10 Ton Boss Industrial Dual Action Electric Log Splitter (ED10T20)

Works well!!!
No problems!! Splitting oak logs easily.
Sometimes axel nuts come loose.
Would be helpful to have a remove able front wheel
As the splitter is heavy and awkward to move around.
All said very pleased with it!!
Customer service was great and helpful.
Order was placed and shipped right away.
We live in California and thought it would be a while
But it came in short time!!!

Thank you Wood Splitters!!!
Will definitely come back to buy from you again.

This splitter does the job for me. I wanted to put it to the test so I tried splitting some rather large logs that had several knots, and to my surprise, it went right through them. Glad I got the 4-way wedge too.

Great tool, and with the double action you don’t have to wait for piston to return. I would have given it a 5 star however due to the gear pump it does make a bit of noise. However on the noise level, with a gas splitter the 10 ton electric splitter gets a 5.

Very capable splitter. We have 60 plus pecan trees and limbs are falling year round. For the last three years, I've only been able to keep the smaller limbs for fire wood and burned the rest outside because I'm getting too old to chop any more. This will allow me to use larger logs for fire wood. Used it yesterday for the first time and am very pleased with this purchase.

Works great!

It splits fresh 18 inch long 12-14 inch wide oak no problem. Anything larger diameter I save for a sawmill. Any size softwood that you’re strong enough to get on it will split. The higher height vs normal log splitter saves your back. I built a shelter for mine that increases height + 6 inches and that’s perfect for being nearly 6 foot tall. This will get the job done unless you’re splitting 24 inch oak, which is basically too heavy for a single person to lift. There are charts out there saying you need a 20-30 ton for 12 inch green oak, but this thing will split it despite the 10 ton rating. Not sure what else to say other than I wish it was a little faster.

Great splitter, very well made, and easy to assemble. A little heavy to pick up a wheel around, but just tilt it back a little further and the weight transfers well and makes it much easier to move. I use a dedicated 20 amp breaker, heavy duty 20 amp receptacle, and a 25 foot 10-3 extension cord which are all critical components, and it works beautifully. You won’t have any problems with stall out or tripped breakers or damaging you splitter motor with the correct electrical setup. I’ve split everything from green and seasoned oak, green and seasoned pecan, elm, pine, cedar, hackberry and Chinese elm, and it just doesn’t stop. Some with diameters of 18 to 24 inches and again it’s no problem for the Boss 10 ton splitter. Do yourself a favor and get the four way wedge and split twice as fast. I find 10 to 14 inch diameter rounds are perfect for the four way wedge with nearly exact size splits. Larger diameters are easily split as well with the four way, but generally the larger top halves are split one more time. I simply pull off the wedge and place it in the side log racks and it holds it perfectly. A matter of a 2 or 3 seconds between taking off and putting it back on and splitting four way again. Fills up my wood cart fast with little effort and the height for me is just right with no back aches from bending all day. The dual action is really fast once you learn the rhythm of the splitter and your work flow. I find that rounds cut 18 inches long work best for me in terms of sure fit on the splitter and no wasted cutting of “air” during the process. In all it’s a great splitter and actually look forward to afternoons busting up some rounds and making my own firewood they way I want it for a change. Oh and do yourself a favor and get a log ox and picaroon to save your back and enjoy your day splitting wood without tiring out.

I think I posted a review of this splitter on "log splitters direct". I was recently on their site and realized they don't have the review posted. Then I realized I bought it from "wood splitters direct". My bad. Probably ticked off the other guys. Oh well. The main thing I wanted to show was the trailer I built so I can tow the splitter where I want it. I thought it might spark an idea for other DIY guys (and gals) out there. But alas, this site doesn't seem to allow pictures to be posted. Sorry guys. Otherwise, I agree with all the good things others say about the splitter. And my homemade trailer out of stuff I had around the shop solved the only negative I observed after splitting about 4 cords of hardwood in the winter of 2020.

Splitting wood with the sun! I am impressed with this machine. We live in an off grid home and are always looking for ways to use up extra power on sunny days, this is why we decided to try the electric splitter. I did have my doubts, would it have enough power? 14 inch diameter 18 inch lengths of standing dead pine did not load it at all. It looked top heavy in the photos, I was concerned the legs might be flimsy, happy to report it is rock solid. The log racks each side are strong and well designed. The shipping crate was surrounded by welded angle iron! It was very well protected for the trip. The small bit of assembly required was quick and painless. It is SOOOO nice to do this chore with the smell of split wood and the hum of an electric motor instead of listening to and smelling a gas engine. The hydraulic reservoir has a temporary plastic plug for shipping that you swap out for a dipstick/cap. If you pull the plug at 8,500 feet elevation you will get a face full of hydraulic fluid spray, use a rag to cover it. The shipping was super fast. My only (very small) issue was that Boss did not seem to get the shipping details to Woodsplitters Direct fast enough to let me know the thing was here! Thanks for the great service and machine

I bought the ED10T20 at the beginning of August (2019). Read all the reviews, watched all the Youtubes, and talked to the Woodsplitter folks. This felt like the splitter for me. It arrived via semi. Driver allowed me to unload it into the back of my pickup, and I was on my way.

The splitter was in proper working condition out of the crate. It was a chore for one person to uncrate as it is very heavy (over 200lbs.) it is very well made.

While waiting for the splitter I collected two standing beetle kill ash trees, most of a buckeye tree, a felled norway maple, and a good bit of a honey locust for a total of just under two cords of firewood. I started splitting on a Wed afternoon and finished splitting all that wood by Thursday eve.

Three things stood out in the process. 1) get the 4 way wedge. It's a time saver. It makes 8-10" logs a one pass split - done. It will split logs up to about 16 inches but there will be two little pieces and two big pieces after the first pass. The two big pieces will need to be split again. 2) The dual action split is a HUGE time saver! I soon learned to position the splitting wedge just so, so that as fast as I could move log, I could split it. This not only speeds the process but makes it fun. I split 18 rounds (up to 16") in less than 30 minutes. I thought that was pretty good. 3) The log racks are a must. These racks are a back saver.

The splitter jammed on two occasions. Both were when I was splitting the honey locust and when I was splitting a log that had a branch. It can't quite break that tough crotch wood. It DID split crotch ash and buckeye though.

Late in the splitting week I came into a bit of 14" round mulberry and it split that up without effort.

I am very impressed with this machine and look forward to next years splitting. I highly recommend the ED10T20. If you are considering the ED8T20 spend the extra money and get the 10. You won't regret it. The machine is quiet, efficient, and easy for one person to operate.
