This may not be quite the place for this question, but I'm looking for a source of feathers and plug (wedge, iron) used for splitting rocks and concrete. Used ones would be fine but I need them for 12" depth holes. Any suggestions?

You can also take a page from how earlier cultures split stone. Insert extremely dry wood, tight fit in hole, pour in water and let the expanding wood split the stone.

contact a stone mason in the yellow pages and ask them

Trow and Holden has the 3/4" feathers and wedges at $5 a set. Lee Valley's is more than three times as much. T&W also has the long sets
- then it's just a question if the OP can drill large enough holes.

You are correct, and you are correct, and your question is valid. 3x is a significant mark-up for a company generally known for being reasonably priced.

Lee Valley, Feathers and Irons, not sure about the depth though

Its all a question of supply and demand. LV may have them but how many could they possible sell in a year? The faster moving stuff seems to be priced properly.
