I am on my second log splitter. The first came with the place, an old Craftsman 10 ton I fixed and used it for over twenty years. Had to be patient. I lent it out all the time.

A friend of mine gave me his newer Craftsman Honda powered 20 ton splitter a few years ago when he retied to Florida. I think it is a Craftsman. It is in the barn and it is snowing so I'll look tomorrow.

What a world of difference 20 tons makes, especially in the diameter of log you can split.

The real choice is whether you like vertical or horizontal splitters. I prefer horizontal since we always split with two people and the visual is better, YMMV. They do make hybrids. Really, a splitter is a very simple machine.
