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!

That thign whike it works, I would not want to use it for a long session of splitting.Neet though!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 Finlandwww.vipukirves.fi
SpeSmurfpillst. 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!
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!Dtrain
Oh lol. I just noticed the thread is several years old. Dang. I need to pay more attention.
The old tire around the log idea from the video is a great one, even if I can't afford the axe.Brilliant thinking, but I'm still not convinced it's not a repetitive-stress injury in the making. I can't imagine there's a way to hold the handle "gently" if the head has any heft at all. Seems like a firm grip would be a safe grip when splitting with any tool, and that torsion has to go back into the body somewhere. You can create devestating injury with a just computer keyboard and a mouse; I'd be hard pressed to believe the ergonomic neutrality of an axe that is so efficient. On the other hand, unless you're splitting on a daily basis, the risk of injury is probably much greater from the axe splitting through and catching a foot or shin.I'd also like to see how it performs on something knotty, gnarly, gummy, and unseasoned.Not trying to bash the invention or the inventor -- I deeply respect anyone that thinks outside the box, and has the ambition and conviction to follow through with producing a viable design.-steve

The blade will NOT continue to your foot.Over four years on the market. NO ACCIDENT.

I hope that you have learned something about my writings. As it happens Ryan's is right.Pm incoming...Thank you for the e-mail.I have given an opportunity to the people. I have never said. "BUY this AXE". I have only tried to explain the functions of my invention. I fully understand that everybody wants to make his money, but this is my hobby . I have got a gift somewhere, why should I hide this information from the people. Thousands of people hurt themselves every year. In the conventional axe or maul are NO safety elements. Each strike can injure the user.Leveraxe is the very first hand operational wood splitting apparatus, where the safety elements have been done beforehand to the structure of the axe so that nobody could hurt himself.The Leveraxe has been on the market nearly five years. During this era there has happened NO ACCIDENT. At the same era only in Finland has happened over 25.000 different accidents with the conventional axes (wedge).I think that it is not question if Ryan right or wrong. The question is about the general safety and better value of individuals lives.I never came to these pages, but I found some sceptics thoughts which I wanted to correct.I used to be as an air traffic controller. I have been on pension over 15 years. My pension is good enough to support me and my wife. I do not need any extra money. I only want to make life a little bit better for the people who realizes the advantages of this invention. In case you have something against this kind if thinking it is totally your choice, but what do you gain out of it.I wish you all all the best from Finland and I wish I haven't caused any bad feelings to anybody.RegardsHeikki, the inventor, born 1940.
