Very happy, my 10 year old can safely split wood for me with this.

Tried maul, axes and short of spending a lot more for a mechanical splitter this is excellent. The video ad makes it look a little simpler than it is...obviously it depends on the wood and how green it is but this does work. Probably still need a bomb and mallet for the most stubborn logs which used together with the splitter covers nearly everything.

Simple but very effective and not much to go wrong. A very good idea that makes wood cutting safe and reliable. Seems to be very robust. perhaps it could have been more effective if the weight was a little heavier.

A great product which makes log splitting much easier, only slight negative is that the drill bit supplied makes just too big a hole as the whole thing moves a bit. Not a problem but a thought for the future.

I am very pleased with this tool, it is easy for me as a female senior citizen to use and very convenient to place inside my small porch so all is kept dry. The only drawback with setting it up was the finding of a big base log and getting someone to drill the hole, although this was fairly easy to sort out. I highly recommend it.

Did everything that we were told it would. The bonus is that my wife can use it as efficiently as i can . Would recommend it to anyone considering this sort of product.

Even my twelve year old is loving the wood chopping. so easy and quick. only small issue was with me not drilling the initial hole straight. Once that was sorted it has been great to use

Brilliant! Why did i struggle with an axe for so long?

Michael 28/11/2014 19:05:55

Just what i needed but you have to get a very large log to use as a chopping block from somewhere and if you dont live in the country.....

Really solid piece of kit and works absolutely perfectly. Allows you to chop logs into smaller pieces for a wood burner easily and quickly. Much safer and simpler than using an axe

Once I showed my grandson how to use it I had a job to get back on it. I cut the logs around eight inches long, and they were about 10" diameter. The tool worked well ,had no trouble at all in splitting them.

Brilliant bit of kit. Correct size of drill supplied with other parts so that the pole can be inserted into a tree trunk. splits wood very well, surprising how much force can be exerted by throwing the weight down. Some reviews mention that the nut loosens, i can confirm this happens but not a major issue - not resorted to lock-tite yet just using the spanner supplied to occasionally tighten.

Alan 12/07/2014 17:43:27

Excellent tool. Splits logs safely and accurately, so accurate you can cut really thin slivers for kindling. Big logs do take some effort throwing the weight down the shaft rather than dropping it. Locktite cure the locking nut problem. overall a brilliant piece of lit.

I was dubious that this device would work that well and certainly not as well as in the video (which i recommend you watch)and it didn't - quite. It splits most logs efficiently though needs a few blows per log and is more accurate than using an axe. It helps if you propel the weight down the pole but if you can lift the wight up, and i think even my 75 year old 4'9" mum could, and drop it, you can split logs up to about 9" across, with a few blows. if you can wield an axe, the smart splitter will not save you time but it will save effort and allow you to split logs pretty precisely. I use it along with using an axe, the smart splitter to initially split the whole round log and then using my axe. one nice surprise is that the smart splitter came with a drill to make the hole in the base log. i would advise putting a very small amount of oil on the metal shafts. someone else recommended using a crow bar to free up any logs with knots in that get jammed and i would second that. all in all, a remarkably effective log splitter for what it costs.

It does what it says in the advert. One for me and one for my son's christmas present, i know he will love it. delivery was magic as always, so quick and efficient. thank you

Richard 07/11/2013 09:15:41

Such a simple concept and yet so effective. i have split logs up to 12" in diameter and nearly 24" long with relative ease and certainly 80% easier than with an axe. great value for money even more so at the special rate offered by tooled up when i purchased the item. I would definitely recommend this item.

Vince 23/10/2013 07:08:48

It does the job, easy to install, easy to use. It take up minimal storage space.

John 26/06/2013 18:10:22

I bought one of these several years ago and it is very effective and has proven to be reliable. It is much better, quicker, easier and safer than using an axe or wedge and sledge hammer. Good safe exercise too - i have several damaged back disks but can operate this all day provided i stand upright with the core muscles taut. i bought another this christmas for my daughter and she and her partner have already used it a great deal and are delighted. You need to be careful chopping logs with twisted grain - such as where a large limb was joined to the trunk - because the wedge can get stuck. I've found a large wrecking bar readily free the kit up.

Works well on most logs. simple to configure & use. good performance for the price.

Alan 13/05/2013 11:23:43

Overall this has saved me a lot of work and it works very well. however the blade carrier did shear away from the shaft and the nylon bush split - but both replaced without quibble so all is well - i would recommend as it is a lot easier than a log grenade or axe.
