I made the fatal mistake of asking someone.....
The person in the block splitter aisle said they're in 'Tools'.
'Tools' said they're down with the block splitters.
My local Mitre 10 had the sharpener in stock & the assistant even knew where it was.
The Albany one didnt,I had seen it in their cattledog.The nuffy at the counter said I was dreaming,asked if he had the cattledog,yep.I want one of those.Didnt know they made one,we MAY be able to get you one wouldnt be for at least a month!!!!Quote:

Great Thread and plenty of videos on YouTube showing the splitter in action.
Will grab one from Bunnings.
About 1/2 price through Amazon, even with postage from USA.Quote:

Thanks .Mary
Pallets/packing pine make good kindling,drive around industrial estates they stack it out the front for people to take,it smashes up easy with the back of an axe.Wouldnt take long to get a trailer full.
Make sure they are the un-branded cheap looking versions.These arent treated for termites.The stronger returnable ones like CHEP etc could be treated as they are made for multiple re-use.
Enjoy
