A slide-hammer log spitter is a clever invention meant to keep you safe while spitting rounds of wood. The traditional way of splitting firewood is with a splitting axe or maul. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Both of which involve you, the chopper, swinging and sharp and heavy tool. I shouldn’t have to say this but swinging an axe can be dangerous. It’s relatively safe with proper care and common sense, but accidents happen.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With a slide-hammer, your chances of getting hurt are greatly reduced.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A slide-hammer log splitter is a tool with a handle or weight which is lifted up and pulled downward, transmitting force upon impact. The wedge at the cutting end never moves from the place you set it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This eliminates\u00a0the chance of glancing blows entirely. This is why so many people are opting for this tool instead of a splitting axe<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This page is meant to compare the top 5 slide-hammer log splitters<\/strong>. I’ll give you some information about the company behind the tool, a short review of each one, and I will finish by providing a link where you can purchase the splitters online.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My Top Pick – Logosol Smart-Splitter<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Logosol
You can purchase the Logosol Smart-Splitter online. Click here to see it on Amazon \u2192<\/a><\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I had a hard time choosing my favorite splitter; it came down to this one and the Roughneck Manual Splitter. As you can see, I decided to go with the Logosol smart-splitter. It’s the only slide-hammer on this page which can’t be transported easily. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

That’s because it’s designed to be attached to a piece of wood or something similar. While some people might be discouraged by this, I see it as a positive. You don’t have to search through your garage to find it and it stands on its own when you get tired and need a break.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The reason it’s my top choice is that\u00a0it has a nice-sized pole, which gives you a bigger range of motion. This allows you to generate more force each time you slide the weighted attachment. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Having more force per strike means you can split firewood faster. Not only that, the Logosol Smart-Splitter works well with logs and kindling. You can use this one tool for splitting both firewood and kindling<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
