With no need for strenuous strikes of the logs using a heavy axe, an electric or petrol log splitter is far more comfortable method of reducing the size of the logs ready to be put on the fire.

Mitox LS40 log splitterThe Mitox range of log splitters consists of 2 horizontal models which are ideal for the domestic user. The smaller of the two models is the LS40, which due to its compact dimensions is easy to store when not in use and can be used either on the floor close to the woodpile or on a work bench An optional stand can be fitted to the LS40 raising the wood splitter to a comfortable working height and enabling it to be easily transported on the transport wheels. The LS40 generates 4 tonnes of splitting force and is capable of splitting logs up to 37cm in length and 25cm in diameter into two pieces.

Mitox LS65X Electric log splitterIf you require a splitter capable of splitting harder, longer logs then you should consider the LS65X. With the capacity to split logs up to 52cm in length and a maximum splitting force of 6.5 tonnes, it can handle most domestic wood splitting jobs. The LS65X has the additional benefit of being supplied with a MultiSplit 4-Way splitting wedge speeding up the process as the wood is split into four manageable pieces. The stand included with the LS65X raises the working height and features transport wheels which enable it to be easily moved to the working area.
