The basic gas log splitters are ideal for personal use or for those who do not split logs too often. These types of log splitter can apply up to 8-16 tons of force, which is more than their electric counterparts.
\nAlthough they have one major drawback, they cannot be put in a vertical position.<\/p>\n
This means that the operator must lift each log physically on top of the splitter before splitting it.
\nIf you split logs more often throughout the whole year why don\u2019t you consider upgrading to the standard or professional log splitter?<\/p>\n
Standard gas log splitter<\/h4>\n
Featuring engines which provide up to 20-29 tons of force, they are able of splitting thicker and harder logs. Their major advantage is that they can be installed in a vertical position, so there is no need to lift heavy logs onto the tray of the splitter.<\/p>\n
Professional gas log splitter<\/h4>\n
If you make your living from selling firewood, splitting logs or you just have a large amount of wood to split and want to do it conveniently, you should buy yourself a professional-grade log splitter.<\/p>\n
Professional log splitters are much the same as the standard models but with a more powerful engine. The engine of a pro log splitter usually produces over 30 tons of pressure, which is great for those big hardwood logs that are difficult to split.<\/p>\n
Safety<\/h2>\n
Safety is also a concern with a gas log splitter, so you need to read the safety manual and use safety gear.<\/p>\n
Maintenance<\/h2>\n
A mechanical splitter requires some maintenance. It should be kept oiled and free of debris between uses. Usually, your machine will come with maintenance instructions which are easy to follow.<\/p>\n
Mechanical wood splitters also have a variety of additional features such as traps for excess wood debris and self-cleaning mechanisms. These features can reduce your preparation and cleaning time.<\/p>\n
Wrapping up<\/h2>\n
As we can see from this article, there are various methods for splitting wood. The choice of the most appropriate wood splitter depends on the amount of wood that you need to split, the type of wood (smaller softer logs vs larger harder logs) and your overall budget.<\/p>\n
