How to choose a log splitter?

Picking the right log splitter is really about matching the machine to your setup and how often you plan to use it. Check out the options below to see what’s available on Lasoo, with deals and discounts that do you a solid.

Electric log splitters

If you’re after something simple, tidy and easy to run, electric log splitters are a solid place to start. These plug-in models are great for home use and handle regular firewood jobs without the noise or fumes of petrol machines. You’ll usually see compact designs with enough power to split smaller to medium logs, making them a good fit for backyards, garages and sheds where clutter is not invited.

Petrol and heavy-duty hydraulic log splitters

For bigger logs and tougher timber, petrol and hydraulic log splitters step in with serious muscle. These machines are built for performance and are commonly used on rural properties, farms or anywhere firewood is not a once-in-a-while task. Expect higher splitting force, stronger frames and designs that can handle thick, knotted wood like it’s no biggie.

Fire starter and kindling helpers

Sometimes it is not about splitting the big stuff, but getting a fire going quickly. Fire starter and kindling tools are made for turning smaller pieces of wood into easy lighting fuel, whether it is for the fireplace, wood oven or weekend firepit sessions. These tools are compact, simple to use and handy to have around when waiting around is not part of the plan.

FAQs

What size (tonnage) log splitter do I need for Australian hardwood?

The right tonnage depends on the size of the logs and how often you are splitting.

Below is a quick guide to log splitter tonnage to point you in the right direction:

Lower tonnage — Best for kindling, small logs and lighter hardwood pieces used occasionally.
Mid-range tonnage — A good all-round option for regular firewood and common Australian hardwoods.
Higher tonnage — Suited to large logs, tough hardwood and frequent splitting where extra power makes life easier.

How do I use a log splitter safely?

Use your log splitter on a flat surface and always follow the manufacturer’s instructions. Wear gloves and safety glasses and take your time with each log.

Are log splitters worth the cost compared to manual splitting?

If you only split a few logs now and then, manual splitting might do the trick. But if firewood is a regular job, a log splitter can save time, effort and strain on your body.
