Question 1

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 2

What does the "maximum log diameter" mean on a log splitter, and how does it affect which one I should choose?

Accepted Answer

The max log diameter indicates the largest log (in inches) that the splitter is designed to handle effectively. To ensure efficient splitting and prevent damage, choose a log splitter where the max log diameter is equal to or slightly larger than the logs you typically split.

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.

Question 4

How do I choose the right cycle time for my needs?

Accepted Answer

Consider the type and amount of wood you typically split. For smaller, softer wood and occasional use, a longer cycle time like 19-sec. or 20-sec. may be sufficient. For larger, denser wood or frequent use, investing in a faster cycle time like 10.9-sec.-13-sec. will save you significant time and effort in the long run. Also, compare user reviews to see what other customers say about the speed and efficiency of different models.
