Cheap by comparison to cheap, not so good, gloves from the likes of
Screwfix, Tool Station etc.


A coupon from Toolsatan for a free pair of gloves arrived the other
week, just as I was leaving to buy stuff from them anyway, I thought I
might as well try a pair, so I shoved them the coupon and asked for size XL

Sorry mate you'd have to buy those, you can only have size L for free,
can't get them on even at a pinch.

I have one of the big axes already but never used it. Gave it a 2 min
try just now and it worked a treat. Much better and easier than I had
anticipated. Now I know what I am doing this weekend. Thanks all.


Have fun but remember to count your toes before and after you do the
splitting
