You can save ample time
Log splitter allows you to cut the wood just once and make it into a round that appropriately fits into the splitter. Obviously, this is time saving, as you are neither required to cut each piece into a round nor into a fireplace-sized piece.
To simplify things effortlessly, using either electric or gas splitter is a good choice. As soon as you press the button or pull the lever, wood is cut instantly.
You get to reduce your work
With splitters, you can keep yourself away from using extensive energy and succumbing to exhaustion. Simply load the round in the splitter and take the finished pieces off. Ain’t it less tiring than doing it all manually?
Surprise! Surprise! Setting the splitter properly enables to cut down the amount of carrying needed, which eventually reduces your work even more.
Get more work done
With more time and energy in your kitty, you get to do more. For instance, you can use the energy to increase the quantity of wood you can split in a single sitting.
Cutting more woods at once reduces the overall time you are required to spend on splitting the logs. When you have a stockpile with you, engage yourself in activities other than cutting firewood.
Save your heating bill
For most of us, heating our home is too expensive. Every time heating bill makes its way, there are extra charges and taxes. When you use the machinery, you are free to cut own firewood and save hefty finances.
Minimal maintenance
Being smaller in size with fairly simple design, log splitters don’t demand much as far as maintenance is concerned. All they need to work is nothing but oil.
Powered splitters do ask for a bit more maintenance but that’s justified due to their complex nature. Gas powered need regular fill ups of oil and fuel. Lastly, electric splitters need paying attention to the condition of the power cord.
No mess
Fortunately, these tools don’t create much mess. When the logs are cut, some wood chips fly off the machine. These can be raked into a pile and then used for fire or added to a compost pile.
Use them indoors
What could be better than using the splitter indoors when it’s chilling outside? Electric and manual log splitters can be easily used in garages or sheds, provided there’s enough room to move the machine. Also, setting the equipment indoors ensures the set up is done on an even surface.
Portable and easy to store
As they are moveable, splitters can be used easily set up in different places. This way, you get your money’s worth. What else? You are free to use them whenever you want without being restricted by machine’s reach.
Portable nature makes the equipment easy to store, which is a good way to increase its lifespan.
