Powerful 2-Speed Electric Log Splitter (8-Ton) with Work Bench & Guard
The 2016 updated FM16D log splitter can produce up to a massive 8 tons in splitting force. It has a two-speed ram for soft or hardwood. When splitting softwood, pushing the operating lever halfway gives you the fastest speed with reduced force. When splitting hardwood, pushing the operating lever all the way down gives you the full 8 tons of force at a slower speed. The FM16 log splitter is heavy-duty in every way. The heavy-duty nature of the log splitter allows it to complete tasks which other competitor brands of log splitters can not. An example of this is that with competitor log splitters, the ram must stop 150mm short of the blade as it does not have the heavy-duty capability to split to the end. The FM16 make it easy to split logs the entire way and removes the physical aspect of having to rip logs apart at the end of the splitting process.
The FM16D is fitted with our trademarked DuocutTM blade that increases the efficiency of splitting and makes the log splitter much better at handling knotty wood than single-blade splitters. It also comes with a Ram-stop for reducing cycle time with short logs.
The heavy-duty FM16D was designed for long-lasting use and can handle logs up to 450mm in length and 400mm in diameter.
It comes filled with hydraulic oil ready for use.
The newest edition FM16TW log splitter comes with a workbench and guard to comply with all new safety regulations. Unlike the safety cages fitted by other manufacturers, our guard has sides with no openings so that split logs cannot catch in an opening and cause damage. Our guard will also accommodate logs up to 400mm* diameter whereas other manufacturers can only handle 250mm diameter.

This is a beast of a thing – Ive gone right thru the pile of knotty logs that had been put aside & its split the lot, even the oak burl – very impressed !
Does what it said it would. Only used it for one stack so far, but went through some tough 30cm old season logs no problem.
Not keen on stopping & starting the motor. It’s not good for a 240v motor. But apart from that, it’s great.
