PowerSmart 6.5 Ton Electric Log Splitter review

A 6.5 ton electric splitter with a 15 A induction motor and a two-year warranty, for logs up to 20 x 10 in.

What the listing commits to

PowerSmart gives a 15 amp induction motor, logs up to 20 by 10 inches and a 37.4 by 10.6 by 18.1 inch footprint. It offers a two-year warranty.

Against BILT HARD

BILT HARD’s warranty runs 90 days, and this one eight times that. It has fewer reviews.

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.
