The log splitter has saved my husband tons of time and stress over getting the firewood split. I would recommend this to everyone who does their own firewood. Easy to use and easy on the body.
Bought my first one a few weeks ago.....so pleased with its operation that got a second one for my brother in-law. Love the fact it is manual operation (no need keep gas on hand or worry about proximity to electrical outlet) . Very easy to use. I"m 70 + and have no problems operating it.
Love it, the only thing that I have say is the plug is so hard to get out and put back, thought I would tear it taking it out and had to push the side of the plug in with a scew driver and then put a thick piece of wood on top and use a hammer to get it back in. Would like to get a few more plugs in chase I need to replace after taking it out to refill. I'm a 70 years old lady and I have split cherry oak and other kinds of hard wood with it and had no trouble doing so. can't say enough about how great it works for me.
I have (had) a moderate number of large logs in my yard from dead trees that had been take down. With this log splitter, I've been able to convert them into firewood. This product isn't for anyone who wants to split logs as fast as possible or doesn't want to put any physical effort into it. I'm in no hurry, and I don't mind a little upper body exercise (I'm 60). Over a few weekends in the last couple of months, I've been able to turn dozens of logs into firewood. I've split close to a face cord so far. Note, this log splitter will split logs MUCH larger than its 6.5 inch specifications would indicate. I'm including a picture of a typical sized log that I've split (about 16 inches in diameter. It takes several passes of splitting the log into smaller and smaller pieces, but I was able to split the log in this picture in less than 10 minutes into about 8 small pieces. A great product, I highly recommend it.
