I bought this 7 ton kinetic double flywheel electric log splitter from Northern Tools. You'll see how fast this splits wood. I'm not a physically strong woman and am in my 60s, but I can handle this and it's getting through that wood pile. I also filmed unboxing it and putting it together, in case you're interested to see how that goes. Link to that video appears at the end.
Free shipping if you order it from Northern Tools website and ship to store.
If you order this from Amazon, you pay for shipping to your home, currently $150 shipping fee.

-----------------------------------
When a church lady asked me to explain to her how I use my washing machine water to water my back yard plants, I filmed it and posted it for her and others to see. That was fun so I did more.
Besides recycling water, making natural fertilizer, and reviews of things I think need reviewing, some of these videos are about gardening or dealing with drought, while others answer someone's question or concern (such as a Next Door neighbor scared of bees, so I filmed myself with bees to help her not be so afraid of them, and a church lady horrified by wasps, so ditto).
Still other videos are ones I want people to know about - El Paso's deadly air pollution, and the beauty of Cloudcroft New Mexico.

I could actually live with noise seeing how easy and fast it splits. A set of headphones would actually solve the noise problem!

WJK, you are right. I use foam earplugs with it and that helps a whole lot with the noise. The machine itself continues to split those big logs.

Great review, thanks. I was also looking at this... but I discovered there is no Northern Tool store anywhere in the Northeast. However, after watching your review I think I will stick with the hydraulic because of the noise. Really appreciate the info.

My pleasure Kenneth Leak. Too bad there's no Northern Tool near you. Yep, it is noisy. I now use earplugs when using it and thankfully they help a whole lot.

i can't believe how well it works. Especially since the blade seems so dull and the machine doesn't appear to use much force.

Blake, after I assembled it, I sharpened the blade. It is not dull. I'm pleased it works well and fast. I love my manual log splitter, much prefer no noise at all, but that's too slow for what I've got to split. This kinetic one splits fast.

WHOA is right 😳you can go into log splitter business sell wood down In Alamogordo or Las Cruces. Where did you get the huge pile of logs? Did you cut all that wood? That’s an amazing piece of machinery. Good call buying that, it’s loud but you can get everything split sooner. 👏🏻✌🏻I bet you’re neighbors are wondering all your yelling Wooohoooo🤣

How long of piece can it take? Is that pine you splitting? Do you think it can handle maple? Thank you pretty cool video you made ne giggle 😎
@DesertRatGardener
@DesertRatGardener Жыл бұрын
Thank you Black Devil. The wood is 18 inches long, so it can take that length easily. I'm splitting douglas fir, pine and aspen, with an occasional oak. That's what grows around here. Not having split maple, I have no opinion about how it would split that. It doesn't mind ice cold wood. I split wood with it yesterday, and will do so again today. Really ice cold wood I thought I'd have a problem, but it split them easily. I split some wet wood after a rainstorm not long ago and that was a chore though.

Really? That's too bad. A few days ago the motor hummed on mine. I ordered a new start capacitor off Amazon and am using my manual splitter until that arrives. Been working this thing like a horse. I hate the noise so constantly turn it off and on. Bet that's how I wore out the capacitor. It is fast splitting. Look online for any 7 ton kinetic double flywheel electric splitter. They're likely made by same Chinese factory. To get to the engine and remove capacitor I had to tear down this splitters sides. It's a simple machine inside. One belt, two flywheels. Works like a horse.

I don't have a generator so have no experience regarding that. Call Northern Tools nearest you to ask if it can run off such.

Just try searching for the manual via Google and then look up the power requirements. Only guessing but see'n how it's a "kenetic" based design, I'm thinking your honda generator should run the splitter. Don't just take my word for it tho, find a digitial copy of the manual online and it should tell you tha max watts and amp draw, that the splitter requires.

I considered buying one of these for productivity purposes, but I ended up getting the Boss 5-ton electric hydraulic splitter for two reasons: 1] While Hydraulic splitters *are* a few times slower, this makes them far less dangerous by design. The kinetic splitters apply a much higher instantaneous force, and things can go wrong for an operator much faster than human reaction times allow. Productive, but stay vigilant! 2] The Boss has one-handed operation via a single lever. One handed operation allows for greater control of the work to keep things stable while splitting.-

Boss splitter is a good one. Love your name "FrenziedManbeast." So far I've had one chunk of wood fly up right at my face. Invisible force knocked it away from me to the side and the ground. I grinned from ear to ear, thanking God and my husband, whose invisible hand knocked that chunk of wood out of the way, I believe. It did really fly up fast from the splitter! I now wear goggles as I split too. I cant count on miracles all the time.

@@DesertRatGardener I ended up grabbing a 9 ton yardmax online the other day. It's electric/hydraulic, so not as fast as yours, but I'm upgrading from a maul and splitting wedge/hammer, so I'll save a ton of time regardless. Very excited for some easy splitting.
