Tim - there is no 4-way wedge available for this Split Second log splitter. But the cycle time on this log splitter is so fast that you can actually make three splits on the same log in about the same time it would take you to make one split with a 4-way wedge on a traditional hydraulic log splitter.

Mark - Kinetic splitters are not rated in terms of tons like hydraulic splitters, but the Split Second splitter compares in strength to a 34-ton hydraulic log splitter.

Paul - Most log splitters out there are hydraulic, which means that they have an electric or gas engine used to power a hydraulic pump. The pump creates a pressured stream of oil to a valve, which pushes the splitting wedge through a log when engaged. Hydraulic splitters offer improved operation compared to splitting with an axe but can still be a tough, backbreaking job and are sometimes slow when going through stringy or gnarly logs.

A kinetic log splitter is engineered differently. Designed using kinetic technology and motion, it uses a massive flywheel to store energy from the gas engine. When you engage the handle, the ram bursts out, splitting the log in half, before it immediately retracts. Kinetic splitters are fast, efficient, and can power through some really tough logs.

Tom - the Split Second log splitter splits wood up to four times faster than a traditional hydraulic log splitter. The Split Second kinetic log splitter can split a cord of wood in just one hour. The time savings comes from it's unique twin 90 pound fly wheels and a steel rack and pinion gear that make for a 3 second cycle time per split.

Jeff - the Split Second log splitter is ideal for splitting twisted, tough, gnarly wood. The Split Second Log Splitter has been tested using hard beech, elm, sycamore, locust, and stringy black birch, just to name a few. The twin 90 lb. flywheels on the Split Second provide the force necessary to cut through the tough stuff.

Bill - the Split Second log splitter offers several "industry-first" features that improve operation with wood cutters in mind. The Split Second's height adjustment, retractable tongue, and ram and wedge design eliminate operator strain. Hands free operation with dual activation increases safety and helps reduce flyway wood. The industry's largest cutting table, and two 90 lb. flywheels, which place the Split Second splitter in a 34-ton class, make for greater productivity.

Dave - Your Split Second log splitter will ship to you on a single pallet. You'll need to do some minimal assembly. You'll to attach the work table to the frame; attach the retractable hitch and the front caster. Add gas and oil to the engine, and you'll be ready to start splitting right away.
