I bought my splitter; it is a Mighty Mac made by Tilton. Good little machine; one piece of advice when you go to make or by a splitter. Get one with the wedge on the piston and the stop on the end of the machine - with this set up the log stays put, so for those that need more than one split you just back out the wedge, turn the log and split again. Much easier and faster than having to pick up the pieces on the ground, or even to pull them back into place if the splitter has a table on the end.

I bought mine in the early 90s and could not find a horizontal machine on the market set up this way, so I had to modify it myself, which was a lot of work. With the internet now, it is easy to find horizontal models set up this way.

With regard to splitting by hand, try my technique of binding several logs with a rope to hold them up as you split - you will be amazed at how much easier and quicker it is. Just be careful not to break the handle, as you probably know, good replacemet wooden handles are not cheap these days (they can even be hard to find!)
