Forest Master FM10TW-7 7 Ton Duocut Electric Log Splitter with Stand Reviews

4.7 Rating 11 Reviews
Read The Green Reaper Reviews

Log-splitting experts Forest Master have upgraded the immensely popular FM10TW to produce seven ton of force for splitting harder woods such as oak.
As the FM10TW-7 has two pressure contact points instead of one, the seven ton splitting performance is increased to split logs equivalent to a 14 ton machine. The duocut blade allows the log splitter to be twice as effective as similarly rated electric log splitters with a traditional pusher and with the ability to split from either end, the machine can cope with even knotty wood. In addition, it is fitted with a ramstop that reduces the return distance and time when splitting shorter logs.
The Forest Master FM10TW-7 is powered by a 2200 watt electric motor and is capable of splitting logs up to 460mm in length and 500mm in diameter. Safety is paramount thanks to the simultaneous button and lever operation making it impossible to operate single handed, so it is fully compliant with the latest regulations.
The integral stand gives the most comfortable working height and the unique lockable front caster wheels allow the log splitter to be moved and set up with very little effort.

Great service and delivery from 'The Green Reaper' with regular email updates on delivery too. As for the product: FM10TW-7, I went for this model due to it having the extra load (7 tons) and also came with the stand. The unit is heavy (total 53kg) so the trolley helps move it around easily. The instructions to set it up are very poor in detail and had to try and make out half of it by studying the pictures instead. Once set up however, it makes very light work of logs varying from all sizes up to 500mm wide. Only down side was that I purchased the separate platform with guard rails off the manufacturer direct to save having to continually pick up the split logs from the floor but just under an hour of use, the platform came away from it's bolt fixing above the release handle. This was down to two main factors, the small bolts were cheap and the thread had gone on them and they had also taken out the thread inside the hole that the bolts fixed into. This was due to it being a soft metal casting. A very poor design fault really considering the forces applied during it's operation. Other than that though, the unit itself is great and does the job with ease, so would highly recommend it. Would've rated it Very Good if it wasn't for the instructions and bolts / platform failure.

Hi Peter Thank you for taking time to leave a review. We were not aware you had an issue with the log splitter - if you want to email a photograph of the broken part to customerservices@thegreenreaper.co.uk quoting your order number, I am sure we can arrange for the manufacturer to send you a replacement part. We look forward to hearing from you. Kind regards Nicki

Really glad I purchased with the stand. Easier and faster than using just a splitting axe. Dissapointed with some slight damage (during transit possibly) to the frame but this has not affected how it works.

As other people have commented the assembly instructions are poor. The stand is a bit flimsy and could have done with being made of stronger steel. Having said that the log splitter does its job very well, it's an impressive piece of equipment and I am pleased that I bought it. It was also a very good service from the supplier.
