The round shank has a two-pit and two-slot structure, while the square handle has a four-pit structure. All handles for the Gotida Firewood Drill Bit have an anti-skid groove design that ensures the bit stays in place during heavy-duty applications. Pros The Logmaster foot operated log splitter is very easy to use and maintain. A little anti-rust machine oil on the working parts from time to time should suffice.

Although it is more expensive than most drill bits, I think adding the Xinde Firewood Drill Bit to my toolkit was worth the cost. The bit comes with a single 0.4-inch wide hex handle, which limits it range of compatible tools. Another benefit of log splitter drill bits is that they are much more efficient than traditional methods.

Cycle time refers to how long it takes a log splitter to chop a single log. Cycle time is reserved for electric- or gas-powered models that don’t require manual effort. While electric-powered splitters have a cycle time of around 20 seconds, gas-powered models can split logs in under 15 seconds. Maintenance This easy-to-operate log splitter might not be the biggest, but it’s no slouch in the field, either. Its 15-amp motor provides over 13,000 pounds of pressure to split logs up to 10 inches in diameter and 20.5 inches in length; the side-support wings hold your log firmly in place, so no sliding while you cut. And the 5.5-inch wheels make it easy to transport the log splitter right where you want it.

You can choose between 1.65-inch and 1.25-inch versions of the Jerax Tools Firewood Bit. The hexagonal handle and the conical bit are welded, so the parts can’t separate while in operation. Bit’s rugged design can be misleading since it is only designed to produce kindling wood from well-dried firewood. The log splitter itself is a single-piece item that’s ready to be used straight out of the box. However, if you’re in the EU, the law requires you to assemble the safety cage, which takes a lot of time and patience. Have a look at some images online to work out how it’s done, since the instructions aren’t very helpful. The adjustable height stopper for the ram is a game changer. You won’t waste time if you’ve got shorter logs to cut.Safety: When testing the range of log splitters in our line-up, I had to take into account a wide variety of safety features. Some products were made so simple that they didn’t need any safety features, and these were ranked high as safety was still paramount to their design. For the electric hydraulic log splitter, I tested the effectiveness of its safety features, including its safety cage. Believe it or not, you can actually split wood using a drill. Of course, you shouldn’t just take your drill straight to the log. It will just drill a hole into the log. Instead, you can split wood with a drill if you get a proper wood splitting attachment. Like most electric and petrol log splitters these days, it has built in safety features such as requiring you to have both hands on the controls and out of the way of the moving parts or the machine won’t work. Twelve-inch seasoned logs require a 7-to-10-ton splitter, while 12-inch green logs may need up to 16 tons of driving force.
