My son and I would split a littte wood with a maul and wedges and a lot of sweat. Now we split a lot of wood with a wood splitter with a little sweat. " When the gray hair starts to grow............. they will know."

@AsktheBuilder: a good point about the rotator cuff, but isn't that what kids, grandkids, (families) are for? :) I vote maul and more family woodcuttings!

I've inherited an old 20ton craftsman splitter, but there's no manual, so I've been playing it by ear when I use it. The operation's pretty easy - it's mostly the care and maintenance that I'm concerned about. Any suggestions? And why did it squirt 1/2 gallon of hydraulic fluid out the release valve when I first used it? (I wasn't the one who filled it, so I have no idea how much was in the reservior). BTW - when it comes to gnarly oak y-joints - 20ton splitters rock!

Would`nt it be more practical, to have an adjustable knife, placed in the other end? This machine should be strong enough to cut to cut the logs in four pieces....

It produces 27tons of pressure. I'd say it will do it. Rent one and see before you buy one.

Cool, I spilit lotta of wood. only way to do it is with a splitter. Firewood prices should follow oil -- up 400% in ten years -- I WISH

sorry your very wrong by saying they are worthless, if you have real wood that needs splitting, like bases of trees that are over a foot an a half wide they are worth there weight in gold
