About this deal

If you have numerous big rounds that need to be split into logs, the best splitter will be a hydraulic machine– you’ll save yourself a lot of time and energy. On the other hand, if you’re splitting logs on a smaller scale, or just want to make some kindling, a manual wood splitter will get the job done cheaply. You simply lift the weight and sling it down. With both hands firmly on the weight. Personally I would wear gloves in case you slip or run your hand into the base as you throw the weight with an over follow through. Here’s a look at that with credit to Forest Master as this is a snap from their video that simplifies the process:

Performance: I evaluated each log splitter’s ability to handle different log sizes and types of wood. I measured the splitting force, cycle time, and overall efficiency of breaking logs into smaller pieces. Those that could only handle small pieces of wood around 15 cm tall were marked down, as this reduced the versatility of the tool. A cycle time of less than 10 seconds was optimal for efficient log splitting, so any hydraulic log splitter with this cycle time was rated higher. And 2200 watts translate into five tons of power, whereas other electric log splitters achieve just four tons of power. The stationary blade is also adjustable and you can set it to start splitting immediately rather than waiting for the weight to drop like the Swedish Slitter we just reviewed. Short, seasoned logs, with a smaller diameter, require a smaller and, therefore, more compact log splitter.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. Not for hard or seasoned wood according to the official description, though some users claim they’ve used it for these types of wood too, including knotty logs When it comes to price, this log splitter does cost slightly more than an axe, but it’s cheaper than the other kindling splitter I tested. While you are slightly limited when it comes to the size of wood you can split, it does make life so much easier (and less painful) if you use a lot of kindling. This isn’t a tool that you’re only going to use for a short while – it’s sturdy enough to last for years, and its blade can easily be sharpened at home once it starts to blunt. The dropping ‘hammer and wedge’ splitting action is a great idea and is much safer than using an axe.

Choose a log splitter that’s manufactured from sturdy materials and with good craftsmanship. Splitters that are manufactured from metal, like aluminium or steel, are better than plastic log splitters because they last longer, and they can cut through tougher wood. Long, green logs, with a big diameter, require a bigger and, therefore, more stable, sturdy, and powerful log splitter. So, does this log splitter really require minimal force? Compared to the other manual splitters for kindling that I tested, with the exception of the Swedish Log Splitter, I would say yes, this one is the easiest to use. You don’t need to be particularly strong to use this tool, and you don’t need to own a hammer either – just place your wood into the ring and hit it with anything slightly weighty that you have to hand, even if this is just another piece of wood.The Forest Master is safe because it comes with a safety guard and workbench. You also need to operate it with both hands, which adds more stability and balance to the mix.
