      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. 👍

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.

  • @corrosioncrawler5706

    Those bits are incredible when used properly on the material they were designed for. These are great for splitting kindling sized pieces with a cordless drill. Trying to split a big log with it would be like trying to use a hatchet to split it, then claim that the hatchet wouldn’t do the job. They make much bigger ones that bolt up to a truck axle. You Jack up a wheel, remove the tire, and fit the base over the lug bolts and bolt up w lug nuts. This is the size you need to split logs. Or the ones that fit a tractor PTO.

    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.

      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.

    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!

    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

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.

    You are supposed to lay them on their side!

    Read the instructions on how to use the splitter. Try laying the log on its side and drill through the side of the log..

    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.

    You are supposed to drill into the bark, horizontally not through a cut face.

      Welcome! I had high hopes for a quick little tool too.

  • @harryjames7675

    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.

    Saw this on Amazon and the way it indicated to use it, is completely different from what he was doing. Actually he was trying to use it the way they indicated not to use it.

      @SKLIFEstyle  2 місяці тому

      @bigponce1 you are right, I did mention that they mention to use a cord and such. I figured many would still want to try it this way like I did. That said I did reorder and will be posting a true test with a corded drill and dry wood etc, soon.

    The reason I didn't buy one of these because they said you need a heavy duty impact drill.

    Lay the log down on its side and drill it on the side.

    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.

    • @SKLIFEstyle
      @SKLIFEstyle  10 місяців тому

      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 figured these things don’t work as well as the ads where they split wood like it’s nothing. Maybe they are using soft woods.

    • @SKLIFEstyle

      I think smaller pieces, on their side, with a corded drill will get some minor results. But yes, no where near what I think most would hope for.

    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 😂
