Harbor Freight 5 Ton Electric Log Splitter Test Review

Very funny way of doing this the right way. I commend you for the lightness and content, good sir. Very helpful. Both thumbs up from me.

I simply could not get past 2 minutes of this commentary. Up and down, almost as if it was editing done by demons. Up, down, up, down. Same with volume, up for first part of sentence and down (and louder) for the last word. Sorry man, I hope that was intentional and not your normal way of talking.

Sounds like guga foods

I call BS on all these videos about that splitter. It's completely under powered compared to what these videos show. It's choking on some oak logs smaller than 10 inches and I have to start them with the axe.

I ought this spitter about three months ago - and haven't used it yet. Today is THE day! Can't wait to get out there and start getting this year's fire wood ready.

Just bought the exact same one.....love it

If you need to do 10 logs a day its a good tool

You wished it was 200….😂😂😂

Great video. Informative and FUNNY as heck!

Looks slow

Great video. Last thing I feel like doing on a clear sunny day is die. HAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAA

Thanks for the laugh and great review!🤣💕

Dig a hole in the ground the size of the machine and set it in there, so the ram and blade are ground level. Then you can roll your round of wood on it without lifting

the size of the log isn't what makes it difficult to split as much as the type of wood. None of the wood you used is oak I noticed. A test of a log splitter on conifer wood is not much of a test...try it on oak.

The tree inside is called the heartwood.

Dipstick not offended :)

Mine died on season two. Just hums and the capacitor is fine but the fan does bind in spots so I don't know what to do

LOVE the informative review AND the humor! Y'all are awesome!

What is the max length of blocks in this unit? 20"? 16"?

I made one modification on my unit. I went back to HF and bought an adjustable bar clamp for a couple of bucks, clamped the on off button to on position and when I am ready to split wood, just plug the unit in. I have a garden cart, fill it with rounds, and park it next to the splitter. My splitter is on a stand. On the opposite side of where I stand, I have a table. When splitting, I place the log so I can catch the split near me with my left hand, and the remaining log drops onto the table. I place the split piece in the garden cart, and split the rest of that log...same procedure. I usually start by pulling a couple or 3 logs out of the cart, placing them on the table. This operation is slow for some people, but since I am 73 years old, it is fine for me and does not tire me out! HA HA

awesome pro tips thanks

I have the same model in my home next to the stove. I put a bungee cord around the wood when I split then it’s easier to control then I set on a little stool next to the splitter I make kindling any size I want.

Bought same one 6 months ago Its a BEAST !

I bought the harbor, freight electric wood, splitter 5 ton exactly that same one so far no lie no joke. I had split eight full chords of big rounds of hardwood with no problem I put in 100 hours and changed the hydraulic fluid still going strong. very happy 👍👍👍

do you have a video on how to change the oil?

Brilliant

Dude the way you are voiceover is, is tripping me out what are you doing? great video though

Great job sir!

Can you operate it vertically?
I am assuming not with the location of the operation lever but I haven’t found anything one way or the other

Very helpful thanks

Thumbed up and subbed. Your azz is funny bruh

Too bad most all harbor freights stuff is made in china and low quality and just doesn't last long

Im a logger and never knew about these machines. Great video. What are some of the top splitters to buy

I think I’ll try it out

im from south TX and i got this splitter to cut mesquite and red oak its AMAZING works BADASS

This guy has humor.

Very Good!... 30

Great video and demonstration. The key to life is to not die.. thanks!

I enjoyed your humor! Thanks for sharing!

“Bc the last thing you want on a clear sunny DAY, is to die” 😂😂😂🤣🤣

looks like cherry, but its not and if you eat it, youll die kind of tree haha

Alright, alright, I was on the fence, but you talked me into it!

"And you wished it was 200" 🤣🤣 that was worthy of a new subscriber right there LOL

The last thing you want on a clear sunny day - is to die. Yup. The man speaks truth. So now i almost trust everything he says about this Harbor freight splitter.

Love how your voice goes deep at the end of each sentence. Great demo!

Thanks for the video! I just bought one.

use a 2 by 4, maybe 6" long to keep the ram from fully retracting - it will save time

My push button switch to turn the machine on quit working where can I get another switch
