand, but for further information you can find a lot from my website www.vipukirves.fi
The main answer to your queston is: Thinking a lot, makeing prototypes, testing, thinking , makeing prototypes, testing...........etc.
Try to think different, forget the old way to split, try to understand this new way. After getting aquainted to this new idea, I quarantee, that your future splittings will bee full of joy, safety and effeciency.
I wish you all safe future.
Regards Heikki, the inventor. 
PS. Two slogans : Splitting with a conventional axe is like driwing a car without brakes.
                         Do you fasten the safetybelts before or after the accident?
The LEVERAXE has buildt in brakes and safetybelts, so you do not have to worry about possible accident.

That really is an ingenious solution Well done!!

[Freudian Frog]

Bloody brilliant! How do I get one over here?

[NutSAK]

I need one of those!  I split a lot of wood each year for my wood stove, and just a couple of weeks ago I cut into the top of my boot with a standard splitting axe.

I think that it is really neat. In my younger days I used to deal with alot of firewood to make some extra cash. I used a maul quite a bit since for me at 19-24 years old it was alot quicker than a gas powered splitter. I ain't no Paul Bunyon, but I have put up my fair share of wood. When I looked at your axe, at first I could not figure out how it would work, or be safe, but after watching the video and observing the , I guess unorthodox striking technique, it all made sense. I don't put up wood anymore, I help my Pops out now and again with his woodstove feeding, but he likes his splitter. At 65 and one heart attack followed by a quad bypass I don't blame him.

Out of curiousity, what does your maul run for delivered to US?, I'm ashamed to say that I am a bit inadequate converting euros to dollars.

In Closing, welcome to the forum and that is one really cool outside the box aproach to coming up with a better splitting maul!
