Nut splitter, any recommendations?

Lots advertised on ebay etc, but difficult to know which are the good ones.

I'd prefer the type which has an open side (not the type with a complete ring around the nut) but I suppose that would need to be even stronger. I don't mind paying to get good stuff

ive bought a few and the best one was the one screwfix sell.

have a look on screwfix.

linky dinky winky

if the products cr*p you just take it back and get a refund.

so i use them alot.

toolstation are their competitor so they sell simular stuff but i aint tried any nut splitters from them.

Save your money,yet to have success with anything borrowed from work,where there really is no expense spared.look one where the screw pushes effectively a mastercylinder,(someone will no what I mean)and applies more force,if you really want one,but all types have only ever put hours on a job trying and failing,before resorting to the butchery you would have started with if you didn't have one in your toolkit.just my experience.

I have a set like those ones linked above.
They are OK to have incase of emergency, but not really much good.
The hydraulic ones are better, but usually very expensive.
Whenever I tried to use mine I have found either a nice sharp cold chisel or a dremel and cutting disc work miles better.

Sharp chisel works for me
