Ratings & Reviews for CRAFTSMAN 27 -Ton 196-cc Horizontal and vertical Gas Log Splitter with KOHLER Engine

Best option within my price range

Day one: I assembled it myself to make sure it was done right. Day two: started by splitting a cherry tree I cut down. Day 3: split some hickery that was given to me that finish off my 3.5 ricks for the weekend. Slowed down on some of the larger (20+ inch) logs of cherry but finished the job much better than expected. Happy with my purchase.

Wood splitter

Second one, same issue!! Hitch would Not release to allow hook up to ball.

log Splitter

Hitch would Not release to work properly. Wouldn't pull back to mount to ball.

Easy to use

Very easy to use and has a lot of power.

I am a city boy moved to the country and this is baby does a ton of work. Never quits and powers though even the sickest old rounds.

Junk

Selling used equipment as new

The product itself was fine. The problem was that Lowe's sent me a "floor model" that had obvious damage to it without asking if I wanted a "floor model" at a discount. They are essentially selling used equipment as new, without warning. What showed up was a splitter that had been left out in the sun and rain for god only knows how long, with rust and pitting evident on the metal and plastic parts.

broke from day one

I purchased it about 2 weeks ago , Had to put it together my self, very satisfied with it. Hasn't balked at anything I split with it, starts on first pull.

Splitter is good, but Lowe’s assembly is terrible!

C’mon Lowe’s! This is a very good wood splitter but your assembly was terrible. It was done by someone who didn’t even try to do a good job. A manager needs to check these before they leave the store. The engine mounting nuts were just started onto the bolts. The same for the big bolts attaching the I beam to the frame. All hydraulic lines were barely hand tight. And no fluids were added, i had to ask for the oil and hydro fluid. So, after going through the splitter myself, it seems to be a well...

Pricey but you get what you pay for.

Great build, quality welds, good paint, and very good assembly, good qualitiy engine.

Not such a good deal

The wood splitter was brand new, but it was missing a lot of little parts, such as all sticks, boats, and filters who would’ve thought buying a new wood splitter and you had to look for missing parts. This one for me was a loss.

very powerful

so far so good
