Answer This Question

a little over 3ft (37 in).

By|Sep 1, 2022

    Overall about 3feet. Will only take an 18 to 24 inch small log. Suitable for kindling. Will not split anything much above 3-4 inches in diameter.

        I just read the Sun Joe manual and see this crazy storage instruction repeated twice: it says you must store the splitter at between 77 and 131 degrees Fahrenheit. That can't be right. I spoke to customer service at Sun Joe and they quoted that same instruction and said that is what the manual says. I have looked up similar 5 ton electric splitters and see either no mention of storage temperature (RYOBI) or a more reasonable range of between -10 degrees and +130 degrees (Earthquake). Do I need to worry about this?

            What would be the best extension cord to use with the SunJoe splitter? I have a 100 ft. that I use with my SunJoe lawnmower, can I use that same extension cord with this splitter?

            Answer This Question

            I would think at least 12 gauge but 100 feet is a bit long. It may work.

            By|Mar 14, 2020

              12 gauge at a minimum - especially for 100 feet

              By|Mar 14, 2020

                Due to the demanding drawl of 15 amperage at peak operation of this unit It would be wise to go with a lower gauge cord In order to ensure optimal performance if this unit is even capable of it. I’m using a 100 foot 10 gauge cord.

                  Dear Mark, The recommended extension cord to be use with the Sun Joe 15 Amp 5 Ton Electric Log Splitter with Hydraulic Ram is either a 50 foot 14 gauge or 100 foot 12 gauge. Hope this helps, if you have any other questions please let us know. Thanks Customer Service Team Snow Joe + Sun Joe

                          Can you adjust the ram for a short log to shorten the cycle?

                              No real reason for an adjustment since you place the log up against the Ram.

                                        I have been putting aside firewood too large for my fireplace for years. This splitter allowed me to split them down into sizes that are usable. I had some split logs that I was able to split into 3-4 smaller pieces. The only unusable ones I have left are ones with large knots that cannot be split. This is very easy to use. Many of my logs split immediately and the 2 pieces went flying to the side. So be sure to have lots of clearance.

                                        saved me for the winter. i just loved the hick out of it. easy, convenient, and did the job. one problem: you need to get a foot-switch to control the off/on switch so you can hold the logs down on the rail.

                                        This is a GREAT log splitter and it would have received 5 Stars but the cheap, plastic wheels are not up to the task of supporting a 100 pound machine. They break during shipping - a very frequent occurrence from seeing other reviews. BUT THERE IS AN EASY WAY TO BYPASS THIS PROBLEM. Do not ship to your home! Instead, order on-line and have it sent for your pickup at the store. Insist on opening the box at the store to assure yourself it is not damaged before you accept it. Chances are, the wheels will be broken from someone dropping it during shipping and you don't want to spend your time dealing with the shipper, Home Depot or Sun Joe. You will have to assess if the damage is slight (cosmetic) or broken wheels, etc. Fortunately, Home Depot also sells a wheel (slightly larger so both wheels will have to be replaced) that will fit on the Sun Joe - Home Depot part number 460-435. Maybe they will make you a deal on them and the problem is resolved. You will have to cut often the portion of the wheel where the axle goes through by about 1/8th inch to allow the new wheel to fasten in place as the axle is about 1/8" short for the replacement wheel. Easy to do. Also, be sure to open the hydraulic release valve - a screw - before using. They should flag that screw but they don't. Otherwise, this is a great splitter for the home owner. We just put ours on a rolling cart so we can work standing up. Would I buy it again? Absolutely!

                                          I would not recommend this product. The first one had a broken frame and the second one had an issue with the motor, would not spin, motor extremely tight. When asking for a refund they were only going to give me a credit. After refusing they finally gave me a full credit. There is a question if there is any quality control.

                                            Snowjoe makes a very inferior product. The first one was replaced by a new one but it took most of the snow season to replace it. The replacement only lasted 2 small snow events and it quit. Now l have been most of the snow season waiting a replacement.
