Question 1

Which safety features are essential in a log splitter?

Accepted Answer

Safety is our top priority, so look for features such as two-handed operation, which prevents accidental activation, and a sturdy log cradle to keep the wood secure. Also, always wear proper safety gear like gloves and eye protection when operating any log splitter.

Question 2

What are the advantages of an electric log splitter over a gas model?

Accepted Answer

Electric log splitters are a great alternative to gas because they're quieter, produce zero emissions, and require less maintenance since there are no oil changes or spark plugs to worry about. They are ideal for homeowners who want a convenient, eco-friendly option for splitting firewood in their yard or garage.

Question 3

What does "tonnage" mean, and how much do I need for a log splitter?

Accepted Answer

Tonnage refers to the force the log splitter can exert. The higher the tonnage, the larger and tougher the logs it can split. For most homeowners splitting seasoned firewood, a 20-ton splitter is usually sufficient, but for larger, denser, or green logs, consider a 25-ton or higher model.
