Have a nice Husqvarna saw and a big huge Stihl. I’d love to have one of those 16” Makita battery saws over dealing with those two when I need a saw. Maybe just me. Don’t use a saw that often-we don’t do much firewood. So it’s for around the yard stuff and emergencies and hunting a camping. The electric would work better for me.
@@getpower1 yeah that why we've moved to more electric things that don't get as much use etc. I was impressed with the saw and log splitter! I'd recommend them for sure.
I have an electric chain saw 16 inch. And other then getting the cord tangled up. I like it. I believe I will be getting a splitter also. I run my stuff off a generator
Why? A peace of mine! There a lot quitter than a noisy gasoline engine. There more dependable, cheaper, and lighter. The plus is there QUITTER. I got a 18" Oregon electric cord chainsaw. SHES A BEAST. Cuts any thing fast, easy, and very dependable 👍👍 Pull the trigger and it sharpen the chain. WOW SWEET > The chain is the most easiest to adjust and take off and on. I dearly LOVE IT
Mike: “Just got a new wood splitter! It says nothing over 10 inches. WELLLLL, let’s see how it does with this 27” log!!!” Lmao! Well done Mike. That’s pretty impressive. I think it’s definitely worth it. And Lynn, that was really sweet at the end! Hugs and pets to Piper and Guy🐾❤️🐾
Thanks Mike for the good info on an electric log splitter. Yours sure did the job and it’s something to think about for the same reasons you had to buy electric. 👍😃
I was really impressed with how it performed! I honestly didn't expect much from it, even though it has a ton of great reviews. Highly recommend it now!
OK Mike, you convinced me on the log splitter. Great video! Hang in there Lynn. Your RFO is almost over. Get plenty of rest. Been there, done that.....
I pretty much have all the 18 volt Ryobi stuff because I bought a combo set. Now I have the chain saw, leaf blower, hedge trimmer and weed wacker. I noticed some are more efficient than others. I like your chainsaw Mike. Mine only has a 10 inch blade. Splitter is cool.
Mike, I’ve watched all your videos. … I don’t even own an RV. Don’t even live in US. That all said, this video. This I could watch again and again!! Thanks for sharing. Living vicariously through your adventures! Hey to Piper and Guy!
I have had the DR 6 ton electric splitter for 10+ years. Works great on pine and soft hardwoods. Oak over about 6”-7” diameter bog down. For those I split with wedges and a sledge. Once they are broken down the splitter can handle them.
I love the useful things you guys find. I'm in the exact same situation. We can get free wood from time to time and can't justify a log splitter. Never even knew they made electric splitters.
Same here: Lots of free wood, occasionally harvest a tree or two myself, splitting just once or twice a year. Just found out about inexpensive electric splitters. This log splitter is $323 at Home Depot. I'm sold.
New tires plus an oil change! Mr Lumberjack is setting a high bar and he's ok. When one could have a spent $ on who needs flowers and candy for one's special day when one could have a slippery celebration with some 10-20W over sponge cake. 🤣
I used to go to the rental place and rented a towable log splitter for 4 hours, when I had my cabin in Wisconsin. I only needed it once or twice a year.
I bought an electric log splitter a bit over a year ago and I've split several cords of wood so far.. works great... a couple of things you will need to get if you don't have them already.. Hydraulic oil, a couple of wedges for when a log gets totally stuck in the splitter along with a 4 or 5lb hand sledge to send those wedges in.. a cheap pair of leather gloves to keep those friggin splinters a bay!!
Yes if I needed a chain saw or a log splitter I would definitely look at an electric one, a whole lot less maintenance. I don't know what kind of oil you run in the Wraith but I take a friend of mine drain oil from my bike (20W50) and my truck (5W20) and he uses it for bar oil. He cuts wood for a living and he's not gentle on any kind of machinery but he says the drain oil works fine. Just something to think about. Keep the good stuff coming.
Mike, nice new electric tools. I saw the boss made here appearance, Piper, did she approve? LOL. My dad built a gas log splitter years ago and it its job for a home user.
Piper wasn't too sure if it haha but she liked being out in the kennel area while I split it. I'm pretty happy with my purchases! Thanks for the comment👍🏻
@@WanderingWagners I have had one of these splitters for three or four years now, and bought the foot switch and a C clamp from Harbor freight and it has been doing a great job, I split about 6 cords each summer for my own use and it has done a great job, and it goes into the garage during the winter where I can use it to split kindling when I need to. I am 76 years old and getting ready for this summer of splitting, and I cut the trees, and haul the rounds home to split them in my back yard, that way if I get tired of splitting I can go inside and watch TV for awhile LOL
I cut wood with a friend and we use his gas splitter when it's running, but he has an electric backup splitter that we us sometimes too. I had all confidence in your Wen! LoL
I have a different brand. Motor runs all the time, have to hold down 2 handles at the same time to move the ram. I put a plastic pipe in a U shape over the handles . Works great.
For the money you can't go wrong with that splitter.. even if you only get a few years out of it. Knotty crotchy old mulberry ain't no joke and I really thought it was gonna stall the machine.
We split a decent amount of wood a few times a year. Usually a few trees. We use the wood we split for campfires throughout the year, but that doesn't mean it's overkill for us.
I’d buy the log splitter just based on the instruction manual haha humor goes a long way. I have a Dewalt electric saw and love it for small jobs. What kind of wood do y’all use? We use mainly oak and some pecan. Great video Mike🤙🏼 you too Lynn
Mike - check out the Carlton Hardware™ Firewood Drill Bit for wood-splitting on the go. You can use it when you are collecting firewood on site. As always - love your vids - all of them!!
Wow maybe thats the problem! I never talked to the log🤣. The splitter did pretty good for a 6 ton( I burned wood for 20 years so i have a gas one) but i still hate splitting wood👎. Damn thats a big ass battery! Good choice for the saw but not so good for one handed tools😮, Don't be spoiling Lynn to much now Mike😁
Now put it up on the back tail gate of your truck...your back will thank you! Also, go to Harbor Freight and buy and expandable C clamp, clamp that button in the on position and you will be splitting one handed!
Well that battery also powers my drill, impact, hedge trimmer, edge trimmer, work light, circular saw, pole saw, and chainsaw. And any future tools I purchase. You do have a point though, if that battery was only used for the chainsaw it wouldn't be the best investment.
My husband and I have a question. You have both Verizon and AT&T. We were wondering which one you prefer more? We currently have Verizon and are thinking of switching to AT&T. We sure appreciate your opinions.! Love you guys!! My husband said " Tell him when he gets our age , anything electric is the cat's meow!!"
We have all three (Verizon, at&t, TMobile) we used to all have Verizon then Mike switched to at&t and loves it! He has really decent coverage and speeds and it's much cheaper than Verizon. We'd recommend it! Lynn went to TMobile and really likes it too. Completely unlimited plan and can stream in 4k etc. Better coverage and speeds than we thought it would have and again it's cheaper than Verizon. We have been showing different cell speeds at each Park too too help people know where and what coverage they'll have in these areas as well. Hopefully that helps!
Hey guys out in your neck of the woods meaning Ohio from upper New York State was thinking about maybe trying to hook up with you guys for a day but this weather is horrible what is with the weather ? all the wind out here is that normal for Ohio
I guess you picked a battery chainsaw to take with you. I've been using a 120V chainsaw for many years and have not been stopped yet. I use a generator ,if needed, but am limited to the cord length,like you don't cut more than a few times a year plus mauls and wedges,and sledge. take care
@@WanderingWagners you must have been sitting on your page when I entered that,I ,on the other hand was checking more posts but finally noticed the mark to check back, enjoy your videos keep up the good work
Good video 😃 they are forcing everyone to go electric you don't use your equipment all the time you do not want to mess fuel mixing well see what happens and no more portable gas generators soon 🤔
It just makes more sense to have electric for a few tools you don't use frequently.. We also have an electric weed whacker and have for many years.. It works so much easier and better than gas and it's quiet! Haha
Hi chicos i hope doing well G bless you I see this videos it super thank you , but I mention your front Jeep Rotor no good you need to change for your safety Sorry but I am mechanic G bless you again and 100 % I like every Videos
I used to have a gas chainsaw but it sat most of the time so decided to go with electric this time since I don't plan to cut down a ton of trees, just little stuff like this here and there.
I got a new Electric 8 ton Power House for 91 dollars> No more engine power tools for me I'AM DONE WITH THEM. I went to CORD ELECTRIC TOOLS Even the electric log splitters/ Reason i went to a vertical horizon log splitter is? SAVE MY BACK LIFTING👍 Electric cord power tools are? Cheaper, lighter, more dependable. Want to go off grid? Get a 2k generator for them
@@WanderingWagners Some of the battery pack tools does impress me. But there pricy and more heavy / So i just stay with the cords. Plus i don't go buy brand names. There a lot of unknown brands, just as good as brand names
@@WanderingWagners I got a 18" Oregon electric cord chainsaw. SHES A BEAST. Cuts any thing fast, easy, and very dependable 👍👍 Pull the trigger and it sharpen the chain. WOW SWEET > The chain is the most easiest to adjust and take off and on. She does drink chain oil! Time i run out of chain oil > I'am done any way! Then its time to pick up the logs and things > This is the electric cord chainsaw to own bro YOU WOULD LOVE IT
How sweet. Mike is being a good house husband while Lynn is working 80+ hours a week - and while she is sleeping during the day, he is also buying toys in hopes that she won’t notice.
The Wen 6.5-ton log splitter is a waste of money. All the videos I have seen all are splitting “straight grain wood”. Come on really? Most all the wood I get for free is Not Straight Grain Wood! The last load of wood that I split with my Wen 6.5-ton splitter was sycamore 10 to 15” rounds. Both the wings broke off the log cradle and the oil started to leak out the back handle. The frame that supports the splitter kept leaning over and fell over numerus times. Even on a concrete pad or driveway the unit was very unstable. The two arms that pull the log into the wedge, bend, cutting down the power to do the split. In the Real World this splitter is not worth the money.
We've had 0 issues for any kind of wood. It cuts through knotty wood without issues. Even much bigger logs than they say to use on this splitter. We use it a few times a year and it's been amazing.
You laugh about keeping kids, pets and adults away from the log splitter. Wait until one of the logs explodes or splits and shoots out a piece of log at LEGAL FORCE. ☠☠ You want be laughing
Would you buy an electric log splitter or electric chainsaw? Leave a comment and let us know!👍🏻
I would if I was FT-RV, but for now I'll stick with my petrol-Saws.

Thanks for the comment, Lori!😊👍🏻
Thanks Mike for the good info on an electric log splitter. Yours sure did the job and it’s something to think about for the same reasons you had to buy electric. 👍😃
I was really impressed with how it performed! I honestly didn't expect much from it, even though it has a ton of great reviews. Highly recommend it now!
Ah ha! Mikey does “favors” so he can get toys. Good Plan!
Shh she'll never find it😂
Try and get some rest young lady. Thanks Mike for filling in and taking care of her.
Thanks for watching, Edith! Hopefully back to traveling soon🤞🏻
just got mine 4 days ago splits everything i put on it great splitter
Good to hear! I was really impressed by it
Awesome! Yes I would
Thanks!
That log splitter is awesome and is fun to watch operate. Nice score Mike!
Thanks! It did a much better job and I anticipated it would. Worth $300 for sure
OK Mike, you convinced me on the log splitter. Great video! Hang in there Lynn. Your RFO is almost over. Get plenty of rest. Been there, done that.....
The splitter honestly surprised me! Love the small footprint so it doesn't take up much space when not in use either.
Thanks for the information Mike.
No problem.👍🏻
I pretty much have all the 18 volt Ryobi stuff because I bought a combo set. Now I have the chain saw, leaf blower, hedge trimmer and weed wacker. I noticed some are more efficient than others. I like your chainsaw Mike. Mine only has a 10 inch blade. Splitter is cool.
Thanks, I was pretty impressed with how well it all worked! Electric tools are like kids toys where you can collect the whole set haha
Hahaha! Whoever wrote those instructions had a funny sense of humor!!! 🤣😂
Didn't expect to read that!😂 Made me like the splitter even more
Mike, I’ve watched all your videos. … I don’t even own an RV. Don’t even live in US. That all said, this video. This I could watch again and again!! Thanks for sharing. Living vicariously through your adventures! Hey to Piper and Guy!

Yeah Mike. Electric is great.
It's a great machine!
Thanks for the review on the power equipment u got Mike.n
Thanks for watching, Tony👏🏻
Good stuff Mike...looking like me with the buying of new toys.
I mean...I needed them😜
@@WanderingWagners Meant to ask: What did the log(s) say when you told them they were splitting up?
I have had the DR 6 ton electric splitter for 10+ years. Works great on pine and soft hardwoods. Oak over about 6”-7” diameter bog down. For those I split with wedges and a sledge. Once they are broken down the splitter can handle them.

It was fun to see how big of a log out would split! Of course not following the instructions😂

Great Job Mike,that splitter and saw are sweet ! Doing all that cool stuff for Lynn maybe she will get you a Hershey Bar !!
I hope I earned more chocolate🤞🏻🍫
Nice thanks
Working like a charm still!
I used to go to the rental place and rented a towable log splitter for 4 hours, when I had my cabin in Wisconsin. I only needed it once or twice a year.
That's a good option as well! Only this way I don't need to think ahead to reserve it and pick it up/drop it off.

It worked great, especially for the amount of use it'll have. But now we can get more wood from Lynn's parents and split it ourselves for the season
Agreed - Mike is a good husband and you're a wonderful wife - you two make an awesome team!! Blessings! 😇
Thank you! We do make a pretty good team😊

Electric is definitely the way to go.
So far everything we have that is electric has been really impressive!
I have a different brand. Motor runs all the time, have to hold down 2 handles at the same time to move the ram. I put a plastic pipe in a U shape over the handles . Works great.
Innovation! Love it
Have a WEN electric chainsaw, love the thing....time for a WEN splitter I guess haha.
Get the matching set! Haha
Now when you get to a park with low branches you can climb on the roof and trim the branches.
We'd have to get permission and all that first. Milwaukee actually makes a smaller handheld chainsaw that would be perfect for smaller branches though
@@WanderingWagners Sorry sarcasm., you would not want to risk damage to your rig doing that.

We've been very impressed with what it can handle. It's still going strong too.
I'm looking at this for splitting a cord or more not just for a campfire. Either this is overkill for you or not what i need lol.
We split a decent amount of wood a few times a year. Usually a few trees. We use the wood we split for campfires throughout the year, but that doesn't mean it's overkill for us.
I’d buy the log splitter just based on the instruction manual haha humor goes a long way. I have a Dewalt electric saw and love it for small jobs. What kind of wood do y’all use? We use mainly oak and some pecan. Great video Mike🤙🏼 you too Lynn
Agree! It was a welcomed surprise and made me like it even more😁
This was part of a buckeye tree that was cut down at Lynn's patents house
I am going to make my prediction before the log splitter starts. It will get your wood split with no problem.
You'd be correct! It really surprised me how easily it split some of those big logs too
Bleed screw should be left unscrewed until done with use.
Thanks!
Mike - check out the Carlton Hardware™ Firewood Drill Bit for wood-splitting on the go. You can use it when you are collecting firewood on site.
As always - love your vids - all of them!!
Great idea for splitting on the go👍🏻 thank you!
I would put a continues on witch on it
I'm sure that's an option but we don't mind using it as is
Mike, order the foot switch it is so much better.
That's a great idea!
WEN is we’re we bought our generator great price
Good to hear
You need to check out the dewalt battery chainsaw
We have the Milwaukee battery chainsaw
Wow maybe thats the problem! I never talked to the log🤣. The splitter did pretty good for a 6 ton( I burned wood for 20 years so i have a gas one) but i still hate splitting wood👎.
Damn thats a big ass battery! Good choice for the saw but not so good for one handed tools😮, Don't be spoiling Lynn to much now Mike😁
Yeah for as much as I'll use it, it's a good buy! Did a lot better than I anticipated too. Talking to the log must be what helped it split easier😂
I own 2 electric chain saws and usually will use them before I break out my gas chain saw.
I was pretty impressed with what it could do!
Now put it up on the back tail gate of your truck...your back will thank you! Also, go to Harbor Freight and buy and expandable C clamp, clamp that button in the on position and you will be splitting one handed!
Great ideas for next time😊
Impressive little splitter.
I want to get the Dewalt chainsaw. So much simpler than dealing with my gas chainsaw.
It worked pretty good and with as much use as it'll get, electric is the way to go!
@@WanderingWagners I just watched the ProjectFarm vs videos for them. For light duty occasional use they are awesome.
I bought a nice Stihl gas chainsaw new for $219. I can't imagine the logic to spend more than that on just a battery, for an electric one.
Well that battery also powers my drill, impact, hedge trimmer, edge trimmer, work light, circular saw, pole saw, and chainsaw. And any future tools I purchase. You do have a point though, if that battery was only used for the chainsaw it wouldn't be the best investment.
Ummm I see ya got your official steel toed socks on ta test the new saw
And I lived to tell the tale
I have electric log splitter still in box. Never opened
This one is great!
Say hi to Homer, Lenny and Carl for me.
Sure thing😂
A year later... are you guys still happy with the Wen splitter?
Yes! We've used it a handful of times and works flawlessly every time

Hey guys out in your neck of the woods meaning Ohio from upper New York State was thinking about maybe trying to hook up with you guys for a day but this weather is horrible what is with the weather ? all the wind out here is that normal for Ohio
The wind close to the lake is pretty normal, but it's usually worse in spring. Where abouts in Ohio will you be/when?
Elkhart In. Then Holmes county Ohio
We heat our house with wood so the Wen just wouldn't cut it. For occasional light duty campfire wood, electric would be the way to go.
Completely agree. It will work perfectly for what we need
I bought one. Either the log is too green or I don’t know what I’m doing.
We've cut green wood with it. It does take more effort but it still does what we need
I guess you picked a battery chainsaw to take with you. I've been using a 120V chainsaw for many years and have not been stopped yet. I use a generator ,if needed, but am limited to the cord length,like you don't cut more than a few times a year plus mauls and wedges,and sledge. take care
