Gas or Electric Powered Log Splitter?

Home users may opt for a manual or small electric log splitter for preparing firewood from larger logs of wood.

However, if you need a powerful splitter to cut larger logs, then the gas powered model could well be perfect for you. If you anticipate only using a log splitter once, hiring one to save costs is a worthwhile option.

After finding the right splitter, it’s time to cut some logs.

Electric log splitters and wood splitters are powered by an electrical cord, as opposed to manual or gas log splitters.

They are machines that are generally low to the ground, contain a base plate and cradle that the wood is held in, and have a rod with a wedge on the end that is driven via hydraulics into the wood to be split.

Gas log splitters and wood splitters are powered by gas or petrol with a cc engine, as opposed to manual or electrical corded log splitters.

They are machines that are generally very heavy, the biggest and sturdiest of the splitters, very powerful, contain a base plate and cradle that the wood is held in, and have a rod with a large wedge on the end that is driven via hydraulics into the wood to be split.

A manual hydraulic log splitter is just a splitter made of steel and a hydraulic press with a wedge/rod, that you activate with your hands.

It is not powered by gas/petrol, or electricity.
