Question 3

How much splitting force (tons) do I need for my log splitter?

Accepted Answer

The right splitting force depends on the type and size of wood you typically split. For smaller, softer wood (like pine or fir under 12 inches in diameter), a 5-ton to 10-ton splitter might suffice, but for larger, tougher hardwoods like oak or maple (over 12 inches), consider a more powerful 20-ton or even a 30-ton model to ensure efficient and reliable splitting.

Question 4

What are the main types of log splitters, and which one is best for my needs?

Accepted Answer

We offer three main types: gas, electric, and manual log splitters. Gas log splitters are ideal for heavy-duty use and splitting large volumes of wood away from power outlets. Electric log splitters are quieter, require less maintenance, and are perfect for smaller jobs near a power source. Manual log splitters are the most portable and affordable for occasional use on smaller logs.

Question 5

How is a log splitter easier than an axe?

Accepted Answer

Log splitters use powerful hydraulic or kinetic force to split logs quickly and safely, significantly reducing physical strain and time compared to using an axe. This means you can process more firewood with less effort and less risk of injury.
