I put any relevant quotes in parenthesis. Dead Blow Hammer : 3. People really rip on this one. It was jamming on me for a while. I kept trying to oil up the hammer, but it would jam again. Capacity Lightweight Aluminum Racing Jack : 3. Harbor Freight 2. It is used almost daily to air up tires and works great with my nailer and sprayer.
Recommend rethreading and using graded nut. Sledge Hammer with Hickory Handle. Claw Hammer with Fiberglass Handle. I only needed them for one project.
PVC Air Hose. US General tool boxes and chests. Capacity Appliance Hand Truck. Just junk wrenches you dont mind abusing. Chrome on your arms if you wrench too hard. Good warranty though. To my knowledge this is the only tool he destroyed with a 10 pound sledge hammer after completing his review.
I used liquid steel to fix it. Those all fall in the total failure group. Corded drill. I walked in with the pump and the guarantee, showed the melted motor fan, picked up a replacement and walked out. The splitter is compact in size and is easy to store and move. It has two handles that you pump to drive the piston and the RAM rides on the steel frame.
You can fix this by putting the splitter on a higher surface, but make sure you create a stable stand or foundation before you split. The body of the splitter is durable and long-lasting.

It is a case of you get what you pay for, and "some assembly required" as per most harbor freight stuff. It comes in a couple of pieces, each of which weigh around odd pounds.
Putting them together, especially on unlevel ground in the woods beside my driveway, was NOT fun. I'm a 6'5 strong guy, and using a farm jack I was just barely able to tilt things into place. The instructions say 2 people required for assembly, and they aren't lying. A forklift and 2 people would make the job far easier. I had a nut missing from the package - once again typical harbor freight, but not a big deal.
Filling fluids was a pain. Many of the things about this splitter could be improved with minor design tweaks, and the fluid fills are certainly one of them. A right angle funnel, or better yet some sort of transfer pump, would have been far easier than my approach of gently tilting a 5 gallon can of hydraulic fluid into a horizontal hole. Oil fill is the same joy. Fired it up - Robin subaru engine seems really nice on initial use. THe control lever, which you have to hold onto the whole time in forward, is very awkwardly situated.
Yet another future tweak. There is an automatic high speed return. Then the hydraulic filter blew, and sprayed hydraulic fluid everywhere. More fun.
We'll see Runs fine with the new filter. I'm really happy with it now. Yes, it could have some design improvements, but its built tough, and splits well. I'd definitely buy it again - it seems better than stuff I've seen for more. Other minor issues - the adjustable kickstand, which really requires three hands to make it trailerable. The height of the hitch couple - good ' above ground. I'll post again if I have anything to add, but currently I'm very pro.
Oct 5, 2. Sounds great. Boy, I would love to have a log splitter. But then I would have to buy a wood stove, and a chain saw, and a truck Oct 5, 3. Dargo Super Member.
