BILT HARD 6.5 Ton Electric Log Splitter review

A 6.5 ton electric splitter with 1,221 ratings at 4.6 out of 5, but the warranty on it is just 90 days.

What the listing commits to

BILT HARD states a 15 amp motor, 6.5 tons, two-hand controls and 5.7 inch wheels, for logs up to 9.8 by 20.5 inches.

The trade-off

It has 1,221 ratings, a long buyer record for an electric splitter. The 90-day warranty is its weak point.

Using it

Wear eye protection and gloves, keep your hands off the log while the ram moves, and work on level ground. Run one operator only. Corded models belong on a suitable outdoor extension cord; check the manual for the gauge and length.
