One fine review Steve ! :msp_thumbup:
I've been begging ( yes, beg, no pride :msp_confused for a review of the DR "Dual Action 10 Ton Electric Splitter" or the Ramsplitter 16 Ton electric--no takers yet.
Since most of us know how a fixed, thicker wedge splitter operates, how did you all feel about the build and long term durability of a moving, thin wedge ? Any side movement or 'looseness' ?
If the 2-way got stuck in a knotty, stringy, or crotched piece, how did the wedge ( or user ) get "unstuck " ? By itself ? Or, some effort ? When a fixed wedge gets hung up, the log has to be pried up or hammered out of the wedge; a PITA .
Any negatives on the thinner 2-way wedge engineering ?
Thx.
I have the Powerhorse 20 ton dual split. It has been flawless, if you are splitting a lot of really large pieces 25 inches plus it may not be the splitter for you. It will do it but some pieces have to either roll or flip and split again. If a piece does get stuck on the wedge just reverse the ram once it gets to the other stop the ram pulls itself out. The narrow wedge works better then I expected in good straight wood it will pop them open just as quick as a wide wedge. With a cycle time of roughly 4.3 seconds even having to run the wedge all the way through is fast.
