Wood splitter did what it said on the tin and did it very well. Worst bit was finding a large enough log or block of wood to mount the splitter on. Amazing results much easier and effective than using an axe or wedge and hammer although it still required manual effort.

To work best the splitter needs a good solid piece of tree trunk to be fixed into. if you do that it works very well, splitting logs with just one or two strikes of the weight. it even works well with logs that have knots in them. It is better that i was expecting.

Excellent device, exactly as described in the catalogue. Delivered overnight. Absolutely delighted with all aspects.

I bought this for my bosses and they seem really happy with it. i did get to use it and it works really well and splits logs with one or two hits. noticed the slide needs some oil now ,but nothing to go wrong,it should last for years and it does a great job.

Nice easy to operate tool the thick pole that is sunk in to stump as started to wear at the point where the washers sit

I looked at this log splitter and could not believe it could work. I checked it out on all sites i could and watched videos of it in action. Finally i ordered it. Delivery was quick and when it was promised. Unwrapped and set up splitter, instructions good and not much to do, all tools supplied even 20mm wood drill. Finding a large flat bottomed log to mount it on was the most difficult. But when i tried it it worked, and again and again. Yes it needs you to expend energy throwing the weight down onto the cutter and log but it works, tried on pine, laurel, ivy and birch, wet or dry logs!!

Taking the log splitter from the box, i was impressed by the weight & the build quality of the item. As long as you have a good base to fit the pole into, putting the splitter together is easy. I was impressed right from the start, splitting logs took much less effort than swinging an axe - & much safer! The tool is capable of splitting very large sections & does all the work i had hoped for. Do yourself a favour, put away that axe & get one of these.

Got the splitter today. came with drill bit and spanner only needed a drill and the log to set it in. so basic to fit only the first two holes were not vertical, (human error) splits dry logs just great, remember to lift the weight the full height and "throw it down"

Most difficult thing about siting and using this device is finding, positioning and preparing a suitable height & size log or base in which to insert the device. Should have thought about that before felling all the trees so low to the ground as a conveniently sited tree stump on which to work would have been much more stable and easy to use. However once set up and assembled it is simplicity to use and gets maximum amount of logs split with the minimum amount of effort in the available time. Much easier in many respects than using a hydraulic log-splitter or a maul.

Once i managed to acquire the necessary chopping block it works well

Scott 02/10/2012 13:16:10

This is good for splitting small dry logs. if the wood is not fully seasoned the blade stick.

This is a well designed and built device. It works both for logs and kindling. It is particularly useful for me as i have extensive arthritis.

The smart splitter is an excellent tool for the job,proving that the simplest designs are very often the best.

I bought the smart splitter when a hand problem meant i could no longer use an axe (temporarily) but my wife (who is 5 foot 1 inch tall and slim) has now taken to using it and has more fun with it than i do - and she has split some big logs with it! highly recommended, and much safer than an axe.

Steve 18/04/2012 11:22:47

Provided you get a firm wide heavy base to support the rod it works very well, although usually takes a few drops of the weight for larger logs. I used a cut down railway sleeper for the base. the logs need to be cut with a fairly square base to make sure they sit upright.

An excellent piece of kit that comes with everything you need to set it up - apart from a large flat block of wood to mount it on. I bought it to chop up some large logs from several trees i had cut down so if you are doing the same have the tree surgeon leave a suitable sized lump or two (for the future). Very effective in use, easy to set up and works brilliantly. All the family had a go after a weekend lunch and we had great fun! Much more effective than an axe and wedges. I recommended it to a friend who cuts a massive amount of wood and he found it equally as good - and much more neighbour-friendly as it is quicker and quieter than alternatives.

We bought this to allow splitting of quantities of timber for home use. delivered promptly, evertything included for rapid assembly with clear instructions. Had assembled and ready for use in 20 minutes including gathering block, drill and extension lead. it performs absolutely superbly! Dont know if i would want to use it all day on a full time application, getting a little too old for all the bending down to collect split logs! very simple, very well made and comprehensively supplied, excellent for splitting logs!!!

Truly excellent product a pleasure to use. Made with top quality materials. Highly recommended and good value. I only gave it 4 stars for value because i see that it is now £10 less than i paid for it!

Wish i had known about the smart splitter before buying a splitting axe, as i would have saved money, time, miss hits & slices. I have been using the smart splitter every week since first getting it last september, what used to take me all day to split, now takes a couple of hours using the smart splitter. Excellent piece of kit.

John 29/03/2012 18:18:40

A truly excellent tool which does exactly as advertised. service and delivery were excellent
