this thing is an animal! I split a 16" log and got 8 pieces out of it. the only things i would change are, a step plate behind the hydraulic end, wider legs for less wobble and a wider cradle. other than that, perfect!
Works as stated. It is fine for lengths of logs stated but if you are splitting logs 1/2 the size you will need boards or something to stick between the log and the ram due to the short stroke. One thing that I found is, the left handle is for longer strokes and the right handle is for shorter strokes. Other than that, I am happy with it and works great.
Product works as advertised. Split some very knotty, big maple pieces. Have a few issues. Instructions on oil adding procedure not very good in the instruction manual. Wasted oil trying to pour down the small filler hole. The rubber oil plug needs to be upgraded to a larger metal plug that screws in.
Very impressed with this log splitter. Splits logs perfectly with little effort. Love the fact that it requires no cords or gas. The only issue is if the logs are too long it won’t fit in the base. Other than that, this is a well designed product that does the job with ease.
