A log splitter is a piece of machinery or equipment used for splitting firewood from softwood or hardwood logs that have been pre-cut into sections (rounds), usually by chainsaw or on a saw bench. Many log splitters consist of a hydraulic pump or electric motor which then powers a hydraulic or electrical rod and piston assembly.
Here, the log is simply forced into a wedge that splits the round into anywhere between two and sixteen pieces, depending on the size of the logs and the intended market. Multitek North America patented a 16 way, box head splitter which can handle up to 18 inch diameter logs. [2]
