Vertical / Horizontal - Log Splitters - The Home Depot

Question 1

What are the advantages of an electric log splitter over a gas model?

Accepted Answer

Electric log splitters are a great alternative to gas because they're quieter, produce zero emissions, and require less maintenance since there are no oil changes or spark plugs to worry about. They are ideal for homeowners who want a convenient, eco-friendly option for splitting firewood in their yard or garage.

Question 2

Which log splitters are the top rated?

Accepted Answer

The 37 Ton 338cc Gas Powered Log Splitter with Vertical/Horizontal Operation and Auto Return-with Hydraulic Oil is one of our top-rated log splitters.

Question 3

What's the best log splitter for handling my firewood needs?

Accepted Answer

This log splitter is great for occasional and regular firewood splitting. Consider the size and type of wood you'll be splitting most often. Larger, tougher wood benefits from splitters with higher tonnage (splitting force).

Question 4

How do I choose the right cycle time?

Accepted Answer

Choose a log splitter cycle time based on the size of logs you typically split. Faster cycle times increase productivity with smaller logs, while slower times are sufficient for larger, tougher wood. We have log splitters with cycle times of 15.2, 16.5, and 13 seconds.

Question 5

What are some popular brands of log splitters?

Accepted Answer

Some popular brands known for high-quality log splitters include YARDMAX, XtremepowerUS, and Boss Industrial.

Question 6

I'm dealing with some thick logs. What's the biggest diameter log splitter available, and are there any trade-offs?

Accepted Answer

We carry log splitters with max log diameters reaching up to 30 inches to handle those bigger jobs! Generally, larger max log diameters often come with higher splitting force (tonnage) and larger engine size, adding to the overall cost and weight.
