For the shorter logs, I use a good, straight piece of wood as a spacer and it's worked great. You have to be careful that the spacer doesn't cause the log to pop out and become a flying projectile. In fact Snow Joe doesn't recommend this approach, so do this at your own risk!
I've done about 5 logs so far, and will finish these trees in a few days. It's easy to use and doesn't hurt my back the way swinging an axe does. The satisfying sound of the log cracking in half is music to my ears. I just go ahead and split a log down to 6-8 pieces suitable for use in my small wood stove. Takes about 5-10 minutes per log.
I think for the price, this machine is pretty good. The electric and gasoline splitters are way more expensive and inconvenient. If you're doing large scale splitting, like to produce several cords of wood, this might be insufficient and you need to consider shelling out $300-$500 for a motorized heavy duty splitter, but for casual use like chopping up a single tree, the Snow Joe is pretty close to ideal.
The worrisome thing is that several of the reviewers report defective units, like the knobs breaking off or the piston suddenly failing to work. But so far, my unit has worked great. It stores upright in the garage and takes up very little space.
It does have wheels, and you have to be somewhat in shape to haul this thing around, but it's not that hard, not harder than pulling a heavy mower around for example. I don't try to take it down to where the wood is at the rear of the yard; the wheels seem too small and it seems like it would end up just getting dragged through the soft dirt and mud, and then I have to drag it back up the hill to the garage. So I just wheel it out onto the driveway, and wheelbarrow my logs back and forth. For the amount I have, this works out great.
If you have a pretty big pile of logs, though, you may need to load this thing onto a hand cart to wheel it to where the wood is, and maybe lay it down on a 2-by-4 or a plank of plywood for stability. I've noticed it will rock back and forth while you are working the levers, if it's set on an uneven surface, so you do need to make sure it's on a flat, level surface.
Not much else to say about this. In a couple of months I'll probably add more oil, if the instructions are accurate, and if that is problematic, I'll add a note about that here. Otherwise... it's time to "make like a banana and split"!!!
That said, you will still get somewhat of a workout, but nothing like swinging a sledgehammer onto a wedge. This thing splits log’s great and will also split logs much larger than that advertised. As me how I know!
One of the biggest drawbacks to this product is the “wheels”. They are tiny and work well for rolling the splitter around on concrete. That’s it. Do not expect to roll this around the yard. I found the best way to use this is to find a nice level spot, put it there and then bring the logs to it to be split. The wheels are great for rolling it back into the basement or garage and maneuvering it to and from it’s storage position. In the dirt, the tiny wheels just sink and you are dragging it around.
Overall, very pleased with my purchase and I have a huge stack of firewood now for next year!
Admittedly, I push this unit hard. We are surrounded by New England hardwood (maples and oaks, mostly), and when an 80+ year tree falls, you need to bust it up. I find that as long as I can balance the log on the spiitter, I can usually catch enough of an edge to get it done even if it takes a couple of passes, cutting it into quarters or thirds ... whatever the wood will offer.
The operation is quiet and powerful. It produces a very satisfying 'pop' or 'thump' when the log finally relents. And although it can take some elbow grease on logs over the recommended size, it is still way easier than slinging a sledgehammer or maul.
I only have two observations about the design that could be improved:
1. The unit has two very undersized wheels that, except for the shortest trips on the most level surface, are basically useless. If I need to transport it to the where I need it in the yard, I use a wheelbarrow.
2. The right-angle chute brackets are a poor design choice. They sit at right angles to the movement of the wood you are splitting. That basically guarantees that they will get caught on knots and knurls in the wood, causing them to twist and break. But that can be remedied (see photos)
* Normal wear and tear involved the 'chute' brackets bending and tearing off under the force of the piston. I will post a picture of how I asked a local welder to repair and modify the original design ... one I shared with the Logger Joe team (but they have not implemented).

We have EFFORTLESSLY split logs as large as 16" in diameter so far. I will mention that our logs are WELL WEATHERED and dry! They are READY to split. I would not use this splitter on newly fallen logs.
Other reviewers have complained of the unit being SLOW. Most of our logs are cut to approximately the same length, so as long as I only retract the piston far enough to get the next log in (rather than all the way back), it makes pretty quick work of splitting. Retracting the splitter is very quick (it has springs on both sides to facilitate retraction). It is slow to pump OUT the piston, so I retract as little as possible between splits to make work quicker.
This unit is very easy to use, nearly anyone could split wood with this unit.
When there are two of us working together, we do not use the axe except for making kindling. We do all the splitting with this machine.
I feel like professional lumberjack splitting even the toughest and stringiest pieces of wood. It beats using an ax hands down and it is fun to do. The manual labour is minimal and 10 tons is more then enough to do any job. The left lever moves the piston faster near the log and the right lever makes it easier to effectively split the wood. I made a couple of extension blocks so that I can tackle the shorter logs without problems.
The LJ10M is well constructed considering it is made on a budget in China. It is quite heavy and it has small wheels to manoeuvre it around. It works right out of the box, no assembly required. Shipping was quicker then expected considering it was free.
Shipping was free and quicker then expected.
It would be a 5-star review if the splitter could accomodate longer (20" long) logs...
As it is, id does the job of splitting the logs, even thicker than intended (I am able to split about 16" thick logs).
With no electricity, it can be used anywhere where the pile of logs is, and provides a decent exercise when splitting hardwood (e.g. maple). One can barely notice an effort when splitting soft wood (spruce) - long lever handles enable an effortless job.
Please note: the splitter would not work on wet logs. Logs must be fairly dry before splitting.
The unit is heavy, so to move it around an extra help or a pull-up trolley may be required. Wheels on one side of the unit are useless out of paved surfaces.
I added a 2.5" hardwood block to the end of the hydraulic ram to give more range because my firewood is only 15- 16" long. To do this I just drilled one hole on the top side of the ram and there are two notches below that are perfect for securing a block like this with screws. If I ever get longer firewood then I just remove the three screws and I have the full capacity of the machine again.
Service from both Amazon and Sun Joe is fantastic. Product was in my hands less than 48 hours after ordering it from Amazon.ca - a shipping distance of about 600 km. 10 day delivery was promised - a definite beat of expectations in my book.
There was a small leak of hydraulic fluid when I first used the Logger Joe the day after receiving it. Sun Joe immediately offered to ship me a brand new one and pay return shipping on the defective unit. As it weighs 87 lbs, I was not looking forward to trying to package it up for return shipment, so I had a closer look at it, and isolated the leak to a threaded joint at one of the pumps - I simply tightened the joint and the leak stopped. Simpler solution to a simple problem, but I was impressed that Snow Joe was prepared to ship me a replacement unit immediately.
