Deuba Wood Splitter Log Bomb 170mm Splitting Wedge Easily Split Wood Grenade

Product Information

If the logs that you’re splitting are large, around 30 cm in height, you’ll need a hydraulic log splitter or a large manual splitter. On the other hand, if your logs are only about 15 cm tall, then a manual log splitter should be suitable. These limitations apply to the diameter of the logs as well, so choose a log splitter with appropriate specifications. This log splitter is much easier to use on smaller logs. As mentioned, it’ll split larger logs too, but you do need to put a fair bit of force behind your hammer. In some cases, it would be easier to just use an axe. There isn’t much assembly involved with this wood splitter. It comes with four screws that you use to attach the tool to a base log – choose one that’s relatively tall to save you from having to stoop over. Ignore the metal pipe that comes in the box – this isn’t needed unless you also have a tool called the Smart Splitter.

On the other hand, if you’re going to be splitting wood that’s soft and already pretty brittle, you won’t need quite so much power, which should save you some money! There’s no assembly required for this log splitter. However, you do have the option of screwing it onto a base log (screws aren’t provided) to hold the unit steadier while it’s in use. If you’re working with heavy wood, then I would recommend doing so. We use the Royal Mail to ship smaller items to our customers.

COVID-19 Update - Some delivery disruption Hydraulic splitters make use of a hydraulic pump to push a splitting blade into a log. These log splitters run on either electricity or petrol – those who need to travel around with their wood splitter usually tend to go for the petrol option. If you’re looking for a log splitter that doesn’t require any assembly whatsoever, then this is it. Out of the five log splitters that I tested, this one was the fastest to put together. All you have to do is remove the rubber tip and you’re good to go!Manually splitting logs with an axe can be extremely tiring, but the Rolson 10780 Wood Grenade Log Splitter promises to help you make light work of the task. According to the brand, using this uniquely-shaped tool with a sledge hammer will enable you to easily split a log four-ways with just a few taps, so I was eager to find out how true this claim really was. Compared to the manual log splitters that I tested, this one is obviously a lot louder, to the point where Forest Master recommends wearing ear protection when using it. However, considering it has a 2200W motor, I didn’t find it to be particularly loud, although any nearby neighbours may disagree! Hydraulic splitters vary in terms of power: 5 to 7 tons is usually the minimum, but bigger log splitters can provide around 10 times that amount (which is only really needed for heavy-duty jobs).

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. If you have nearby neighbours, noise level could be another deal-breaker. Manual log splitters tend to be the quietest, while electric log splitters are much louder. It has a fibreglass shaft with a rubberised handle so that less of an impact is felt in the hands, wrists and arms during use. Log splitting can be pretty noisy. If you have neighbours in close proximity and you run a petrol hydraulic splitter every few days, they might start to complain. What makes this log splitter even more appealing is its budget-friendly price. Granted, you’ll have to buy a hammer too, but even then, the overall cost is still pretty reasonable for something of this standard. It’s definitely not a tool that’s going to break easily, and if you do happen to dent it with your super strength, you should be able to use a file to fix it.The most important factor that you need to consider when looking for the best log splitter is the type of wood that you want to split. The Lancasters, with a wing span of 102ft, dropped down from over 1000ft to the lake and flew a curving approach, hopping over a spit of land which rose to 50ft less than a mile from the target. The Swedish Log Splitter really stands out when it comes to its design. It makes use of a weight that drops down a long pole to push a wedge with two blades into the log. When done repeatedly, this splits the log. Other than a couple of washers, all parts of this log splitter are made from metal, which makes everything feel strong and durable.
