Title: Ordered a Swisher - was sent something else
Review: On the package and on the splitter itself there is NO appearance of the name "Swisher"! Instead, we were sent a "Super4rce" Chinese-made unit with questionable welds, unhardened steel and a hydraulic pump that malfunctioned after the first few logs.After fixing the hydraulic ram we were able to split several very hefty maple rounds with no trouble at all. As we continue to operate this splitter in the future we will always wonder if it will work hydraulically. We'll also be concerned that the soft-metal construction so typical of Chinese tools will become compromised and bend. And we'll watch the welds to see if they crack or disintegrate.The splitter is a GREAT idea! It just needs USA grade construction -- and a larger splitting wedge as well.Time will tell if this was a smart purchase. Buyer beware.
