why ??????

the idea has it's merits BUT … … time and effort to make it plus the size and clumsiness factor, I don't think this would have got any support on Dragons Den.

How do you get the insert to return? It's not attached to the bolt as far as I can see. Also, it will all go very rusty and stick. Not to mention a 13mm spanner would be a lot smaller.

What a pointless task...... Rolling Eyes

Unwieldy and ‘top heavy’. Nothing a ten quid adjustable or mole grip wouldn’t do ten times better....

If anyone wants one of these, just three minutes with a grinder will transform an old nut splitter . . . !

Exactly, not sure where the guy lives but it may be his only option or he may just enjoy making things who cares, I bet he's not bothered that some nobody sitting behind a keyboard thinks he's doing it all wrong Rolling Eyes
