Reading about these they are a two handed operation. I have a smaller 4 ton electric. Works great but it’s also a two handed operation. A button to power it and a lever to move cylinder.

I will get around that. I went with WEN unit for the price.pray for me.

I modded my Princess Auto electric splitter to eliminate the push button + lever 2 handed operation by by replacing the push button with an industrial limit switch mounted so that it was actuated by moving the main hydraulic control lever.

I have the four ton Princess splitter. No problem with 8"pine have done 12 pine easily. Just in case anybody cared.

I have the Princess Auto 5 ton splitter. I can use it single handed by pressing the hydraulic lever with my thigh and the power button with my hand. Leaves the other hand free to hold awkward pieces of wood in place. Does a good job on most of the small stuff I burn.
