Is This The Best Splitting Axe?

[@ZeroSpawn47]

9:15 A froe is a carpentry tool. It's not really for splitting firewood. When you use the right tool for the wrong job, you get your experience here.

[@BBTurning]

The thing with the long blade is called a maul and it is used to split wood along the grain, IE between the rings, if you try and split across the rings they don't work. They are primarily a very old carpentry tool. Shay

[@MrSkaterpunk13]

you mean a froe

[@CKG_35]

it's called a froe

[@TheMidnightExpress12]

thanks for the information

[@BBTurning]

@MrSkaterpunk13 yeah that's it, the maul is the sideways axe as far as I remember, got mixed up in my head.

[@jerrysanchez5453]

It's primarily used to make wood shingles for roofing

[@PictishPrince]

that tool is a shingle froe, you use it to split wood into shingles, not for firewood processing. Although the remnants of shingle making can be used for kindling.

[@GeorgeT6566]

The one is worth the watch just to see Tyler doing all this hard work.

[@SnaggleX]

Wedges are for existing cracks

[@tylerwestman5258]

@@SnaggleX no… wrong

[@Inesophet]

His wedge keeps slipping and coming out, "That usually doesnt happen" She's not impressed...

[@Jawsbyte01]

Yeah, seems like a skill issue to me.

[@kbtriplesix]

Quit coping you two!

[@TheCardjuggla]

im only 6 minutes in but i think the point of the easygo axe is so it doesnt get stuck in the wood more than it is for helping split it in half

[@lordcrayzar]

Freezing out there with your green leaves ha

[@jesser_p]

Tyler is good. But he's no John Henry

[@ParzivalKings]

may i axe you a question about this cutting edge video? because im split on the matter...

[@TheMidnightExpress12]

lol good one

[@tpad6]

I don't have much time, so chop chop!

[@tylerwestman5258]

May I axe you a question… every black person… they can’t say ask

[@tonybaran1860]

Trash

[@MattIsTheCat]

​@@tylerwestman5258I doubt Morgan Freeman would say axe instead of ask.

[@liloreoinya]

So uh. Tyler is a professional wood splitter. 😂

[@memberwhen22]

its a Froe, and it does have a lot of utility. I used one to make the wooden shingles on my cabin

[@tylerwestman5258]

@@memberwhen22 a froe is very useful… I use them to make boards for axe handles

[@SamTheBattleshipp]

You need to name the Maul you aren't going to use, Darth.

[@davidclark7271]

The wood will split easier if you say "Okie Dokie" before you swing the ax.

[@Jon-i6y6i]

7:55 that’s what he said to her

[@raymondgarza6688]

I think tyler tube got us. I think his day job is a lumber jack. He does it for a Leaving

[@RodgerL-s4m]

I’ll never give up my splitting maul. Your original one is best. Because it won’t get caught up going further in. And the first wedge you used is a monster. Gotta use them near edges.

[@timturner7609]

Someone get this man an old car tire

[@Sweatinglikemymominchurch7860]

It looks like one of the pins is falling out of the splitter axe around the 12:05 mark

[@missybuck9968]

2 hits and split, nice

[@lordcorgi6481]

Waited the whole video for Tyler to just grab a piece and Captain America it with his bare hands 🤣

[@colossalsky]

A froe is ment to do more finesse stuff like cedar shingles and way softer woods

[@MrAllmightyCornholioz]

I think you’re suppose to split the froy with a heavier mallet preferably from a discarded wood.

[@StandYourGroundHomestead]

I bought that splitter axe for my husband and he loved it until one of the springs popped out. 😅

[@kenmeuse2226]

It’s called a fro and it’s for splitting shakes from cedar.

[@chuckthetekkie]

Is that your "Bookies" (LOL) hammock I spot in the background?

[@patthompson1761]

“That usually doesn’t happen”. It’s ok Tyler, performance anxiety in front of a camera happens

[@SnaggleX]

That froy is for making split cedar shingles.

[@olddude3266]

Gloves, Tyler! Jeez!

[@s109apache7]

Tyler been uploading more recently 👀?

[@KekW....]

We are blessed with vids at the Moment 🎉 Thx Tyler keep it up🤍🤝

[@viperplayz1987]

how is it goin

[@theonlyrumpleman]

Hey man, completely off topic, have you had house tested for mold? I noticed in this video your eyes changed a bit, possibly humidity too high in house.. Maby do a future video on it

[@amosnomar]

9:47 For making cedar shingles! Not firewood I love watching your videos but you really should do some research on what you’re reviewing. 💕

[@Wheelman1966]

Wow.. I would break that in about 3 weeks

[@ahoyt653]

That is a newer version of the old Chopper 1. We had one in the 80’s , actually I still have it. Best damn splitting axe ever.

[@garrydobson2626]

Put the log in an old tire and it won’t fly off into space.

[@memberwhen22]

tyler im telling you if you crossed over into out doors content like this more and then camping you would get a lot more subs

[@memberwhen22]

your humor with outdoors content and seeing you painfully figure it out would be really fun to watch

[@jeffomalley100]

How much $?

[@NinjAsylum]

6:15 nah that was 2 vs 2. Those other 2 hits dont count you totally missed.

[@Coolman1980s]

Nice!

[@Tristan_Reacts]

Good video

[@Elon_Trump]

claims to have split thousands of logs but doesnt swing an axe properly or knows how to use a wedge correctly. Love this channel.

[@SnowRaver-p2v]

You don't learn proper technique simply by doing. You can learn wrong and continue wrong since it works for you.

[@Myth0s-1233]

heavy thing, swing hard, wood go split, the principle remains the same but you don't just develope a master technique when you're never taught.

[@petepeter1857]

Yeah ok Mr. Dunning_Kruger

[@copasetic1]

While you’re policing perfect wood splitting form, Tyler’s swing and use of the wedge are pretty typical. Not perfect, but typical. There’s a lot that he does that’s way off, but this is not one of those things.

[@Shadowchamp]

The wedge that comes to a point is so much better than that traditional wedge, sent the old school wedge flying so many times

[@dasherpie]

Hello everyone

hi

[@TheMidnightExpress12]

The first time i am early to one of his videos

[@MOHAWKris8]

I don’t know does it cost more than 200$$

[@StormTheTempestborne]

The Froe from what I know, is primarily used for splitting large pieces of lumber across the grain

[@nikolajenoksen7232]

Careful when splitting wood that pin holding the spring arm was loose

[@anthonyguidas2012]

I’m impressed by the axe 🪓. I always thought that was a gimmick. Can’t believe it actually works.
