Logmaster Foot Operated Heavy Duty Log Splitter, Manual Wood Cutter for Splitting & Cutting Timber (Green)

Product Information

Yes, you read it right. The Forest Master DUO10T can be used vertically as well as horizontally. You need to use its foot pedals while cutting the log vertically. Once you decide to use the machine horizontally, you can use its hand levers. The 9 Ton Vertical Logsplitter from Titan Pro is our choice for best priced petrol log splitter as it comes with a number of features that justify the price. Here’s a look at the performance before I get into any detail: If you need more than that you’ll need to go with the next model up which is the review below. However, for a log burner or open fire it’s pretty much bang on the money and why I’ve rated this the best log splitter in the UK for us householders. In terms of noise, I’d say that this log splitter is quieter than an axe. It was also quieter than many of the other splitters that I tested, making it ideal for people with neighbours in close proximity. Word of warning, given the way this is setup. You’ll find an 8-9 inch log minimum is best If you go shorter, the log may not push through the splitter deep enough to split the log as the stammer stops short. This is no problem at all if you have 8 inch and up logs. Just worth a mention if they are really short, in which case they probably don’t need much splitting anyway!

Commercial models can generate up to 40 tons of force. For commercial usage, you can try anything than 10 tons. However, it entirely depends upon what types of projects you generally handle.Forest Master have fitted their heavy duty log splitter with a powerful 2200 watt electric motor that is capable of 7 tonnes of splitting force. All in all, this is a log splitter that would suit just about everyone, and that’s not something that you can say about most other wood splitters! Whether you only occasionally split logs but want a tool to make that dreaded task easier (and even fun!), or you split logs regularly and are looking for a way to speed up the process, the Swedish Log Splitter would be a great investment. This model has the added features of guards covering your hands on the handles and the splitter returning to the starting position if the handles are released. The logs are also held in place by toothed grippers that are built in to the hand guards. Whether you need just a few logs each winter weekend or you have a forested smallholding to clear, there is a log splitter for you here. Splitting wood with an axe is very time consuming and most of us lead very busy lives these days and just don’t have those hours to spare but for small time use you could get away with one and some log spitting wedges. Types of Log Splitters

How well this log splitter works depends on how you’re using it, as well as what you’re using it on. Different hammers will give you different results. Something small, like the Faithfull FAIFG4 4lb Club Hammer, is all you need if you’re splitting small logs. However, if you’re working with medium or large logs, which this log splitter is capable of handling, then go with a bigger hammer. Keep in mind that, while this log splitter handled every diameter of log that I threw at it, it struggled with logs that were significantly taller than its own height (17.5cm). I also found its four-way claim to be false – in my experience, it splits wood into two instead. One of the top choices on our comparison table for manual log splitters, the AGMA Swedish log splitter, is an efficient, effective, and safe solution for splitting logs. Easy to set up and use, you can easily transform large logs into smaller kindling without having to pay the cost of larger electric hydraulic machines.However, the price of this log splitter lets it down slightly. For a splitter intended for kindling, it’s a little expensive – if it were larger and versatile enough to split logs too, then fair enough. That said, there are also several aspects to this wood splitter that justify its price. It doesn’t require as much force to be used as some of the cheaper kindling splitters out there. The fact that it’s made from cast iron adds value too – not only will it last for decades without needing much maintenance, but it also looks good – you won’t need to hide it away in your garage each time you’re done using it. I used it vertically, and splitting wise- it worked very, very well. However I had to hold it at the top to keep it stable, a small complaint. I know but something I feel could have been avoided. Then again, I guess you’re trading mobility for stability. This machine comes with a 175cm power cord. Some of you may find this to be a little short, but you can easily plug the machine into an extension cable to give you more flexibility. The twin ‘Duocut’ blade design optimises the performance of this manual log splitter by using two blades instead of one. The Duocut blade works with the Forest master’s stationary blade to comfortably split even knotted wood at a decent pace. And they have the edge over manual splitters too in my mind. The reason being, whilst I love a manual log splitter, there are days I just can’t be asked. And that’s fine if you’re the kind of bloke with storage shelters ranging from green logs 18 months old to the stuff well seasoned, but we don’t all have the time for that 🙂
