Powerhouse SS-FX128-Z 7-ton Electric Log Splitter Review

Are you one of the lucky home owners who have a wood burning stove to provide heat throughout the long cold northern winters? The awesome warmth they provide is only limited by the amount of wood you can split. Now splitting wood is one of the most demanding, tedious and time consuming chores there ever was.

In the end it is totally worth it, with the saving you have in not burning non renewable resources as well as the fact that you will never, ever be cold in the winter, as long as you keep that wood stove burning hot. But in order to tap in to this valuable resource you need to first obtain all the wood you need, then you need to split it. A good device for getting this demanding task done it to buy a wood splitting device such as the Powerhouse SS-FX128-Z 7-ton Electric Log Splitter.

This is a great log splitter for everyday use in a regular household. This model has an electric motor, which means you never need to strain yourself chopping unruly logs down to a manageable size for your wood stove ever again. With a splitting force of seven tons and a solid ram the most difficult logs to split using a wedge and sledge hammer or an axe, will fall apart with ease. Once you load a log in to the slot you simply pull either the high or the low speed lever and the ram will push the log it to the tough sharpened steel wedge, welded to the frame.

For logs that are hard wood, knotted or have a wonky grain you are going to want to use the low speed this ill push the log in to the wedge slowly but with overall more force allowing for easy splitting. If you want soft woods, with minimal knots and a straight grain chopped you can use the higher speed which pushes the log fractionally faster but with less over all force as it is not needed for softer woods. The only limit you have in the logs you want to get cut is, if how much you can lift or maneuver in to the slot without hurting or straining yourself.

As with many electric log splitters the only component you need to keep an eye on is the lever of hydraulic oil, you do not want your new log splitter to seize up before you get your seasons fire wood all cut up.
