The Little Splitter Works Quite Well.
By BB on Reviewed in the United States on January 30, 2025
Easy to assemble, started on first pull, has plenty power to cut thru 16" dried hardwood rounds. All manuals and assembly guide were with the splitter. Every assembly nut, bolt, and washers were present. About an hour to assemble. Received the splitter within 24 hours. No idea about longevity, it works great, plenty fast, and doesn't labor when splitting. I looks like quality welds and finish. My only thoughts are that the knife is welded on and I have no idea how long it'll last, it'll be tedious to replace. That said, it has plenty 'meat' for sharpening. Arrived well packaged. Seems quite the value for the price vs 20 power. I'll add that when using the splitter, stand aft of the ram, halfs fall off the bed and will ruin your day.

Arrived Unuseable
By Susan P. Martin on Reviewed in the United States on September 1, 2022
Splitter arrived in good condition. Reasonably clear assembly directions. I was able to assemble myself without much hassle. Arrived without engine manual. Once assembled and proper fluids added, the problems began. Motor would not start despite following directions in correct engine manual I found online. Went straight to flooded. Making a spark, good compression by thumb test. Fuel making it to cylinder. Fuel straight from gas station; fresh. Neighbors had a crack at it too and same result. ?Engine switch bad? Called number on unit (Great Circle USA). They suggested that I was using fuel with too much octane. That sounded like horse manure to me, but I drained the gas and replaced it with 87 octane fuel. Nothing changed. Behaved the same. Called Great Circle back; they requested I send them a video of me trying to start the unit. I did so almost a week ago and have heard nothing. Called them today and was told by a different guy that they are swamped with these kinds of calls (RED FLAG). They said I should be hearing back in the day day or 2 about disposition. The thing looks surprisingly solid and well-built. But serves me right for thinking this was a good idea to begin with. We'll see. Wish me luck. Update: Great Circle has never gotten back to me. Amazon refunded my money so at least that's good.
