This question we are often asked and can only be answered very individually. As mentioned in the introduction, the work of splitting wood is a really sweaty and time-consuming work. Firewood dealers who split masses of firewood all year round naturally use a log splitter and not an axe.

But even with smaller quantities, a log splitter can be worthwhile, because the working time is reduced immensely by a log splitter. With an axe you need about 4-5 working days for 10 solid cubic meters. With a log splitter, on the other hand, the same amount can be done in one day.

In addition to this time saving, the splitting process with a log splitter is also significantly less strenuous and usually healthier. On the one hand, this is because the body is not put under incredible strain in just a few days, and on the other hand, working with a log splitter is basically easier on the back. It has also been proven that the risk of injury decreases when working with a log splitter compared to working with an axe.

At a dealer or in the construction market can be bought ready for the stove logs. However, the price of this wood is much more expensive than home production from logs. For years, firewood prices have been rising, making it clear that a log splitter quickly pays for itself. This means that in the medium to long term, the purchase of a log splitter can also save a lot of money.
