Yes it is value for money - faster and certainly easier than an axe
I thought using an axe on the big blocks and on a stuck axe, then turning the blocks over and thumping the axe on its back to break the block was manly! Then I got RSI on my left arm after doing this on a ton of wood over a weekend - this forced me to look for a log splitter. After looking at many different types of log splitter I chose this one - well priced and conveniently sized, though expect it to be heavy - it is necessary for 8 ton of force. I like the two speed operation and a manual ring to set the return stroke length to speed up the reset operation. The low speed high power used to start splitting the wood is awesome and will even break through heavily knotted wood, in one instance a piece of heavily twisted wood pinged out under such great force being applied, noting that once the wood has split then it is easy to jump back to high speed to complete the log splitting.
I like the twin "V" blocks enabling the split start to take place at either end of the wooden block.
I do not use the elevated stand because I like being near the ground and my blocks of wood are large! On high speed low force, the splitter will automatically back out of a cut to protect itself.
It is at least 5 times fast than using the axe - and can split what I could only split with a chainsaw!
I still use an axe - but less often - I still need to retain some muscle in a work-out!
