Be prepared: three top log splitters on special offer

The sun has emerged at long last so this may be the start of summer.
But this is also the ideal time to start work on the log pile for the coming winter.

Logs split now will have a few months to dry out before they’re burned and so we have three splitters which you should to consider from top European company Einhell.
The Einhell BT-LS 44 Electric Log Splitter will save hours of work swinging an axe and can handle logs up to 250 mm diameter and 360 long.
The 1500 watt motor powers a hydraulic ram to force the wood against a splitting wedge
You need both hands to operate the machine and there is a protective shield surrounding the mechanism making it a really safe machine.
Strong wheels and a transport handle make it easy to move around and solid legs give added stability.
The recommended retail price for this model is £299.99 but we have it for sale for just £169.
There is free next working day delivery and a two year manufacturer’s warranty.
Another on special offer is the Einhell BT-LS 65U Electric Log Splitter, a machine which gives great performance and at a good price.
The design means you can operate the machine while standing and uses a hydraulic ram with 5.5 tons of pressure to force logs against a splitting wedge, so it can deal with twisted hard woods.
This too has a safety device so that you need both hands to operate it and there is a limiter which protects the machine from being over loaded and eliminates possible damage this could cause.
A tubular frame and transport wheels mean the sturdy splitter is easily moved around.
This machine is on special offer for £229.95 compared with the manufacturer’s recommended price of £379.99.
There is a two year manufacturer’s warranty and free next working day delivery.

And finally from Einhell comes a big daddy of a log splitter, the Einhell BT-LS 610 Log Splitter.
This is a vertical splitter engineered to deal with logs from 320 mm in diameter and 1040 mm long and can be adjusted to three working heights with a steel splitting bench.
Plastic slides between the splitting column and guide tube mean it is very easy and quick to adjust the height.
This one has a splitting force of 6 tons and is powered by a 2200 watt motor and the logs are firmly held by plates and clamps. You need both hands to operate it and there is an overload trip switch and an emergency stop switch as well.
Transport wheels and a handle make it easy to move around.
Currently on special offer it is for sale for just £439.95 and that’s over £250 off the manufacturer’s recommended price.
Delivery is free within two to three working days and there is a two year manufacturer’s warranty.
The last thing you want to think about is winter especially as summer has only just about arrived and lawns and flower beds need a huge amount of work after all the rain.
But it pays to be prepared in the garden especially with our climate and a well-stacked log pile will be a welcome sight when winter does arrive.
