First impression, definitely "outside the box thinking."
Everybody here said whtnthehell are those?
I am amazed at how light they are, and that is probably their biggest short coming.
I like the handles, they are plenty long enough, and feel very comfortable.
Now, I only had one species of wood in front of us today. PIN OAK!
Leverax 1 and 2 = o against pin oak.... a big zero. My truper splitting maul breaks right thru the oak.
We tried 8inch limbs and 23inch rounds, 16inch lengths.
Pin oak was cut Friday, so it was nice n green.
I know pin oak isn't a fair assessment, it's some tough stuff to bust.
Hopefully the leverax will perform better tomorrow, will be splitting seasoned ash and black cherry tomorrow.
There was three of us using them, took anywhere from 6 - 10 hits to split the pieces....I donno maybe we just sissies.
It is comfortable to use, it just did not do it's job, and there is a learning curve for them, that I'm not use to yet.
More to be revealed.......
