If you often need to chop wood, log splitters will save you plenty of time and energy as you work through even the most daunting of woodpiles. Our power log splitter range includes models suitable for light yard work right up to professional-grade tools that can handle large amounts of lumber with ease.

Why Use Log Splitters?

Tidying up overgrown plants and trees is an essential part of yard work. And while hedges and shrubs can be kept in shape using a trimmer—with the cuttings fed into a chipper for easy disposal—if you're dealing with thick branches or tree trunks, you need a much sturdier solution.

Log splitters pair up perfectly with chainsaws to cut even the heftiest pieces of wood down to size, speeding up regular yard maintenance compared to working with a traditional axe. And, of course, if you own a wood burner or a wood-fired furnace, log splitters make it simple to turn waste timber into a valuable winter resource.

Power Log Splitter Types

Log splitters can run off three main power sources: electricity, gas, and hydraulic fluid.

  • Electric log splitters: Great for a quieter wood-cutting experience with little to no emissions.
  • Gas log splitters: Provide high-end cutting power with the flexibility of easy refilling.
  • Hydraulic log splitters: Highly robust, hydraulic log splitters are reliable for regular and intensive use.

How Does a Power Log Splitter Work?

Log splitters apply a large amount of pressure to a small area of wood using a dull blade, splitting the log along its grain. The thicker the log, the more pressure is needed to split it, and we stock splitters with a wide variety of power ratings to match your task.

For everyday wood chopping of branches up to around 6 inches thick, a 5-ton log splitter provides enough force while keeping to an economical cost. Further up the scale, a 28-ton log splitter can handle trunks of up to 30 inches in diameter, making these models suitable for heavy-duty lumberjack work.

Vertical and Horizontal Log Splitters

Log splitters can be designed to hold the log horizontally or vertically, and each has its benefits:

  • A horizontal log splitter has a table to hold the logs securely in place, making it quick and easy to cut large numbers of smaller logs.
  • Larger branches or trunks which are heavy to lift can instead be rolled into a vertical splitter design, where the logs sit at ground level to reduce the strain on your back.
  • Some splitters can switch between vertical and horizontal orientation depending on your need, providing the greatest versatility for logs of all thicknesses and lengths.
