Choosing the Right Log Splitter

It is also important to consider your budget. Log splitters range in price from around $100 to $500. The Kindling Cracker XL King Firewood Splitter is an affordable log splitter.
Finally, consider the features that are important to you. Some log splitters have additional features such as adjustable log cradles, safety guards, and wheels. The Kindling Cracker XL King Firewood Splitter is a manual log splitter, so it does not have any additional features.
