Q: What hydraulic fluid do you recommend for the 4 & 5 ton electric log splitters you sell by Michael F. from Ohio on January 02, 2015
A: Like just about all log splitters, whether they are gas or electric, use AW32 hydraulic fluid. It does not have to be a specific brand, but the AW32 is the viscosity you would want to use. by Dale, Product Expert

It's A Work Horse!
Wow...I'm so impressed. Never used log splitter before, I wish I had got one years ago... Easy to setup, safe to use, great product and price.

Dirty Hand 5 Ton Log Splitter
I don't like the fact that you have to hold in the power button at the same time you engage the lever. Too awkward. I sometimes need to maneuver the log as it moves toward the splitting wedge.
Pros:Reliable
Cons:Difficult To Use

Very Nice Log Splitter
This is a very nice log splitter for firewood about 9 or ten inches in diameter. It will split a nice pile of firewood in a couple of hours.
Pros:Price, Easy To Use, Easy To Store, I'd Buy It Again

Very Very Good - My Wife Operates It!
This is a GREAT unit for the price....One hand operation would be better (most people will convert it to one hand, but this bypasses the safety of a two hand operation).
Pros:Price, Easy To Use, Easy To Store, I'd Buy It Again
Cons:too low

Great Little Splitter
Received a cord of wood, ( 18"L rounds ). They were supposed to be no more than 10" diameter. Shortly after delivery it snowed 12" so I had a few weeks of thaw before I began stacking. To make a long story short, approximately 1/2 of the cord is closer to 12 to14" dia. They don't fit in my wood burner so I went online and bought my Dirty Hand Tools Splittter. Put it in the shop on a workbench, turned on the radio, turned on the heat, it works like a champ. FAST DELIVERY, GREAT PRICE!!
P.S. It works great making kindling wood also .

It is so fast. Very powerful and easy to use. We really like it . Husband had a heart attack, so he can not chop with an axe. It was a great buy. I did shop around for the price.
Pros:Price, Easy To Store, Quiet, Fast

After All The Research, This Is The One
I did as much due-diligence and research on electric log splitters as I possibly could. There are many brands out there from manufacturers I've never heard of so I had no bias or preconceived notions. The choices for electric log splitters is a narrower field than the gas powered models. After receiving the box I quickly assembled the wheels and was off to split some rounds. The instructions were easy to follow and I was ripping through my stack of seasoned Fir and Cedar in no time. I love it! Works as advertised. Good bang for the buck. I do think I'll build a platform to roll it up onto so the working height is easier than squatting down.

I ordered this splitter online. I was amazed that there was no tax and no delivery charges (especially since this weighs in at more than 100 lbs).
They called me the day after my order to verify that I in fact placed the order, which I thought was a common sense way of preventing fraud.
The splitter arrived 2-3 days later. I was stunned and prepared to wait a week or two as heavy equipment often requires shipping that is a real pain in the behind.
The splitter works great and I've used it with about a cord of wood. My only complaint is that the ram doesn't push up to the wedge, but I assume that's probably a safety feature. So for shorter logs, you may have to pull the pieces apart.
