Aldi Log Splitter?

[peatff]

I've had similar in the past.

Not as fast as a maul on straight grained stuff, and they still struggle on gnarly lumps, but it's good to have as backup when you're knackered.

I have a problem with right shoulder and bought a 4 ton splitter and it works alright but it's not fantastic. I cut big lumps with the saw and use wedges and a lump hammer for tough bits the splitter can't manage.

With my dual speed/ force splitter my experience is 4 ton will split most logs but I sometimes need to pull the lever more to get to the 8 tonne force. This seems to be inline with other posters experience that 4 of 5 tonne is not quite enough sometimes.

The time will come no doubt but Ive had my splitter for a season or so and with 8 tonne available I have not yet needed to resort to wedges or saw.

Thanks for the responses, looks like these splitters could be a useful addition to the maul/wedges etc Although as it's only going to be used as a backup I may save myself the £80 and get the manual 8ton jobbie instead of the electric one
