So let me get this straight....You are married. You own a log splitter. Your wife split some wood voluntarily. Your wife went outside, without you having to say anything and fired up the wood splitter and split some wood? You sir are my new hero!
My wife, mother-in-law both like to split using the splitter. Ours pivots, you just have to get the wood positioned.
Wife likes the exercise. Always wanting to help, split, stack etc. Father-in-law and I cut, guess it's a family thing.
BTW, every axe & maul should come with a fiberglass handle.
Father-in-law once told me about using one that had a metal handle. You only missed once.
