I know! You are so right. I’ve tried this several times. The design is such that you can’t have the splitter reach all the way (flush with the surface). Can you send me a video of how to do this the right way?
You would have had more success if having tightened the splitter and cut into most of the nut you then used it to wind the not off. Trying to remove a nut which has just been mangled with a nut splitter by using a spanner is dumb - you have just destroyed the nut and distorted the surfaces where the spanner is supposed to fit !
Thanks for sharing your test of this tool. In some cases the nut will distort enough to break the rust even if it isn't split completely. And it would be a good idea to put anti-seize compound, or some high pressure lube, on the tool threads to ease operation and protect the threads...particularly with the less expensive tools.
I think you're right. However, the design is such that it prevents from splitting any nuts flush to any surface (which is why I had to turn the nut around). Thanks for your comment, that means a lot.
I think the design is flawed then. I mean it is cheap, but I didn’t find it that effective. Especially if you are working on old cars and machines in hard to reach places, or bolts tightened against flat surfaces.
@@ToolWallpro .. it appears to be the finest Chinesium true enough, but none of them cut all the way through that i've ever used .. even the high dollar ones, you take a hammer & chisel & knock it Counter Clockwise, or whatever direction Loose is & the halves Pop Off .. 🧰👨🔧

Great tip! Thanks for taking the time to comment.
Why don't the just have a cutter on both sides?
I think the device is only semi-useful. I didn’t find it that efficient. My guess is that it needs to stay as cheap as possible.
Where did you buy the tool? Im having a hard time finding one
On Ali Express. I think I can get you a link if you like.
In my experience three cuts are required to break the nut.

Thanks! I would love to get some feedback. Anything you might think would improve the videos I make. Lee.
.. well no, you finish it off with a Chisel & Hammer .. 🙄🧰👨🔧
