Would you do this to save just over $400.00?

I broke down and bought a homelite . Got mine for $230ish after sale and vet discount. Have been very surprised at what it could split .

Here is one of the rounds from a rock maple I took down . Over 3 cord from that tree so far.



And the stump from the tree



And the some of what I split with the little electric





Have been pretty surprised by what the splitter can do . Has saved me a lot of pain after having a shoulder injury that prevented me from using my Fiskars .

That's amazing. Seems to be able to handle much more than I would have expected.

It looks like summer there. And your Homelite looks like a Ryobi. Maybe it's the same splitter with a different name.

Hi, Haven't read all the posts, but, if you don't have a splitter it's a good idea to get one. I remember splitting by hand, I thought anyone with a splitter was a sissy, didn't take long before it became clear it was time for a splitter.

Your splits will be exactly the size you want them, If you burn much wood, it's a must. Have fun, keep warm.
