BILT HARD 6.5 Ton Electric Splitter with Stand review

The same 6.5 ton BILT HARD with a stand that raises it to working height, worth it for your back.

What the listing commits to

BILT HARD adds a heavy-duty stand to its 6.5 ton, 15 amp splitter. The ram returns on its own after you release both controls.

Worth the money?

A low splitter means a lot of bending. A stand is the cheapest back care you can buy.

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.
