Log Splitters

Let log splitters cut your firewood for you

When you think of garden power tools, log splitters may not be the first thing that comes to your mind, but a log splitter can help you handle your lawn and garden waste, as well as prep wood for your fireplace or outdoor decorating needs. If you have a heavily wooded property, a log splitter is the perfect alternative to paying someone to haul out your tree trunks, and you can save money on winter firewood. A log splitter from Sears is the perfect tool for taking care of downed trees and extra unwanted growth.

A good chainsaw or set of hedge trimmers should take care of getting the bulk of your trees and large bushes down, but you will need a log splitter or chipper to reduce your yard waste down to a manageable size afterward. Sears sells log splitters and a variety of chippers to help you process tree trunks, branches and other large piece of organic matter into something you can use later.

If you want to reduce your carbon footprint, processing and reusing your yard waste is the way to go. Logs can be converted to firewood, compost materials, yard decorations and mulch. You probably are most familiar with using your log splitter to evenly and quickly cut your logs into firewood pieces. A log splitter from Sears certainly takes some of the weight off your shoulders by doing the work for you. Otherwise, you might be stuck in the backyard with an ax for hours. While the split logs make very fireplace-friendly sized kindling and fuel, they can also be repurposed in other ways. Your log splitter cuts wood into the perfect-sized pieces to line your garden or walkway, giving your yard rustic and natural decoration that doesn't cost you any extra money.

Sears can help you find a log splitter that is perfect for cutting your yard waste small enough to fit in a chipper, shredder or mulcher. This way, you won't clog up the machine with a trunk that is simply too big to fit. The smaller pieces will be easier for your machine to manage, and you will still get perfectly uniform chips every time. Though it may seem like a lot of extra work, using your log splitter to help create mulch and compost actually reduces your carbon footprint because you won't have to pay for a company to transport and process the material for you. Plus, you won't have to run to the store the next time you need a bag of mulch.
