What BIG RED promises

The seller states, word for word, in the BIG RED ATGS012-1 Torin Manual Splitter listing:

  • The 12 ton hydraulic log splitter can split logs up to 17.7 in long and 7.9 in diameter (Depending on wood density).
  • Handles of this wood splitter are 37 in with two speeds creating plenty of leverage and with ultimately safety you could work together with kids.
  • The manual log splitter doesn't need a gasoline engine or electric motor helping you eliminate exhaust emissions.
  • The log splitter is constructed of precision laser-cut steel frame design without gas, oil or cords.

Our take

The verdict

The best thing about the BIG RED ATGS012-1 Torin Manual Splitter is 12 tons from a hand pump. No buyer reviews yet, so this BIG RED manual hydraulic splitter has to win you over on paper. The catch with the BIG RED: it only fits the machines it lists, so check yours before you order. We'd pick it if you split a little, often, and quietly; otherwise, put it next to the GarveeTech 12 T Manual Hydraulic first.

The one thing we'd check first

Before you add the BIG RED ATGS012-1 Torin Manual Splitter to your cart: check where it will stand, because a rack or a splitter that wobbles on soft ground is no fun, so pick a level, firm spot first.
