Forest Master FM10D-7-TC Electric Log Splitter 7 Ton - DuoCut Blade - Log Length up to 450mm - Pre-Filled Ready for Use - Ramstop - CE/UKCA Workbench and Guard

This splitter is a beast. It can handle the hardest wood that we have. It doesn't like anything heavily knotted but you can work around that by repositioning the wood so it is working more on the side section of anything with a knotted core. We quickly decided to purchase the stand as without one a great deal of bending is required. Overall an excellent purchase.

Love it.Ummed and arred for ages about whether to go for the expense and so glad that I did.I don't use on the trolley as then you have to lift heavy logs / trunks up off the ground.4* for manoeuvrability - yes it has wheels at the back but it's still not the most easy thing to move about.5* for assembly althogh tbh, it comes assembled and I haven't bothered with the trolley, all you have to do is loosen the air valve and plug in to use.It's a great piece of equipment and for anyone pondering whether to go for the expense as I was......do it...you won't regret it.Might upload a video in the future of how easy it is to use....as long as i can get one without me being all smiley in while watching those logs split

What amazing tool. Very heavy so if the delivery driver won't hump it down - my Amazon driver did - superman! The machine is easy to use. Both hands are needed to operate the machine, so log must be secured between rams. I found that I ended up using an extra small log between the end ram to aid is splitting as it stops some 200mm at the end. It also pays to ensure that the wood cut is straight as those at an angle can cause the wood to rise up. You can control the ram by releasing the lever if the wood slips. All in all it's a fantastic machine and has saved me lots of time by not using an axe. Also can split logs that are 10" dia.

Ok

Definitely worth paying bit more for it is amazing how powerful this is hard wood what hard wood even knotted wood fantastic works round it all singing all dancing best purchase ever

Works well splitting logs of lots of sizes. You soon learn what to split and where to split them. I bought this without a stand splitting large trunks in half on the ground and then putting the splitter on a work bench to save my back bending (it is a two handed operation- pressing a button with one hand and operating a lever with the other) to split the pieces into manageable logs for the wood burner. The guide adjustment saves unnecessary travel and time. The guard is not easily fitted and doesn’t have to be used since Brexit but can save injury! Take care!!

A great addition to my log burner as it works very well and provides the logs the log burner eats up so quickly.It is quite heavy but can be moved around OK on its wheels. For very heavy large logs it is safer and easier to use at ground level but also benefits from a second helper to steady the log while being split taking a great deal of care to keep hands well clear of the splitter action parts. when using the splitter I would recommend wearing safety boots to protect feet and toes from falling logs, these can be cheaply purchased (from £15.00 upwards). I have purchased a stand now which will save a lot of bending down to operate the controls.

Purchased this for a friend who was using a power saw to cut logs which jammed and kicked back breaking his finger...Ouch. This log spliter is just great. It copes with everything splitting a seasons worth of logs in just a few hours. It saves so much time and stores upright. Very easy to use and is ready straight out of the box. It does what it says. Robust construction provides confidence in use. Always make sure you wear the correct safety equipment though. Two handed operation ensures safe operation. My friend can now split in 3 hours what used to take 4 days well worth the money. No problem in moving. Prompt delivery. Would strongly recommend.
