log splitter
Firewood preparation machine
A log splitter is a machine that cleaves firewood logs into smaller pieces, replacing the manual work of an axe and maul.
Most use hydraulic force to drive a wedge through the wood: We rented a log splitter to get through the cord of oak.
Manual, electric, and gas-powered versions exist, ranging from homeowner tools to commercial equipment.
