External Air Regulator
There is no need for an external air regulator.
How Does It Work
The Mini Splitter works with a foot or hand operated hydraulic bottle jack. It forces the log against an adjustable razor sharp wedge therefore splitting the log in two. The stroke of the jack rasies 6 inches. In most cases because of the design of the wedge, the stroke will only need to raise 2 inches before the wood pops.
How Long Does It Take
Dry wood will pop, crack or fly out of the Mini Splitter in under 10 pumps. Wet, splintery wood will require more pumping. Recommended using on dry wood.
Log Splitter W/O Jack
We do not have the ability to sell the Log Splitter without the jack. However, some people do purchase the Log Splitter and remove and replace the jack themselves.
Quality Jack
A firm commitment to the highest quality and optimum safety makes the entire product line
know for its quality and construction based on the conceopt of "easy use and safety".
Features: Welded steel construction throughout - reduces metal fatigue allowing for a
longer use life. Unique base forging method increases resistance to high pressure and gives a degree of durability and performance not found in any other comparable product.
Can be used in upright, angle and horizontal position. Rust is prevented by the use of a special type of steel giving excellent durability characteristics. Casing, cylinder and base are joined by electric welding for greater strength and are leak proof. Needle valve allows for controlled lowering of the ram. Heat treated extension screw provides extra lift, extra strength.

Sharpen The Wedge
The wedge should never require sharpening because it never comes in contact with
the platform slide. It slices through the wood and should remain sharp as long as it is not
misused.
