Great review, and thank you so much! I was about to order one of those things and you just saved me the time, trouble, and expense! Keep up the good work.
These drill bits are awesome, try using it from the side, that's how they were designed to be used. Use a mains powered drill if your cordless is lacking. 100's of videos showing how to use it correctly. 👍
Thanks for this video!
I was about to buy me one, but you had save me some some drama and money .
Thank you!! 😊
Don't make excuses for this product. It's junk and don't do what it promises. Don't waste your time and money.
@@bryancounts9036 lmao 🤣 have you ever tried this product with the appropriate drill? Obviously not, just as the RUclipsr hasn't. This product is the dogs bollox, its a fantastic tool, I bought it for my mate last year and it does exactly what it says on the tin. Battery powered drills don't have the power, try a mains electric 500W + drill and it will mince any log/tree. Or stop giving shitty advice!!🤦
@@FozzyZ28 Yeah, I bet the Milwaukee can handle it granted, corded drills like my Hilti are much better and easier. that thing makes drilling through anything a cakewalk, but I'm here thinking its a skill issue with him. I would attach the PROVIDED BAR GRIP ATTACHMENT that comes with that specific drill, and put a little muscle into it. He's drilling way too fast making the wood into powder and is stopping as soon as it catches and goes to work, the way he gives up so easily is disheartening.
home boy has no idea what he's doing haha
Use a hammer drill or impact and turn the wood on its side like it's meant to be used and it works
Putting the drill in 2 increases the speed and decreases the torque. Put it in 1 and you'll go much further a little slower
Great feedback and tip, thanks! I should have tried that first and worked my way up. Be sure to Subscribe! **SK**
I was also wondering why you didn't start with number 1 on the drill. Slower spend but More torque.
I'm having the same problem with mine getting Stuck. I borrowed some different drills but same problem (Stuck).
For now, back to the AXE.
.
Bullshit.
Put it on 1. Will work great
@@markgood2318 Hahahahaha! Shills and con men everywhere!
I have just received one from Amazon and tried with a corded drill and had the same result as in this video.
That is unfortunate. Thanks for the feedback though. Be sure to Subscribe!
Drill the wood from the side and it will work
Really Enjoyed this! I was about to purchase the splitter and now I'm saving my money for a real one. Thank you.
Get yourself a Harbor Freight 5 ton electric splitter. Trust me.
I am so glad you posted this because we were about to buy one of these with such high hopes. Thank you. Thank you..
People have given good feedback, like lay the log on its side and adjust torque settings, but I think the result is still very lackluster. I figured many others would be similar to me in how I hoped this would turn out. Glad you found this useful & I appreciate your feedback. Be sure to Subscribe!
I saw another one and they reversed the thread and it did it.
That's interesting. Maybe once summer is done I will grab another and go for a round 2. We shall see.
Thanks for the demo.
Thanx for answering that question.
I have one, and it's very useful for splitting smaller chunks of wood. It's really not meant for such large pieces.
I call bullshit. My guess is there is some kind of financial incentive for you to lie here.
Impact or corded drill for this bit.
Boy howdy- that thing is impressive!
I wonder if it would work on setting #1 on the gear box. It would provide more torque to split the wood.
The only way this concept works is with large stationary machines. The best tool for home-owners is one of those electric-hydraulic splitters for about $300
If you look close .The piece they cut is short and very dry you could split with a hatchet.If you try a 10 inch piece of green oak it won't split but get stuck.
I didn't think those things would work and never bought one. Great review.
Seriously?? Great review??
Those things do work 🤦🏼♂️
Yeah, the physics of them is a joke.
Did you try on the bark side, using on #1 setting and applying rotation that favors the thread??
I’m surprised you didn’t even try splitting them resting the log sideways.
Please let me know is that works.
I did not, somewhat poorly executed testing I'd admit in some respects. But I also wanted it to split logs that hadn't been split in some way, I already have a log splitter than makes quick work of fire logs into kindling. Some have said that yields some.resukts...although I just had someone tell.me even with the corded drill it wasn't working so it's a mixed bag. My take is even with the best results it's not nearly what you would truly hope it would be. Thanks for watching and commenting. Be sure to Subscribe!
I watched a couple videos on adds for a wood splitting drill bit like this one, maybe just not the same brand. They didn’t begin on the end of the log, but they went in from the side near the end and worked down toward the other end. It looked like they kind of wiggled the drill back and forth from side to side as the drilled to help the splitting action along. You might want to try it that way. I see this was from 7 months ago and so may be already a case closed. Thanks for your helpful videos!
Thank you for the tips. I have been planning a retest, with better equipment and using many of the suggestions given. Hope you Subscribe and catch it when I release the update. Merry Christmas and happy holidays!
You are exactly right on your video. THESE JUNKY THINGS DO NOT WORK AT ALL Tried my new one today!!!
Is there a reason you have to go in reverse? Thanks
Thanks for the review, saved me money.
Great review, thanks so much. saved me money because I was tempted to get it
Thanks for saving my money.
This style of wood splitting drill bit is designed to use on the edge of the log (through the bark), not the end of the log.
exactly
How long did you let that wood dry, needs too dry for at least a year. If it was a live tree.
It seems to me you are testing it on hardwood. What about softwood, like a spruce?
Great review! Don't let the know-it-all naysayers bother you. I wanted to find a review doing just as you did, working with common household tools. I didn't want to have to fire up the generator while camping to power my electric hammer drill! And your review confirmed what I thought, and saw on other channels, so great job! I'll stick to my 4 lb sledge and axe. With that combo, I can split almost anything! But suffering with this stupid arthritis, it takes me a couple hours to be able to function so I had some real hopes that the drill thingy would work. So I appreciate you exposing that drill bit for what it is. While it may work in "some" instances, overall, I'm not wasting my money on it. Thank you again for your fine review. All the best, -Mike
Thanks for that feedback and support! I have a manual foot press log splitter that I use. Really only good for the quarter pieces, or up to 8 inches round, but it makes quick work of them with minimal effort. I have a video of that on my channel too, you should check it out. Be sure to Subscribe too!
Cred ca faceți reclama la ceva ce nu este bunpentru a crapă lemne dați ceva mai bun nu cumpar nu este bun😅
Da am sa ma uiți sa vad cum funcționează Dar cred ca tot toporul este mai bun
Thanks - was thinking of buying one because of shoulder problems ... but probably not
Yeah, I almost tweaked my wrist. Sounds like some people had slightly better results, but overall, it seems like something best for small kindling to be broken down even smaller. Happy the content was useful. Be sure to Subscribe! **SK**
Thx bro you did this exactly as I would've done, I need something to split stuff down the middle, not put on their sides etc, just not for me, moving on...VERY helpful!
Thanks
good to know
Great video! Thanks
I have 2 powerful 1/2 inch drills and I get the same results as you I am keeping my maul and wedges
Thank you sir... You just saved me some money...
They do work on small stuff. I live in a tiny home with a tiny stove that accepts 10 inch wood. It will split that if it’s seasoned and I set my drill to setting 1. But you really need to hold on because it will twist your wrists if not.
Yea, I hear that. That's for the feedback and adding your experience with it. Happy Holidays & Merry Christmas. Stay warm out there and be sure to Subscribe!
Thanks for a warning 👍🏻👍🏻
More apt title for this video: "Clown Wears Slides With Socks While Attempting To Use Power Tool Accessories On Power Tools He Does Not Know How To Operate In The First Place".
Lol yeah perhaps. Might have secured a few more views too 😅
Yep. Too funny. Good way to sprain/break a wrist. That drill is not designed for that purpose.
Are those the latest clown slides?😮
😁 оригинальный способ колки дров. Мужик купи топор, не мучай инструмент.
Says the clown with zero content. How about giving some tips. Mr. Zero subs and zero content
Was the wood dried or green?
More green than seasoned..maybe 6 months old.
Was that wood seasoned or recently cut? I believe those splitters are intended to split dry, seasoned wood. That wood looks fresh cut.
Thanks from Sweden!
Very welcome, thanks for watching!
It seems to me the problem is that you don't have an additional 90° handle on that drill to control the torque. It sounded like the drill could've kept going but when it was about to break your wrist you (quite understandably) released the trigger. Maybe try it again with the right drill like the guy in the sales video is using.
Not a bad suggestion and I'm sure could only serve to help, especially with the cordless. Thanks, be sure yo Subscribe!
I use a cordless tool to split my logs,have done since before this 'amazing' invention😉 It's called a sledge hammer and wedges👍has never failed, doesn't need charging and save me going to the gym😉👍😎
Thanks for the review. I was wondering if they were a gimmick. Glad to not waste my money
Thank you for saving me the trouble of ordering one!
That was the goal, to help avg buyers like myself and you. I was hoping it would work, I had no clue prior to the test. It's unfortunate, but I'm glad I could save you the trouble. Thanks for the feedback. Be sure to subscribe!
Okay - what happens if you use an electric cable powered that is designed to have more horsepower and torque than battery operated drills that are more designed for lighter weight construction work?
I think you may actually get some splitting, but still under certain conditions. I think most are going to attempt as I did and it won't be the results they are hoping for. I think even a couple tweaks I may have got a log to Crack, but regardless it wouldn't have been close to what I was hoping for.
Man. I was disappointed. I wanted it to work. Glad I w watched this. You saved my 20 bucks. I'll stick to the maul. Thanks for sharing this video.
Welcome! I had high hopes for a quick little tool too.
just a tip - if this is no good at splitting wood , try using it in your drill and slip on a polishing mop - pretty much the same as a pigtail designed for the purpose - you might as well get some use out of it. I have axes for splitting wood - powered by my son - effortless ;
Why did you not place the wood on its side and drill into the bark part of the log?
I know I often have to do this when using my old fashioned axe on harder wood logs for my winter heat. Show me the attempt using your cordless power tool with that drill bit.
Thank you very much. I won't waste my money
Thank you! You saved me from buying this!
useful video thanks
Thanks for taking on for the team, this is trash!
Wear boots to split wood.
Gransfors Bruks Lg. Splitting Axe.
Been doing it with this tool for years and much quicker than a hydraulic “splitter”.
Thanks for your loving response. Do us all a favor and stop filling our air with your hatred.
The advertisements for these bits show it being used on the sides of the wood, instead of straight down from the ends. It might have a different effect from the sides. I haven’t tried one of these bits though.
U realy saved my time I almost ordering this fake tool because of fake advertising thank u so much
Put the wood on it side. The way you’re doing it is like holding an egg on the outside of it trying to squeeze it and wonder why it won’t break. That’s the strongest part of the wood at the top 🔝
I know this is 5 months old now, But if you havnt figured it out yet Those are Normally Reverse Threaded which means u NEED the Drill in Reverse for it to work properly .
I am tempted to give the test another go. I will have to purchase another one though so I appreciate all the tips. Thanks for watching, be sure to Subscribe!
Why are you in the high speed setting
I will save my money - thanks
I have one like this.. I had to start the split less than the diameter of the bit (1.4 inch) from the edge of the log so the bit does not get stuck and the log opens at the edge. You can also us a regular drill to make starter holes 1 inch apart just 1 inch deep and mayb use a wedge/hammer to further start the split. once the drill opens from the outside, work futher inside to open the log.
I can see how that may work. I may get around to another test eventually. I do feel most expect a much simpler process and result. But I do like to give products a fair shot and asses from there so I appreciate the tips. Happy New Year! Be sure to subscribe!
Thanks for sharing, I saw some video clips of them using something like that before seemed to split the wood just fine. But I think they were drilling through cedar? Or other soft woods. Otherwise the reality would show "hah ain't buying that if it can't drill/ split through any type of wood a person would have" lol. Which that always gets me, when they advertise something, they only show what they want people to see, not what they need to see smh. Inerways again thanks for sharing.
Yeah, it's better if it's already fireplace size, you do it on its side, high torque, some suggest in reverse even due to the drill pattern, and really what you get is kindling. I have a manual foot press that is faster and easier than all that. It certainly didn't perform as I had hoped either. Thanks for commenting, be sure to Subscribe!
The drill was spinning anti clockwise by the looks of the settings on the drill and the kickback direction when it was sticking. Probably wont make a difference to be fair as those tool bits are shocking but it might give it the slightest of chances 😂
Saved me time and aggravation!
Tx
It would be interesting to see what it would do chucked in ny Hole Hawg.
My home is heated by wood and solar. I tried one of those and would never waste my money again on one of those.
Get the fuel version. What you have is regular consumer grade drills. The fuel is what contractors use. Also safety tip, if you are using a drill for that application; put on the handle that came with the kit. It will save your wrists.
You mean a hammer drill
Hahahahaha! The "fuel version". Hahahaha! The physics of this item is a JOKE! There is no way it can do anything but break bones!
Splitting wood is best done by ones self
Drill until stuck, remove drill, smash with sledge hammer until split, repeat.
It's so easy!
It usually done in the middle with a wood ale. The last word might be spelled wrong
What are you reviewing, the drill driver or the splitting tool?
Btw, those splitting tools don't work. They'll only end up causing wrist injuries.
The wood tool. I could have e put it on a slightly better setting, but I think it was a good representation of what most people would find if they tried using one. And I agree, I almost tweaked my wrist just doing the review 😬. Thanks for watching & the feedback. Be sure to Subscribe! **SK**
You are using the wrong drill. Its not powerfull enough. You need a 1500 w corded hammer drill with a handle@@SKLIFEstyle
All the other videos show them drilling from the sides, thru the bark.
Im a 71 year old grandma. I have limbs to split. I'm on a budget. Wood is the way I heat my house in the winter. Any suggestions on how I go about this please? Im pretty good cutting the limbs with my electric chain saw. A gas one would be too heavy for me to use. Now I need to split and stack. Thanks.
If that is the case and you want to use this be sure to have a powerful corded drill. Honestly though, I like our manually foot splitter from Ocean State for like $50. You just use your weight to press down. I have a video of that on my channel, you should check it out. But otherwise I would buy a small electric splitter if manual work isn't an option. Just about any can do fireplace size logs. Of course it will be like 6x the price of the manual but it will certainly do the job. Hope that helps, be sure to Subscribe!
First only try this with seasoned (wood cut into 12 inch to 13 inch logs and drying for one year or more)… the wood pieces in this video look green in my humble opinion and need to dry for at least another 6 months before attempting to split).
I bought one years ago to try, and even with my biggest electric core drill, it didnt work very well, especially with bigger rounds.
Well, crud! I am looking for a cheap way to split my logs than swinging a sled into wedge.
These are supposed to be used at 90 degrees to the log! From the side. I have a big one on my tractor and it will split 2 foot diameter, 4 foot tall logs with ease.
It's all about power. You can't do that with battery drill with 150w of power. You need at least 1500W
Why are you running it in reverse???
I just bought one of those and the best thing to do is lay it on its side to lock. That is if you go from the top that son of a gun is going to bind up on you. Good way to bust the wrist. My suggestion. Try it on inside to log on inside. Good luck!
Appreciate the tips and feedback!
Thank you for showing us what not to buy, please be careful not to hurt yourself, that will brake your wrist!
If it were that easy, I would have been very stupid when I bought a 12 ton splitter
I bought one of those dadgum drill heads and it didn't work for crap
Old saying, "if it seems too good to believe, it probably is".
Almost always true, lol!
Videos I viewed drill bit was approached from bark side
You have to have a big hammer drill to use this thing those things are for Putnam drywall screws get a bigger drill the thing will rip through that wood. Or the one you order is a piece of garbage but I don't use a little tiny drills like that for this new wood splitter I already tried to put on a big plug-in hammer drill and it ripped through 15 inch long and cut up the three paces I put an extension on it to. No slouch that's your everyday wake power drill for inexperienced laborers.
@1:50 Yep. That's what I expected.
Was I the only one screaming, "Put it in 1st gear!"?
I thought the drill was supposed to go in the side of the log. It won’t grab properly in end grain.
These are designed to be used into the side of the log not the end like you are attempting, which is impossible.
Very good call out. I should have tested that angle too.
😂😂😂 bro bout to snap that wrist 🤦🏻♂️
Try using in reverse mode
You're supposed to do it on the side of the log (horizontally) not on the top of the log (vertical). So, you haven't shown me anything yet.
Lol fair enough. I will be doing a full test with a corded drill as well soon, and various angles and speeds of seasoned wood as well. Be sure to Subscribe to catch it when I release it! Merry Christmas & Happy Holidays!
This drill has an anti kickback feature that causes the motor to stop when it senses a kickback about to occur. That’s probably why it felt like it wasn’t strong enough to split the wood. Don’t be fooled by the fact that they’re battery powered because they have enough torque to break your arm. Turn this feature off, put on a pair of steel toes, get yourself some work gloves, and try again. 👍🏼
In gree half hard moister wood of 12 to 15 " that yust swalov mashinedril.,,end that ,,worck with wibro big hak,,,or haker drill,,,,but newer dont tray that in hawy hard dry wood witch is used for roler or weel base,,,,mutch bigger mashine manage that but on0,5 to 1mm deep..or on little bitess
You are supposed to lay them on their side!
Enjoyed watching this honest video and hope you got the free return. Thanks.
Thank you. Yes, I did, thankfully. Appreciate the feedback, be sure to subscribe! And have a great Memorial Day Weekend.
Drill at the sides
I shoulda watched this before heading out to Home Depot.
Do they sell them there now, too?
One problem might be you have the drill at the wrong setting number one gives you more torque number two gives you more speed but less torque. You need to work with a tool like that. Give it a try and setting number one it is much stronger.
I should have started with one...or at least tried both. Idk if it just looked to well designed I figured it would just go, but it might have had slightly better results doing that combined with a few other tricks. I may give it a second chance test if I grab another one soon before we really hit winter.
Try to load torque 1
