DEWALT - Log Splitters - The Home Depot

Question 1

What kind of maintenance does a log splitter need?

Accepted Answer

Maintaining your log splitter is easy but remember to keep it in good condition to extend its lifespan and avoid breakdowns. Regular maintenance includes checking fluid levels (for hydraulic models), lubricating moving parts, and inspecting for damage before each use. Keeping the machine clean is essential for optimal performance.

Question 2

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 3

Which DEWALT log splitters are the best selling?

Accepted Answer

The 32 Ton 277cc 9.5HP Kohler Engine Horizontal/Vertical Full Beam Hydraulic Log Splitter, Auto Return/Integrated Log Cradle is one of our best-selling DEWALT log splitters.

Question 4

What's the difference between a log splitter with a 13-second cycle time versus a 16-second cycle time? Which is better?

Accepted Answer

A log splitter with a 13-sec. cycle time is faster than one with a 16-sec. cycle time, meaning it will complete the splitting process more quickly. While faster is often preferred for higher volume, consider balancing speed with other factors like splitting force and log capacity – a slightly slower cycle time might be worth splitting tougher or larger logs more efficiently.

Question 5

I have a lot of large, tough logs to split. What should I look for in a log splitter?

Accepted Answer

If you're dealing with tough logs regularly, a gas-powered log splitter with a higher tonnage rating (25 tons or more) will provide the necessary power and force to make the job easier. Look for features like a powerful engine, durable construction, and a fast cycle time to increase your productivity.
