@MJGEGB2 ай бұрын
@@Ozarkwonderer if you want another fun trick for your bag. Once I get the glut started I like to flip the whole thing upsidedown and toss it down onto the working surface so that the weight and momentum of the piece works to split itself. Otherwise I mostly side split with the target laid up against another log on the opposite side of where I'm working. I don't like bashing my knuckles either. Just be sure that only the very end is contacting the splitting log so you don't risk a seesaw effect sending the wood up into your face.

This is a pos. You can always count on pulling it out of your pocket, switched on, with a dead battery. Battery companies started designing flashlights. So therefore they are designed to waste batteries and never be reliable. Back in the 1970s flashlights had an on an off switch. You can always count on your flashlight working because it didn’t turn on in your pocket. I know this is made by hyper tough, but I am quite certain that battery companies designed it. The flashlight is $10 but it cost you $30 a year in batteries and you not counting on it working. If anything needs to be regulated by the government it should be flashlights. They should be reliable as a flashlight may mean life or death. Just another piece of garbage that looks good. Don’t you think flashlight companies could design a flashlight to turns off if it accidentally turns on in your pocket? Corporate greed, ruined everything including flashlights. The execs make millions at the expense of providing customers with a battery con job and low quality. This flashlight could’ve been good but shitty designers apparently come at a low price
