There’s been a couple of complaints of the splitting edge not being sharp and the frame folding. I have to say this must be a manufacture dud because this thing handles six inch logs normally with ease. Overall it’s a great little unit for the home. Pros: Adjusting the height for the log splitter is as simple as lifting it onto the log – image credit: Forest Master Blade: The blade doesn’t have to be razor-sharp to be effective because the applied force splits the wood grain quite easily. More advanced blades are contoured to split the log into numerous pieces of kindling with one blow. Most blades are cast as part of the structure. We have also seen removable blades made from a mixture of steel and titanium. These are very hard and take a good edge, which helps if you have particularly dense wood to split. Normally, that’s not an issue, and the fixed-blade type is more than adequate.

When used correctly, your new investment can transform hours of yard work into a matter of minutes. Of course, to get the right results, you need to know what to look for. Unlike a conventional log splitter this one has the distinct advantage of changing height effortlessly. You simply lift the ram as you can see in the picture below: Right out the box it requires minimal assembly which also lends itself to folding away too. Well designed on the space saving front it’s pretty compact too. I would say though, this is by far a heavier, more robust option so you can look at it two ways. Either heavy to lug about and setup or excellent structural bulled quality. Are you a glass half full or half empty type? 😀 f. Lots not forward will be charged at 75% commission based on the reserve price or Auctioneer’s estimate. Using this wood splitter is simple. You place your wood through the ring at the top, and then hold it steady while you tap it a couple of times with something weighty. This embeds it into the wedge. Then, hit it with a bit more strength a few times to push it down the wedge, and, as it moves down, it will split into smaller pieces of kindling.

A. A basic cast iron model will last for years with very little attention. You can clean it with a stiff brush and warm soapy water and remove stubborn deposits with mineral spirits. An occasional wipe with a light oil will help prevent rust, and if you like the decorative appearance, you might want to give it a coat of paint every couple of years.

Tractors and machinery are not to be driven around the Auction Centre, other than for the purpose of loading or unloading. The blade isn’t as sharp as the blades on some of the other wood splitters that I tested, but, according to the company, this is an intended feature – due to how the wood splitter is designed, a sharp and potentially dangerous blade isn’t needed.

This retrofit kindling attachment takes just seconds to install, as you slip it over the existing splitting head on your machine! This allows you to make four sections of soft wood kindle (Not Hardwoods) in one push of the ram (up to a maximum log size of 150mm.) Sometimes, the best log splitters are the ones that can accomplish the most work in the shortest amount of time. If you’re looking for a powerful ten 10 log splitter, the Forest Master electric log splitter could be ideal for you. Like most of the log splitters from Forest Master, this product can also split logs faster than competitors thanks to a dual “Duocut” twin-blade design, which works to split wood from both sides at the same time. I’ll admit it, I’m not the best at explaining how things work so I’m adding a video to this section so you can get a better understanding. Anyway, these manual splitters are great for several reasons. One, you don’t have to swing a sharp edge so it’s relatively safe. Two, it doesn’t require gas or electric so you can use it wherever, whenever. And three, there are very few moving parts so the chances of having a slide-hammer log splitter break on you are slim.Hammer Price” Means the level of bidding reached (at or above any reserve) when the auctioneer brings the bidding to a close;
