What Customers Are Saying

The Performance Built 27 Ton log splitter is a powerful and effective tool that can easily handle a wide range of log sizes, including those up to 24 inches in diameter and larger. Customers describe it as a "great" and "awesome" "work horse" that "splits like butter". The vertical splitting capability is particularly appreciated, as it allows users to split logs they cannot physically lift. However, some quality control and assembly issues have been reported, including missing or incorrectly installed parts, low fluid levels, and other problems that required additional effort to resolve. Additionally, the splitter can be quite loud during operation.

I've owned this splitter for 5 years and it's performed flawlessly. I've replaced the pull cord 1 time and the hydraulic suction hose.

Best bang for the buck. It hasn’t struggled with any log I’ve fed it. Customer service at YTL is great. Needed a 4 way wedge. They shipped it same day payment was processed.

Powerful efficient log splitter

Would Recommend

I liked that the splitter is a powerful unit, was easy to complete setting up and commence operating. It started easily and had no problem splitting a half-cord of wood in not much over an hour. What I didn't like was that this was a display model which had been sitting in front of the store for quite a few months. Several of the safety decals were faded to the point of being illegible, and the hydraulic hoses suffered some slight degradation as a result of UV exposure, though that would likely ...
