Hi Steve,
I like the idea of a socket - multiple splitting wedges/ interchangeability.
I just can't see 10 tons ripping the wedge off the top face of the 'I' beam (famous last words) and my crap welding of course.
Now in your case Steve you mounted the cylinder's centre line 6" - 8" above the top face of the beam, mine will only be 1.5" above the face of the beam.
That makes quite a bit of difference.
Someone said - give me a large enough lever and I'll move the world.
