Yeah, as the auction went on, I saw more people gathering around the splitter minute by minute. Each one seemed to have fanciful visions of the unit in their garage. I knew I was in trouble. No worries. I still have 3 splitters at home...Jacob (age 18), James (age 16) and Grant (age 14). So I'll be OK...it's just that they're a bit more expensive to maintain than the hydraulic kind.
There was an old Homelite 7-21 there that went for $15.
