This is a unique replacement part for my splitter. It was a machined die cast piece, unique to this model. It's been replaced by this version, which is simply a steel washer with holes drilled and a welded piece for the handle attachment. I understand mark-ups, and profit, but there can't be $2.00 of material in this replacement part. $28, plus $10 shipping. Ouch. But, I gotta have it. Rethink your pricing, please.
