We proudly present the MiniFix - a groundbreaking concept in the field of felling wedges.
As the world's first thrust cone wedge, the MiniFix offers a revolutionary method for safely felling trees.
The wedge pulls itself into the saw cut using the conical wedge and generates an impressive lifting force through an aluminum wedge that is pressed into the tree.
Compared to conventional conical wedges, the MiniFix generates significantly more lifting power with a simple and robust design. The MiniFix is perfect for daily use in combination with the ValFix or ValFast/MaxVal.
The combination of MiniFix and a spindle wedge offers particular advantages when working in the forest.
The MiniFix is ideal for felling trees with little backhang quickly and safely.
In addition, the lifting power of the Sindel wedge can be increased by using the MiniFix.
When repositioning the ValFix, the MiniFix serves as a base for the tree. Thanks to its special design, the MiniFix also pulls into closed saw joints to quickly and easily free a potentially jammed chainsaw.
The MiniFix is available with both a 10 mm and a 24 mm drive and can therefore be used in combination with ValFix and ValFast/MaxVal.
Experience the revolutionary performance of the MiniFix and discover the advantages of this innovative felling wedge technology that will simplify your daily work in the forest!
The EcoVal is a spindle wedge for private forest owners. Its robust, simple design makes it a valuable tool for harvesting wood. With the large wedge angle of 16 °, it achieves a sufficient lifting height even with thinner trees.
Height 55mm
Wedge angle: 16 °
Total length: 270mm
Wedge width: 60mm
Impact wrench: 500-1000Nm
Lifting force: 10t
User group: Semi-professionals in the field of thin and medium-thick wood
The ValFix is the newest, lightest, cheapest spindle wedge on the market and another real BaSt-Ing innovation. With a dead weight of less than 1.4kg and a lifting force of over 15t, it generates more than 1000g (!) Lifting force per 1g of dead weight.
A secret of the ValFix is that it works with a very flat wedge angle. Due to this small angle, it can be constructed particularly easily and still generate high lifting forces.
In order to still achieve practical lifting heights despite the small wedge angle, it has a completely new spindle construction. The ValFix spindle is partially integrated. This means that half of the spindle is protected in the felling wedge and only the second half of the spindle is exposed. A sufficient wedge stroke can thus be achieved with a long spindle travel.
Grease nipples on both threaded nuts ensure easy maintenance and sufficient lubrication even on long working days.
The advantages of the ValFix at a glance:
very short
No axial bearing required due to the principle
low weight of 1.4kg
easy relubrication using a grease nipple (no grease spray required)
no weld seam in the spindle
low wear
The ValFix may be operated with a maximum 700 Nm impact wrench.
Tip: With the right choice of impact wrench, it can also be used for the grinder as well as for the depth gauge grinder. e.g. Bosch GDX 18V-200.
ValFast – In a new design! The robust spindle wedge with which the strenuous and time-consuming wedging of trees is a thing of the past. Designed so that you can leave the ax or sledgehammer at home. Optimized for use with an impact wrench, but it can also be operated with a ratchet at any time.In the current version we have further developed ValFast in some details. An example is the drive spindle. From 2022, it will be machined from high-quality CrMo steel and will therefore permanently withstand even the strongest impact wrench. Furthermore, the bearing and design of the chisel tip has been revised.
The ValFast is therefore a sophisticated felling wedge for daily use in professional wood harvesting.

MaxVal - is the largest spindle wedge in the range and is specially designed for thick wood.
The design of the MaxVal focuses on maximum lifting power and simple construction.
The drive spindle is made of 32mm thick CrMo steel. The MaxVal is driven with a 24mm wrench size. The drive spindle is partially integrated in the MaxVal, which means that half of the spindle is protected in the wedge tip. The second, shorter half of the locker protrudes 140mm from the felling wedge.

With the set we offer you a completely new felling technology that is characterized by low weight, high performance and a robust construction.
A BaSt-Ing ValRemote receiver is integrated into the proven Milwaukee FMTI2WF. The machine can be controlled with the infrared hand transmitter (IR hand transmitter) and the finger button on the impact wrench. The radio is only activated if a BaSt-Ing felling wedge is connected. The set is very easy to transport with a total weight of 4.5kg (5AH battery), with 15t lifting power of the proven ValFix (10° Wedge angle) the set is also very powerful.
In addition to the ValFix, you can also use the EcoVal (16° wedge angle) on the radio impact wrench via radio. With thinner tree stands, the EcoVal shows its advantages thanks to the higher wedge angle.
Here are the facts about ValRemote - ValFix in summary:
- Very light case unit at 4.5kg
- By simply and quickly converting to a second ValFix, vibration-free repositioning is possible
- Conventional control of the impact wrench remains active
- Many different felling wedges can be used on one impact wrench.
- Infrared remote control of the impact wrench ensures high work safety.
- Receiver unit integrated in a robust aluminum housing
- Impact wrench can still be used in the workshop etc. (radio unit only works if a BaSt-Ing felling wedge is connected)
- Very robust construction of the connection unit.
The ValRemote opens up a new dimension in terms of safety, productivity and economy.
We integrate an infrared remote control for you in proven impact wrenches, which is only active when a felling wedge is attached.
The impact wrench can therefore be used for other work, such as planting trees using the DrillFast or in the workshop.
The advantage over competitive radio wedges is that you can use the expensive drive unit on any number of felling wedges. The machine can be used on the next felling wedge in just a few simple steps. This feature results in a great advantage in practice. Each felling wedge has a defined lifting height and if this is not sufficient to bring the tree down, the user has to support the tree normally and turn the radio wedge back on the trunk. With our concept, the machine can simply be detached from the felling wedge and attached to a second felling wedge. Thus, the user never works under the treetop while the trunk is moving.
We can integrate the ValRemote for both the ValFast impact wrench (Milwaukee - ONEFHIWF34, Makita TW001) or the impact wrench for ValFix and EcoVal (Milwaukee FMTIW2F12 or Makita DTW700).
With the lightweight impact wrench, the user has a very flexible solution that can be used for both thin and thick trunks.

ValLink - The clever connection between impact wrenches and the EcoVal.The spindle wedge is therefore a unit and can also be carried as such. Furthermore, the EcoVal can be easily controlled with the forest measuring tape, which means that when the tree is felled, you can take a few meters in the retreat and branches falling on the trunk no longer pose a danger.By loosening a linch pin and a tension spring, I can quickly release the felling wedge from the impact wrench. You can continue to use the machine for other purposes without restrictions.The ValLink is characterized by an innovative torsion support, which takes place via a special hydraulic hose with a ring eyelet. The use of a hydraulic hose for torque support offers the advantage of a robust construction with a light weight at the same time. In addition, a high-quality, rustproof spring ensures that the felling wedge remains tightly connected to the impact wrench over the entire spindle travel.With a low weight of only 450g, the connection is particularly light.Thanks to the tape measure control, you can safely fell trees from several meters away.You have the option of carrying the felling wedge together with the impact wrench as a practical unit through the entire stock.The impact wrench can easily be used with other felling wedges such as the MiniFix. The connection can be opened within a few seconds without the use of tools.Your impact wrench remains fully suitable for use in workshops and on construction sites.

The ValLink is screwed once on the impact wrench. By means of an
eccentric clamp, the impact wrench and ValFast can now be quickly
connected.
The spindle wedge is thus a unit, and can be worn as such.
Furthermore, the ValFast can easily be controlled with the forest
measuring tape, which means that when felling the tree you can take a
few meters backwater and thus no longer pose any danger to the trunk.
By loosening 2 screws, we remove the clamp connection and the impact wrench can still be used regularly.
