Brave stryker log splitters Stryker log splitters by Central Boiler offer quality workmanship second to none.

A wide range of self-contained, 3-point hitch and skid-steer mount models are available with options for log lifters, a 3-inch knife extension, extended stroke lengths up to 48 inches, and a lighting package.

Dosko DR RapidFire log splitter Ordinary log splitters are painfully slow and make log splitting needlessly time-consuming. The DR RapidFire works differently from hydraulic log splitters — it uses kinetic power, harnessing the power of 2 massive flywheels and a rack- and-pinion system to pop logs open at a rapid pace. And with auto-retraction, it's instantly ready to reload — no more waiting. The DR RapidFire will work as fast as it can be fed. With a full-cycle time of just 3 seconds, the RapidFire makes quick work of even tough logs. DR Power Equipment, a division of Country Home Products, Inc. Earthquake's W1200 5-ton electric log splitter Earthquake's W1200 5-ton electric log splitter is a versatile, compact, clean and powerful unit. Close the doors, crank up the heat, and breathe deep; that's the difference the W1200 makes. Indoors or outdoors, the light, incredibly portable splitter can take on the big logs with the ease of clean, breathable power. Without the worries of transporting messy gas, the W1200 can go from the lake to the woods in the trunk of a car or hatchback. A generator, in a pinch, can power the 120-volt motor. According to Web-submitted testimonials and customer feedback, consumers assert that the convenience of electric power and the log splitter's versatility make this unit hard to beat.

Earthquake's cs4518B consumer chain saw Earthquake Powered Chore Equipment recently announced increased distribution of its CS4518B consumer chain saw.

This solid, dependable saw works well for basically any work around the yard, and its features take the chore out of the work. For example, the anti-vibration system reduces user fatigue and makes it easier to work longer. The easy-access air filter allows for simple maintenance, without the added frustration. Simplicity continues with the CS4518B's easy chain adjustment, for on-the-go tension fixes, and its adjustable auto chain oiler.
