Has anyone used a log splitter called the stickler? Their web sight says its the greatest thing since sliced bread. I'm thinking of buying one and would like some real world input. It bolts to a truck wheel and looks like a big wood screw. Thanks.

I had one for years. It attached to the back of my Tractor PTO. I loved it. works like a charm. its just driving a screw shaped wedge into the wood. It will split any size, wet or dry. Thing is do not put the end of it into a place where the a limb has grown.. other than that it works fabulously well and very safe.

: Ever got your jacket or parka, maybe your arm caught in a combine drive belt.Ever been pawed by a bear . Thats the power of your real axle. That"s what I think of the stickler.If you are doing a lot of wood think safe, dependable. take a look at www.mts.net/~ezeecord It could save your life.

::My brother had one years ago that mounted to PTO. He didn't get hurt but he didn't keep it long either. The amount of energy impacted to the wood is huge. And unlike maul/wedge or hydraulic splitting which is straight along the grain of the wood the screw imposes centrifical force. When you hit a knot the whole thing rotates - fast. If you only split straight grained soft wood with no knots you probably wouldn't be in danger - but then why would you need a splitter? Bad news.

It comes with a kill switch that hooks into the ignition.

I don't recommend one. I have a friend who has owned one for almost 20 years. He quit using it
a long time ago. They can be very DANGEROUS to use
because unless the log being split is braced very
well, they can bind and flip it up at you. If
you've ever been thumped by a thirty pound chunk
of oak, you'll know what I mean! Stick to a maul or a hydraulic (I know they're a lot more). You'll
be much happier and safer.
