Very effective splitter
Very impressed so far. Ordered Monday arrived before lunch Tuesday, assembled Tuesday pm and split a ton or more of logs on Wednesday.Seems a very solid piece of kit, slightly tricky to assemble single handed but only due to weight of some components. Coped with everything I put through it so far including 15" diameter beech trunk/ branch junction that I never could have split with an axe (took a bit of fiddling to get through it but split everything else like butter) Only slight criticism is that the 'claws' that grip the log do not provide grip on anything under about 5" diameter, but can probably solve this with some spacers. On performance so far would certainly recommend this.

Exceeds all my expectations. Well constructed and very substantial. Best feature by far is the free delivery as living offshore usually makes deliveries very expensive
