Does anyone remember (from about a gazillion years ago) the old wood
splitters that looked kinda like a large, stubby corkscrew. We would jack
up the rear end of a model T, take off a wheel, attach the splitter to the
hub over the lugnuts and then put the car in gear and let it run. A hunk of
wood would be slammed onto the turning screw and it would do a pretty good
job of splitting it.

Do they still make these things? Would they work on a modern automobile?
