What is a log splitter?

Log splitters are machines or tools designed to split firewood from logs that have been pre-cut into sections. They work by applying force to drive a log through a sharp wedge, either manually, hydraulically, or electrically powered. Log splitters significantly reduce the physical effort and time required compared to splitting logs with an axe. They come in various sizes and types suitable for both home and commercial use, making wood processing safer and more efficient.
