BILT HARD 6 Ton Electric Log Splitter, 15Amp Horizontal Wood Splitter with Hydraulic Ram, Two-Hand Controls

UPS delivered box damaged. Box was covered in hydraulic fluid also. I had my doubts this thing would work just looking at how it was delivered. Took unit out and it was covered in hydraulic fluid. Rear guard was bent badly. Plug unit in and motor just hums and eventually pops the breaker when it gets too hot (safety feature at least that works). Asked for refund and UPS is scheduled to pick it up. I don’t blame Amazon but how can UPS deliver a package that anyone can clearly see is damaged and leaking fluid? I didn’t ask for replacement bc it will just happen again. I’ll go to Harbor Freight and buy one. Always Risky to buy something this big and heavy online. This is the 2nd damaged product I had to return and UPS was the carrier.

I’ve been using this splitter for about 2 hours now. Trying to split White Ash, 6” wide by 12” long. Splits 2 year old pieces like a hot knife through butter. This machine is useless on last summers logs. Forget about splitting fresh wood, won’t even bite. From the pics, you can see that it’s leaking oil, the hydraulic handle guard came bent from the box and a pic of the log size I’m trying to split and of course failed. I’m writing this in real time while taking a break. I’m gonna attempt a few more pieces of wood, before calling this a piece of junk and sending it back.

Not at all what it seems to appear to do! Not worth the money

The rubber tires come off the plastic rims when rolling unit around. So I plan to change the wheels with single molded rubber wheels. Other than that this is a good economy splitter.
