Product Information

Besides, the two blades put pressure on the log from two separate sides, which means the log breaks faster.

Minimal effort tends to be needed for hydraulic log splitters – like our top recommendation the Forest Master FM5. That said, there are some manual log splitters out there with designs that enable you to easily split logs, no matter your physical ability, without the use of a hammer. 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 splitting axe boasts a sharp blade, manufactured from hardened steel, and painted with a durable layer of coating. These characteristics turn the Fiskars splitting axe into a strong instrument. I was pretty happy with how this log splitter performed. It only really works with already-split logs that are about 6-8 inches in diameter, but performs beautifully on all types of wood, both wet and dry. I did try it on some larger rounds but wasn’t able to split them – the blade just wasn’t big enough. However, this tool isn’t really designed for that anyway – its blade is just the right size to produce kindling that’ll get your fire roaring. So, does this log splitter really require minimal force? Compared to the other manual splitters for kindling that I tested, with the exception of the Swedish Log Splitter, I would say yes, this one is the easiest to use. You don’t need to be particularly strong to use this tool, and you don’t need to own a hammer either – just place your wood into the ring and hit it with anything slightly weighty that you have to hand, even if this is just another piece of wood.

Why? Because it features an automatic belt tension system. If you just like to sit around a campfire or fire pit and have a beer or two with some friends, then it might not be worth investing in a log splitter. Perhaps a super cool log splitting drill bit that is a relatively new addition to the log splitting arsenal. The main thing you must take into consideration is the type of log you are going to be splitting. If you’re going to be splitting hard and knotty woods then we’d recommend looking at a 7-ton log splitter as a starting point. You may require a more powerful splitter if you’re planning on regularly splitting the harder woods such as Elm or Ash.
