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.

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.
