Split wood indoors or out with clean, electric power. Easy-to-use splitter features a 1300 watt, 115V AC motor that splits wood 20.5 inches in length and 10 inches in diameter. Uses any 110v household outlet.
You'll never swing a splitting maul again.
Not when you can split wood faster and easier with the Electric/Hydraulic DR Wood Splitter.
Small in size, but plenty powerful, this machine does the work of much larger gas-powered splitters, but without any of the hassles. And it costs much less, too!
Plug the DR Wood Splitter into any standard household outlet (110v) and you're ready to get started. Then just load a log, push a lever and watch it split tough hardwood logs up to 10" in diameter and 20.5" long in seconds. Split a little at a time or work all day.
NOTE: the above video mistakenly says "1500 watts." This log splitter is actually 1300 watts. Please see SPECS tab for full details.
does what the specs say it will do. more powerful than expected and easy to use.
Does everything as advertised and then some. Wish it was built taller so an old man wouldn't have to bend over so far. Has split larger than 10 pine easily.
I bought my first DR 4-ton in Nov. 2004. I split 5-6 cords annually x 14 years equals 70-84 cords. Replaced two handle springs. Until a seal started leaking and the ram failed to return, the springs were the only issue. I now have a 5- ton. I split mostly oak and white ash. No problem even with over size chunks but don't try large elm- too grainy. I am very happy. I now have a new 5-tonseems more sturdy with improved features. And it was 100 less than the 4-ton 14 years ago.
My husband Fred loves it. The problem is he spends all his time splitting wood now.He things it is great. He's like a kid getting a wonderful new toy for Christmas.
I am very impressed with this little splitter. I purchased this to use in the basement, it is perfect. Very well made, easy to operate, much more powerful than I expected.
I owned a DR 5-Ton Electric Wood Splitter made in 2006, and this year the seal started leaking around the piston. DR told me they no longer had parts for that machine, and I should buy a new one. I did, and it works great, just like my old one. But two things are missing which disappoint me. First, I bought the table for my old one, and this one doesn't fit the foot and wheel stops in the old table, nor can you secure it to the table like the old one. Second, it doesn't have the wide tray which kept the split logs from falling onto the ground like my old one did. I wish both of those features could be incorporated into future versions.
Love this little bugger! Great secondary splitter. It allows me to Taylor split according to need. A must if you are using a 'Grate Wall of Fire' vertical grate with fire back! I'm a happy camper! I rate it a buy!
I had a DR 6 ton electric splitter, lasted for like 15 years, loved it. When it died I was told DR no longer repairs those, so I bought a K 10 flywheel splitter at DR's suggestion, it is no where near as good as the 6 ton. So then I bought a 5 ton electric splitter, what a disappointment, weak, slow not 2 speed like the 6 ton was. I am disappointed in DR, spiraling down.
