## Description

Remember when you had 13,000 pounds of log-cracking pressure all in the palm of your hands? Quickly transform logs into firewood with the WEN 6.5-Ton Electric Log-Splitter with Stand. This unit features a powerful 15-amp 2.5 horsepower motor to make easy work of logs up to 10 inches in diameter and 20.5 inches in length. Install the included stand to elevate the cradle 34 inches off of the floor or assemble the wheels directly to the body of the log splitter for a low-profile design that sits directly on the ground. Forget the hassles and expenses that come with gasoline-powered alternatives. An electric log splitter means you will never have to worry about cold starts or clogged carburetors again. With a 20-second cycle time, a 14.75-inch cylinder stroke, a 16-square-inch push plate, and a 5-inch wedge, you’ll be able to take on even the hardest of woods. Two-handed operation maximizes user safety while the fume-free design eliminates carbon monoxide and other toxic emissions. Easily transport your splitter from the shed to the forest with the onboard pull handle and the two never-flat 5.5-inch wheels. And, because it’s a WEN product, your log splitter comes backed by a two-year warranty, a nationwide network of skilled service technicians and a friendly customer help line. Remember when you had enough firewood to keep your family warm all winter? Remember WEN.

Review: The grace of a ballerina and the power of a wrestler! - As a seasoned wood splitter, I must say the WEN 56208 6.5-Ton Electric Log Splitter is the best sidekick I could ask for. Not only does it handle my wood-splitting chores with the grace of a ballerina and the power of a wrestler, but it also gives me a good sense of satisfaction every time I use it! Firstly, let's talk about build quality. This machine is sturdier than my determination to tell dad jokes at family gatherings. I've used it extensively, and it's as reliable as my morning number 2's. Now, the power. Oh, the power! This log splitter tackles wood like it's going through a hot knife, and I'm talking about butter that's been left out in the sun on a hot summer day. It's so powerful, I half expect it to start splitting atoms next. Portability is another plus. It's easier to move around than convincing my friends to come over for a BBQ (and that's saying something). Whether it's from the shed to the yard or just repositioning it for a better angle, this splitter moves more smoothly than my best pick-up lines. The cherry on top? My loyalty to WEN products continues to grow. Each time I use this log splitter, I feel like it's whispering sweet nothings to me about quality and efficiency. It's become a trusty companion in my wood-splitting adventures, much like my favorite flannel shirt. In conclusion, the WEN 56208 Electric Log Splitter doesn't just split logs; it splits my face into a big, hearty smile every time I use it. It's a fantastic product that keeps the firewood - and the fun - flowing!
Review: A great splitter (with two minor gripes) - This thing made short work of the ash rounds that I had stacked up at my house - it's a beast. Assembly was straightforward and operation is simple and effective. I have two criticisms: 1) the metal plate that shrouds the rear operation lever is flimsier than the rest of the machine, which is a big issue becasue when you are checking the fluid levels the whole splitter is supposed to be tipped back to sit directly on that little plate. Poor design, this part should be reinforced! 2) the stopper ring that shortens the cycle of the splitter has to be REALLY cranked hard or it will scrape along the rod a bit with every split. This took some paint off which was disappointing. To stop it from moving I had to tighten it so hard I was worried it was going to break. Aside from these small design flaws it's a great machine for a great price. This is my 3rd WEN tool and probably won't be my last.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Why did I wait so long? BTW, purchase the pedal.
*by L***Y on March 28, 2022*

Don't be like me and wait too long to purchase this log splitter. Maybe you think somehow purchasing an electric log splitter makes you less of a man's man. Well, that's just nonsense. This little guy makes splitting logs a pleasure. You know that feeling when you get the right tool for the job and you think, "Why the heck didn't I know about this earlier." That was my sentiment after my first hour splitting logs. In the past, I haven't needed a log splitter because my wood was delivered split perfectly (I like quarter split wood myself). However, I've changed where I get my wood and though it is cheaper, about 50% of the logs need to be split. They are larger halved logs that just don't catch fire like the quarter split wood does. Enter, Wen log splitter. It works beautifully. Just a few words to make your experience better. First, purchase the pedal (WEN WA0392 120V 15-Amp Momentary Power Foot Pedal). You'll need a medium clamp to press and hold the green "on" button. When you clamp it down, then the pedal can be used to effectively, turn on/off the splitter. This frees up one hand. You still need one hand to engage the ram, but having a free hand feels safer to me. I use the splitter on the ground. It comes with a stand, but I don't use it. The pedal would be really handy if you decide to use the stand. I use the splitter according to the temperature guidelines. AKA, I don't run the machine unless it's above 40 degrees Fahrenheit. I'm sure you could change out the hydraulic fluid to run it colder, but that seems like a hassle. I did use the splitter on some hard wood. The hardwood was small chunks and it popped-out pretty good. Like a hard snap! Most of the wood I'm splitting is pine, and I don't have that problem. Just be careful with hardwood especially if it's gnarly (with any splitter.) When I would split with an axe, I wasn't very good at aiming with power. With this gem, I can make kindling out of a few logs, especially if you set the wood against the wedge rather than against the ram. If you set your wood against the ram, the log can shift as it approaches the wedge. Seasoned guys probably know this, but I didn't and there was a strange satisfaction watching the wood move toward the wedge... Soon I started pinning the wood against the wedge and haven't looked back. My wood comes 16" long, so the logs fit spaciously between the ram and wedge. There's a little locking washer/nut that allows you to adjust how far back the ram slides. This allows you to stop the ram from sliding all the way back if your logs are all 16" long. Saves a little time and is, again, oddly satisfying. For the price and function, you just can't beat this guy. I'm just a homeowner, not some logger, homesteader, and mountain guy. If I can use this, so can most of you. I have two wood burning stoves. One is a fireplace insert and the other is free-standing. in case you were wondering. I go through about 2 cords a winter. Good luck, stay warm and be safe.
