Any Campbell Randall Splitter Owners?

[reddevil76]

I have a 6 inch heritage splitter but recently decided to splash out for an 8 inch keystone as I wanted a splitter which I could lock down the handle. Though the $130 shipping was a pain, I thought I rather buy quality.

To my horror I received the splitter today and found the below:

-There was surface rust on the roller and hold down bar.

- The roller was not polished (is it supposed to be? All other splitters have polished rollers).

- The paint was chipped off the frame in several places.

- Metal burrs from production was all over

- The gold paint used to paint the company name was smeared in several places along the rear of the blade

- The blade was not mounted properly, and as I don't have the right size spanner now, I can't straighten it and test the splitter. But the blade doesn't look polished, so I have doubts on its sharpness. There are also alot of rough scratches further up the bevel.

It looks like a china knock off even though I bought it direct from Campbell. Even my Heritage which cost half of it was better made. The burrs was really a sign of "can't be bothered".

Did you receive yours in this condition?
