A log splitter is a piece of machinery or equipment used for splitting firewood from softwood or hardwood logs that have been pre-cut into sections (rounds), usually by chainsaw or on a saw bench.
Many log splitters consist of a hydraulic or electrical rod and piston assembly and these are often rated by the tons of pressure they can generate. The higher the pressure rating, the greater the thickness or length of the rounds that can be split.
Most log splitter models for home use have a rating around 10 tons, but professional hydraulic models may exert 25 tons of pressure or more.
