So I rated good value but why only three stars? Well, we split a shed load of green walnut logs with it. All were within size specifications. I would say I’d you are a strong person it will be much quicker with a felling axe or maul. But this works so well for a smaller person or perhaps older person.
Also it likes nice round logs and a good square cut. Can struggle otherwise.
So we used it for several hours over three days and by the third day it was starting to fall apart. I figure that’s about two - three years of normal use / logs for our burner.
Am I upset with this - well, it should last longer but had it failed splitting a few logs each week for three or four years I’d probably be okay.
