Did Andy bring them? I forgot about them. Conditions weren't good anyway, but I would have liked to see them.

Who has it now and how did you like it?

 

[svk]

Still at @andydodgegeek 's house. I know he brought them to several GTG's this spring but folks were much more interested in running ported saws than splitting wood. Maybe he has a few thoughts to add.

It rained so much at our spring fling here in Iowa that we didnt even get it out to try.......that and I think we all forgot about it. Too bad, cause I wanted to try it out and look it over.

prolly not ,Ron and I both got permanant layoffs.After 19yrs,what a kick in the _____ .
would have the time but $ be tight for awhile.
I would love to come up,but.

 

[andydodgegeek]

Yup I still have them. We are doing chainsaw races at a local county Fair on July 18 and we are cutting and splitting at my house the day before. Will bring them out and try them then. Haven't really had a chance to try them out myself yet, haven't split any wood for s long time. From the few people that I did see use it I heard most say they prefer the Fiskars. Maybe just take some getting used to.

Sorry to hear. Hope to meet you guys someday.

I am ready to give these a whirl, I have ash, oak, hickory and elm to test them with.

 

[svk]

Just spoke to Andy, he'll drop them at my place and I'll mail to you. I have the spare handle too.

Has anyone seen he Kickstarter campaign for the newest leverAxe?

Supposedly there have been NO ACCIDENTS with its use. Obviously he never saw Wranglestar's video review where his wife busted her lip open, chipped her tooth and got stitches.

Not sure why he wants to raise $150,000 in funding, the thing looks exactly like the version he already has out. *scratching my head* msp_confused

hundred bucks gets you one in red/black, or two hundred for "kickstarter green" paint.

Actually the "hateful" Fiskars X27 is the one that got her lip.

This has been posted on here a few times but until they become a sponsor they cannot advertise.

I've split a decent amount of wood with the Leveraxe and would agree they are worth 100 clams.

Ah, I stand corrected. I wish he could get his prices more in line with what Fiskars charges for X27 axes. Can you elucidate what exactly is required in order to become a site sponsor?

 

[svk]

It's a matter of paying a sponsorship fee. Certain sponsorship types even get the sponsor their own dedicated forum.

 

[svk]

He's gathered 140k in less than two weeks now. Seems the pricing point around 100 bucks works well as he pre-sold 1000 axes at that price.

 

[svk]

The Leveraxe company passed their tooling goal of 150k today. So the mass produced tools will have a redesigned handle and the cost will be much more feasibile.
