Don’t be fooled by the Indian summer, it’s not long before you’ll turn on the heating and light the wood stove.
So now’s the time to invest in a powerful log splitter to make turning a pile of old branches into wood for the fire a lot less effort.
We have two excellent machines from Eastwood which will save hours of pounding away with an axe, and probably a bad back as well!
The Eastwood ELS4T 4-Ton Electric Log Splitter is on special offer and at just £149.95 shows an £80 saving on the manufacturer’s recommended price. What’s more it has a free four-way splitting wedge worth £29.95.
The electric motor gives up to four tons of splitting force using a hydraulic ram to force the wood against a splitting wedge. It can handle logs up to 370mm long and up to 250 mm diameter.
Built in safety measures include a hand shield and the machine has transport wheels to make it easier to move around.
And from the same manufacturer is the Eastwood ELS5T 5-Ton Electric Log Splitter also on special offer at £199, over £100 off the manufacturer’s recommended price.
And it too has a free splitting wedge worth £29.95. With a splitting force of 5 tons it can be used on logs up to 520 mm. The splitting wedge can produce smaller pieces which can be used as kindling. It has added stability and is designed to let you work at waist height.
And it too has safety features built in.
A good pile of your own logs means you’ll have added confidence in facing up to the predicted bitter winter.
