The WEN 56206 6-Ton Electric Log Splitter quickly turns that pile of wood into something useful-firewood for your fireplace! Safer and more productive than swinging an ax! Our heavy-gauge welded-steel construction handles all of your log-splitting demands. A powerful 2 hp 15-amp motor applies up to 12,000 pounds of force, effortlessly splitting any log under 20.5" in length and 10" in diameter. A 4" by 4" push plate connected to the 15-1/2" ram pushes logs into the 4.5" wedge, splitting the wood quickly and efficiently. For safety purposes, WEN designed this operation to require both hands. Removal of a hand returns the ram to its starting position, decreasing the chance of bodily injury. The electric power allows for lower maintenance costs and indoor usage without worries of exhaust fumes. No gas to run out. No batteries to change. Just plug it in and go! The splitter includes convenient comfort-grip handles and 6" tires to easily transport to your work area when necessary. Use up to a 50' twelve-gauge extension cord. Includes AW32 hydraulic oil to fill the 2.8-quart reservoir. Use Dextron auto transmission fluid for operations below 40 degrees Fahrenheit.
