If you have large numbers of logs to prepare for the fire or wood-burner, this mains-driven log-splitter from Ryobi will save you literally hours of backbreaking work compared to chopping them up with an axe - simply place your sawn logs on top of the unit, flick a switch, and watch as the log splits in two. Individual pieces can then be re-split down to your required size. The Ryobi ELS-52 Electric Log Splitter asserts an incredible four-tons of pressure, ensuring workloads are handled quickly and efficiently without stoppages. Powered by a 1500w electric motor, this product will split logs up to 52cm/21" in length. Logs up to around 12"/30cm in diameter can generally be split in one go, whilst larger logs will need to be turned and split a second time from the opposite side. Supplied with a 12m/40ft cable, the Ryobi ELS-52 Log Splitter has large transport wheels for easy movement; rubber grip handles for comfortable manoeuvring; and a strong tubular-frame construction for durability. It weighs 45kg.
