Has anyone used a Huskee firewood splitter? They look like they would do a good job, but they also look pretty dangerous.

Right now I split all of my firewood by hand - mostly oak and maple, with a bit of apple and cherry.

A friend of mine has one and he thinks it's the cats a$$. It seems pretty safe to me, doesn't move all that fast. As long as you keep your hand off the end of the log it's probably less dangerous than a mower

I did see them at TSC. They had them in two different sizes. Are the different sizes for different sized logs, or for different hardness of wood?
 
It's like the old saying you get what you pay for .the larger one works faster ,has more splitting force,larger cylinder,bigger pump and motor.They also sell a verticle unit .Never used one so can't say which is better. russ
 
We gathered 5 cords this year. Usually I split it by hand a little at a time. We started a little later than usual, so I got behind on the splitting (which I love to do). I rented a splitter for a day and made quick work of the last cord.
 
We use ten cords of wood to heat our home each winter. We absolutely could not live without our wood splitter! We got a good deal on ours from a neighbor who decided to upgrade his model.
 
Green Girl,that's a lot of wood! Is wood your only heat source and what kind of wood do you burn? russ
