I have a supply of mesquite that needs splitting. There may be a harder wood to split than mesquite, but I have yet to encounter it. I could pound on a wedge HUNDREDS of times, and I am a big guy who lifts weights, and make no progress. I considered getting motorized splitter, but I was attracted by the mechanical simplicity of this device, and the fact it generates 12 tons of force, as opposed to 5 or so for most electric splitters. To make a long story short, this thing is awesome - splits mesquite rounds brilliantly, making a truly dramatic CRACK as this stubborn wood succumbs to the relentless pressure. Design is smart too - one of the handles moves the piston about a half-inch per pull - useful for snugging up the cut, and for separating it after the big CRACK. The other handle moves the piston about 1/8 or so, providing irresistible pressure. This is not fast, but it is lots of fun, very satisfying to use.

Opened the manual wood splitter to try it out and NO HANDLES in the box to work the product. Now we are expected to jump through hoops to PROVE there are no handles! Geez

I wanted a pneumatic splitter that would not annoy the neighbors. This guy does the job and works well on eucalyptus wood which is notoriously tough to split.

I needed it. Splitting some oak and my wedge wouldn't make any headway. Hit the wedge a couple of times and it would just pop out because the wood was so hard. This thing will split tough wood, even with big knots in it. I like that you can store it on the end so it takes up less space and the handles tuck away in two slots designed for them.The left piston pump moves the plunger quicker than the right side, so you snug it up with the left side then you can use the right side to slowly advance the piston and split the wood.I had hoped it would be faster than it is, but it works.

The large hydraulic side quit after 3 uses and the cap broke off after a month.
