the edges just disintegrate jamie, if you are off target when hitting them in, i alaways use a splitting mall,(sledehammer one end, axe head the other) and when have been thumping away for ages with something horrible in a tricky bit, it idesnt take long to get fatigued, so my aim maybe isnt as good as it should be, the edges just crumble and then split. i think they are crap, i have used then a couple of times then through them away, the plastic ones are the way forward i reckon. yeah the lime was good to cut, but you experts out there will of noticed i hit some crap and the saw started running off, but i knew i would run through about level and i gave myself some room for error when i started as i knew there would be crap somewhere..

I was talking to Mike Hill one night about wedging, and he mentioned deadblow hammers, never heard of them being used in the tree biz before. But since then I bought one, and use it on the hi-lifts and even the plastic wedges, and I havent bust up one wedge since. Good tip Mike:thumbup1:
