I've had it for a year now and here's my take. For the money it does what it is rated for and then some! I've split logs as big as 27 inches in diameter with no problem. All I need to do is split a chunk off and the rest usually splits apart with ease. I recommend buying the tray attachment and buying or making a table for it to raise it to a comfortable level. Yes it will run into the occasional unsplittable chunk but again for the cost and convenience I think it works extremely well. I split at least 15 cords so far and I'm very pleased with this little guy! If I could afford a gas unit I'd get one but so far this is my splitter. I try not to buy as much wood as possible and rely on my scrounging ability and checking craigslist often. I split a wide variety of wood with no notable problems. Would I buy another DR splitter? In a heartbeat!! This is only my 2nd year splitting and burning wood for heat and thanks to this forum for all the great knowledge and insight. I love coming to this site reading and learning all I can about wood heat and all it entails.
