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.
We absolutely love this splitter! It works great, is easy and was a very reasonable price. Our only problem is that now we fight over who gets to do the daily wood splitting!
I've used my splitter a couple times and it works just as it's designed to work. It split some wood that I wasn't able to with my splitting maul. It saved me a lot of time and effort getting some bigger pieces split.
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.
Easy to use, compact and although it heavy it is easy to move around and store. I Highly recommend it. I needed a replacement part and was very happy to find out they stand behind their products. Had the part in 2 days and it was free!
it works pretty good, Make sure the butt end of your log is cut off flush or the ram try's to move one way or the other this tends to bend the strap that guides the ram, The strap is weak but works just make sure the log is cut off flush I cannot stress this enough.
