Description
Some splitters have an adjustable table that accommodates logs of every size, which is good if you have mixed log sizes. Splitting wood with an axe is very time consuming and most of us lead very busy lives these days and just don’t have those hours to spare but for small time use you could get away with one and some log spitting wedges. Types of Log Splitters Besides, the two blades put pressure on the log from two separate sides, which means the log breaks faster. If you need to split large pieces of hard, wet, and knotty wood, then, while many manual wood splitters could handle this without a problem, life would be much easier with a hydraulic or kinetic model. If you have a wood-burning stove, a pizza oven, or anything else that requires wood to run, then may only be a matter of time before you decide to trade in your trusty log splitting axe for a more efficient way to split wood.
you’ll note I mention the half metre log chop space, that’s no sales scam, this thing will take on decent half meter length logs – the 3kW motor helping that. The smaller 5 ton only have 2.2kW so this is a good 30% more powerful. How well this log splitter works depends on how you’re using it, as well as what you’re using it on. Different hammers will give you different results. Something small, like the Faithfull FAIFG4 4lb Club Hammer, is all you need if you’re splitting small logs. However, if you’re working with medium or large logs, which this log splitter is capable of handling, then go with a bigger hammer. Keep in mind that, while this log splitter handled every diameter of log that I threw at it, it struggled with logs that were significantly taller than its own height (17.5cm). I also found its four-way claim to be false – in my experience, it splits wood into two instead. Take a look at our fuelwood burning guide to explore the different varieties of soft & hardwood, including density properties that indicate how hard a wood is to split. You can also learn about how efficient each wood is for burning and keeping your home warm through the winter months. And 2200 watts translate into five tons of power, whereas other electric log splitters achieve just four tons of power.The motor is 2200 watts, just like the two other Forest Master models above. And just like we explained above, 2200 watts is almost 50% more power than the industry standard. Short, seasoned logs, with a smaller diameter, require a smaller and, therefore, more compact log splitter. I was pretty happy with how this log splitter performed. It only really works with already-split logs that are about 6-8 inches in diameter, but performs beautifully on all types of wood, both wet and dry. I did try it on some larger rounds but wasn’t able to split them – the blade just wasn’t big enough. However, this tool isn’t really designed for that anyway – its blade is just the right size to produce kindling that’ll get your fire roaring. For domestic jobs, hydraulic electric log splitters are generally sufficiently powerful and practical to use.
A friend of mine I know has a bit of grief with the bleed valve – he’s hammered his silly though for both workshop and home, runs everything off logs and offcuts from his carpentry op. And by some miracle I happened to find this chap with the same problem:If you want a heavy-duty log splitter, the Forest Master is probably the best in the 5-ton category because: Besides, this product comes with CE approval because it’s weather-resistant to IP54. This rating means your log splitter resists dust ingress and splashing water from any sides so that you can operate it even during light rain.
