Super Handy GUO077 Portable 20 Ton Gas Powered Log Splitter New

This review might be a little long but stay with it. A good friend of mine purchased this splitter a couple years ago and was extremely happy with it. After checking out many options, and reading the customer reviews, I made the purchase. It arrived on time with only slight damage. The plastic funnel was shattered. I contacted support and after sending them pictures of this $4.00 item, a new one is in transit. You need the long narrow spout on the funnel so I purchased one at Harbor Freight as I wanted to split some wood.
As many reviews indicated, the instructions are not user friendly. It took me a couple hours assembling the unit paying careful attention to making sure the connections were very tight to eliminate any leaking.
I used the unit today. It started on the 2nd pull. I split close to a full cord or hard and soft wood (hemlock) without any issues. Overall, I can't say enough about this unit.
My only recommendation is to read and carefully follow all the instructions including before actually trying to split wood, having the hydraulic pump go back and forth 10 to 15 times then adding more hydraulic fluid.

Awesome

So far im very impressed on the SuperHandy 20 ton log splitter. I split atleast a half cord. And it splits well on hard wood. Assemly and instructions are very easy to follow. You will have to order your engine oil and hydrolic oil separately. I recommend purchasing this easy to move powerful splitter!

Received the unit two weeks after the order date. The splitter was in good condition and was assembled with simple hand tools. The compact size made the splitter easy to move about and will make storage easier. Started splitting maple logs first with an average 8 inch diameter and worked my way up to 24" ash logs. The splitter had no problem with any of it. In fact the ash logs were so big I built a makeshift ramp to roll them up to the beam. It does help to position some logs laying butt down near the beam to catch splitting logs for easier re-splitting.

Have not owned a log splitter before. Assembly fairly straightforward, though the attachment of the main fluid hose could be more robust. Hose clamp slipped off today, and I lost most of the hydraulic fluid. Up until that point, though, I was very impressed with the ease of starting and the power. The issue others mention with the ram not going far enough is easily addressed by slipping another perpendicular log in to push the main log all the way through the wedge. It does what I need it to do overall, and it's reasonably portable. Would purchase again.

Received product in about a week after initial order date, main beam was damaged. Send it back, and still waiting on the replacement been over 2 weeks since I ordered this splitter. Customer was good.
