If you just like to sit around a campfire or fire pit and have a beer or two with some friends, then it might not be worth investing in a log splitter. Perhaps a super cool log splitting drill bit that is a relatively new addition to the log splitting arsenal. Like the manual log splitter from the same manufacturer, this electric log splitter has the dual blade ‘Duocut’ feature so it can split any type of logs to a maximum size of 430mm in length. This dual blade action makes it great for cutting through knots and it does so with ease. Most electric or gas log splitters automatically retract the wedge and reset the hydraulic valve after splitting the wood. If yours does not, reset the valve manually. To ensure your drill bits last for many years, there are a few steps you should take to keep them in top form.

As mentioned, this machine can be used either vertically via a foot pump, or horizontally through the use of hand operated levers.Twelve-inch seasoned logs require a 7-to-10-ton splitter, while 12-inch green logs may need up to 16 tons of driving force.

Finally, its important to store your log splitter drill bits properly to prevent them from becoming damaged. This hydraulic log chopping equipment is lightweight at 30 kg. It has a pair of rings and a handle for easy manoeuvrability. Moreover, it’s available at a budget-friendly price tag. The machine seeks some assembly for the first use, but you can easily accomplish the instruction by following the included manual. If buying a model without a stand I would be looking to safely bench mount it. No chance I’m leaning over all that time. This guy demos how to do it with a little 5 ton log splitter on the bench. I can’t show you that as mine is on a stand. So here’s a look at what he’s done and it looks plenty safe enough to me. It also makes the engage switch easier to access:The attractive price point is, in my opinion, the Xali Firewood Drill Bit‘s most attractive feature. The 1.26-inch bit arrives with 0.4-inch hex and round handles, while the square handle is 0.47-inches wide. If you prefer to split wood the old-fashioned way—with an axe—then you'll need fairly good upper body strength along with a reliable and heavy axe. And the Fiskars Pro IsoCore Wood Splitting Maul is just the axe for the job.
