Verified Purchase:Yes
I order 8 cords of split wood every winter - but many of the logs delivered and still too big for our wood stove insert. Since I purchased this product, I can easily reduce the larger pieces down to manageable sizes. Its super easy to use and I like to think I am also adding some arm exercises to my workout regimen. Great product!
VERY WELL DESIGNED UNIT ! VERY POWERFUL AND HANDY LOG SPLITTER! ONLY PROBLEM WAS PLUG ON CYLINDER AS OPPOSED TO PLUG ON RESERVOIR! ALSO NEED SPACER FOR SMALLER LOGS AND A LOCATION FOR HANDLES TO STORE ON UNIT.... NOW TIED WITh A BUNGGY CORD ON STANDING UNIT!
Product works just as they say. Since getting older I couldn't split wood as before. Now I'm splitting pieces I used to give up on and throw away. Must have as far as I'm concerned. Thumbs up!

Splits very hard wood, like aged oak and green sycamore. It takes time and effort (a good workout) but the logs eventually split. The piston gasket on mine failed after a few months and the company was unable to supply the part. They wanted me to send the whole thing back for a replacement but that was too much trouble (it weighs a ton). I was able to clean and reset the gasket and it is still working.
I tried out 3 logs sized per the specs and it started out ok but as the pressure became greater one of the pistons was easy to push and the other would barely budge.
