This log spitter is very useful however do not over load it or force it to split logs this will damage the pistons
if it appears to be struggling put the log on one side and allow to season longer before trying again overall this is a good product and a great aid to splitting logs.

I find the splitter very effective for splitting logs which are too tough for the axe and maul to handle. It is amazing to see a big log which has resisted the axe -- just split with a groan under the relentless pressure exerted by the splitter. I find it easy to use except for really hard logs which require more exertion from me (i weigh in at under 56 kg).
my only reservation is that i have seen a small bubble of what i think is oil at a point where the hydraulic cylinder meets with the part of the splitter which presses against the log being split.
since then i have used it for difficult but softer heavy logs with no difficulty. I have avoided trying it on logs of hard ash,in case the bubble becomes a burst cylinder and renders the whole lot useless. Noel lane, meath, ireland
