Klapimaster 15

[Easy Livin’ 3000]

I am just stumbling upon the wonderful world of Nordic specialty tools for the wood lot.

First up, the Klapimaster 15! Can't get that down at the local Walmart.



Guess I should have known that they'd have some good stuff, just based on my Fiskars experience.

They come up with some pretty ingenious tools to work up firewood. Being in the position of no old growth,small diameter wood does make it a little more practical to build purpose built rigs like your video. That size of tree makes for easy handling, but man, it would sure take a pile of them to work up 5 cords.

That's a good point that I had not thought of, regarding all the wood being small and uniform. That said, I am going to figure out how to copy the chop saw half of the machine to get my splits down to n/s loading length. Asplundh sure has a knack for cutting their utility work wood just an inch or two too long for my stove!

They do it on purpose.

I suspected as much. Just one small part of the worldwide conspiracy against ED 3000's easy livin' master plan.

Finally, someone has tamed the spinning screw of death into a reasonably safe setup. Years ago there were many threads on the "Stickler". It was that type of screw hooked onto a wheel hub of a jacked up car.

There are some excellent videos available on YouTube right now, many featuring people risking life and limb to spend twice as much work as normal to split wood badly.

I cannot argue that it's not fun to watch, though.



I am not entirely sure the clapmaster will be a top seller in the U.S. market. (Name aside, I process tree branches that would be too big for that thing.)

Good for whimp wood only,a joke with real wood.

Those are some good guns in that video. I enjoyed the name of the tool as well. I get the impression that klapi must be the Norwegian word for wood, or something. Here in the states, I use the clapmaster to turn the lights on and off so I don't have to get up off the couch. CLAP ON, CLAP OFF, the CLAPMASTER.
