Personally prefer homemade splitters, especially this blokes one with a super safe Capstan Winch rope loader, foolproof design!
(Skip to 2:20 and please don’t try this at home :-)

FWIW: Most of the native gums in our hills won’t even begin to crack (green) without 30T rams minimum and still struggle on the gnarly knotty bits.

A bit noisy though.

Have bitten the bullet and started my Ryobi collection. Should be good enough for the around the house.

It all good until a piece falls across the table. The blade will want to go somewhere...

Ryobi make some decent stuff mate, if your nowlt using them everyday for trade 100% they are an awesome tool. Had a decent company set a few jobs ago, could not fault them except they had slightly less balls to.go the distance. Also, Ryobi are the only brand I believe that make an 18v hot glue gun, much handier than you think, pretty much can fix everything.

I spent the weekend working on my house, and refitting the back of the nav for work. I'm happy with the end result. Relevance to this section:

Bought a 30m air hose reel from total tools. Had some credits to spend and TT by far had the cheapest 30m hose going. $129, used it all weekend,only fault I can find is it's out then in fully, there is no adjustment if you need a little more but for $30 cheaper than the next best option I'm not complaining!!!

I ran a metal 60m hose real with pressure fitting and pressure rated hose for years...it was set up so I just plug in my trailer and could reach the whole home inside, on top and around the eaves when unsealed. Only cost me $120 to set up with fittings.

I found those retractable units better for in shop application.

I don't use this often, and I only use one out of the kit but so bloody handy when I do use it. Cheap too! I had to install a new front axle seal over the weekend.

I also had to replace the hub seal as the bearings got a wash in diff oil. No tool large enough so I made my own. Worked a treat too. Haha!

Another great tool I have is my wash tub. Stinks, but it gets things nice and clean. Especially after the mess a badly leaking axle seal leaves....

I priced those up mate, not sure where you got yours from but a metal manual wind reel with no hose was over $100 (cheapest I found was about 130) and then I would have to add a 30m hose for an additional 70-80$. I know the retracta reel is better for workshops but I'm on an apprentice wage/budget. Yeah I have heaps of expensive tools in my picture but they were purchased when I was doing bulk hours and pulling in much more coin.
