| Log Splitters Direct Recommendation |
| By Log Splitters Direct |
This unit is built a little sturdier than our "Good" pick. The 3 HP electric motor pushes 7 tons, but the log size is the same. More force may not split bigger wood in this case, but it will do it faster.
The wheels and stand are heavier duty too; and all the hydraulics are tidily stowed inside the beam. This one doesn't have log supports, so keep your toes out of the way.
This unit also runs on a normal 3-prong outlet; you don't need any special wiring or plugs. |

| Good, but not great |
| By Phil (Dayton, OH) |
The splitter arrived in excellent condition. Packaging seemed to be more than adequate for any shipping abuse. The assembly instructions need to be updated though, because some of what you are instructed to do is already done.
But it's obvious whats left to do and how to do it, so I didn't have any issues.
The two lever design is an excellent safety feature. But, larger diameter and irregular logs will make splitting a two person job. One person to operate the levers and a second person to position the log and hold it in place on the bed.
I have been splitting two year old oak and soft maple with only two or three of the maple logs that it would not split. These were ones that had branches off the section I was splitting such that I could not position the log properly on the bed.
Also, since the piston travel is short of the wedge, sometimes it required a second log be placed on the bed to be able to completely split the first log. |

| Better for mesquite |
| By hector gutierrez (Mission, TX) |
| I am very happy with this splitter. It has the right amount of power for my mesquite wood splitting. Much better than the one I had before. It was a 5 ton though. |

| Works very well |
| By John Dobry (Noble, OK) |
I just got it in today. I don't remember if it said anywhere that assembly was required. But it's really no problem.
You will need a 3/8" wrench and 3/8" socket for the legs, control arms and shield; and a 5/8" wrench for the wheel assembly. You will probably need pliers to initially loosen the bleed screw, too- after that it's just finger tight.
90% of the logs I split were 12 to 16" in diameter. They were all oak and green.
A few were difficult because of knots, but turning them a little or flipping and trying again seemed to work. I split about a rick's worth in about 6 hours.
As someone said earlier the wheels are too close together, moving it is unstable.
All in all it performed real well. For home use this is the ticket. |

| More power than I thought |
| By Ed Knight (Placerville, CA) |
The splitter has more power then I thought, but there are two problems I don't like.
The hood over the power handles gets in the way, and the wheels are too close together; so when you move from place to place the machine starts to wobble and falls over to one side or another. |

| Great product. Plenty of power. |
| By Michael King (Beaver, UT) |
We have been in the market for a good log splitter for awhile now. We went to Home Depot but they only had underpowered electric or very pricey 20+ton gas models.
I really wanted an electric since this is a seasonal item and I don't want the hassle of storing a gas splitter. I found this 7-ton splitter and ordered it.
It was delivered much sooner than I expected and works great.
We have a bunch of left over 8 inch logs from building our cabin. I have been cutting them at 19-20 inches long and this splitter makes quick work of them.
It was so quiet and easy that my wife even came out and helped me.
I am anxious to see how it does on juniper and cottonwood, but so far it is great! |
