Vertical hydraulic wood splitter
What can I say...
Arrives needing basic assembly which is done by easy to follow instructions. My one complaint is that the only Allen key supplied is a small one for fitting the pressure release knob to the ram but there are 2 other sizes required. I have a comprehensive tool collection so this was not a problem to me but it could be for someone else. It would not cost the manufacturer much to put another 2 cheap Allen keys in the box. The only other tool I used was a small adjustable spanner.
I tried the log splitter with a large unseasoned log, which my axe just bounced off, and it split it without any problem. The pedals flop about on their linkages but I will add washers to firm them up.
This is not the easiest, as you physically have to pump the ram, or fastest way to split wood. If that’s what you want get an electric splitter. This splitter was chosen because of its log size capacity, it gives twice the force of an electric splitter and it’s considerably cheaper. It is so easy to use my partner and daughter can use it.
It’s brilliant! Now I have 10 ton of logs to split...
