Product Information

This Forest Master log splitter weighs just 32 kg and has compact dimensions so you can move it around easily. You don’t need a lot of room in your garage either for storing it, and you can stash it in your trunk to lend it to a friend without any issues. Like most electric and petrol log splitters these days, it has built in safety features such as requiring you to have both hands on the controls and out of the way of the moving parts or the machine won’t work.

Also don’t forget moving the thing about. A decent log splitter often comes on wheels making them easy to shove about the shed or workshop. So let’s just run through the most important things. What can I actually split with each type of splitterThe 2200 watt motor produces the equivalent of 5 tons of force, which works well on medium-length logs. The logs you can split with it have to be soft or green wood, with a maximum length of 30 cm and a maximum diameter of 25 cm. If you need to break wood for your oven, and you have 20-cm seasoned logs from softwood, you can get away with a 4-5-ton machine or even a manual splitter. Easy Operation Compared to the manual log splitters that I tested, this one is obviously a lot louder, to the point where Forest Master recommends wearing ear protection when using it. However, considering it has a 2200W motor, I didn’t find it to be particularly loud, although any nearby neighbours may disagree! To determine the best log splitters, I conducted a comprehensive evaluation, assessing each model on its assembly, design, performance, ease of use, safety, and value for money. These categories were chosen to provide you with a well-rounded understanding of each log splitter’s capabilities. Here’s how I tested each element:

While there weren’t any stand-out safety features incorporated into this log splitter, its simplicity means that these aren’t really needed. Keep your hands away from the log and follow the safety tips in the instruction manual and you should be just fine! I wouldn’t say that ear protection was necessary either; this log splitter is a little quieter than an axe, so it’s not particularly noisy.The adjustable height stopper for the ram is a game changer. You won’t waste time if you’ve got shorter logs to cut. And 2200 watts translate into five tons of power, whereas other electric log splitters achieve just four tons of power. This electric log splitter isn’t overly complicated in any way. There’s only one button to press and one lever to push – it can easily be used by one person, although it does require both hands to operate. 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. Some splitters have an adjustable table that accommodates logs of every size, which is good if you have mixed log sizes.

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. 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. The most important factor that you need to consider when looking for the best log splitter is the type of wood that you want to split.All you have to do is tighten a few bolts and make sure the log splitter stays in the right position. It is also in the heavy-duty category, with a 7-ton splitting power that allows it to take care of logs with a maximum length of 430 mm and a maximum diameter of 400 mm. One thing I will say is that you have to read the instructions carefully as misuse can bend the cradle that holds the logs in place. I feel this could have been avoided by the manufacturers with a few adjustments.

This log splitter can help you split lots of wood for a grill or the oven. Although it takes longer than an axe and it can’t perform well with knotty or tough wood, the AGMA Swedish log splitter is effective for the right type of logs. This heavy-duty log splitter can cut through almost any log length in no time with a phenomenal ten tons of cutting power. You can adjust the performance and splitting force to save energy when necessary. There’s also a powerful Duocut heavy duty blade to help split the log at both ends, allowing for faster results. You’ll never want to return to manual splitting after trying an electric hydraulic splitter like this. Besides, the two blades put pressure on the log from two separate sides, which means the log breaks faster. Not only does that cast iron ring make this log splitter so easy to use, but it also plays a key role in safety too. It enables you to keep your hands well away from the blade, preventing accidents. The blade itself isn’t very sharp either – this log splitter has been designed in a way that enables it to be effectively used with a blade that isn’t dangerously sharp. Thanks to its sturdy construction, good design, and high-power engine, the Forest Master can split logs up to 370 mm in length. The maximum log diameter allowed is 250mm, meaning you can split pretty chunky pieces of wood.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. 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. It’s a very simple device that works very well in most cases and only really has problems splitting knotted logs. The splitting action of the device is a bit slow and time consuming but it certainly will split much more when compared to the Logmaster foot operated manual log splitter. As mentioned, this machine can be used either vertically via a foot pump, or horizontally through the use of hand operated levers.
