Troubleshooting
Splitter blade won't cut through the nut.
Ensure the correct size splitter is used. Apply penetrating oil to the nut and allow time to soak. Tighten the splitter firmly and evenly.
Splitter is slipping.
Make sure the splitter is securely placed and properly aligned. Try using a wrench to provide extra leverage.
Splitter gets stuck on the nut.
Loosen the splitter slightly and re-position. Check for any obstructions or damage to the nut that may be hindering the process.
