Splitting force, per the listing

The force the listing states at the wedge, next to 20 in logs and a 7.5-second claimed cycle. Whether it is enough depends on species, diameter and moisture; our tonnage planner turns your wood into a rough band.

Why it made our list

What changes at the woodpile

20 tons, per the listing. Our planner rates that for rounds up to about 18 in of seasoned softwood, or about 12 in of green hardwood. Most backyard firewood lives in that range. Tonnage is the maker's rating at the ram, not a measured result, and our tonnage guide explains why two "20-ton" machines can feel different.

Logs up to 20 in. Fine for the usual 16 in stove length, with a little slack for the chainsaw cuts that wander. Measure your firebox before you measure anything else.

7.5 s cycle, claimed. Quick for a hydraulic ram. In real life your loading speed sets the pace, not the stopwatch.

Stove wood or big rounds?

For stove wood, logs up to 20 in suit the usual 16 in stove length. At 130 lb stated, two people can carry it to wherever the wood is.

For big rounds, 20 tons leaves headroom for knotty, green hardwood.

On balance it is a stove-wood splitter; whole trunk sections are another machine's job.

Great for you if…

You split a few cords of mixed hardwood every year
You'd rather load rounds than wait on the ram: 7.5 s per cycle, claimed
You like knowing exactly which engine you are buying

Skip it if…

Star ratings come first for you: 4.3/5 is below the 4.4 average of this ranking
You simply want our top pick: that's the Landworks 20-Ton Gas Log Splitter (9.2/10)
You burn furnace-length splits: 20 in is the stated maximum

What SuperHandy promises

The seller states, word for word, in the SuperHandy 20-Ton Gas Log Splitter listing:

SPECS – Powered by an AlphaWorks 7HP 4 stroke OHV gas engine paired with the ultra-reliable and trusted 2-Stage Bucher Hydraulic Gear Pump.
10” inch sturdy tubeless polyurethane wheels and ergonomic folding handle, allows for smooth maneuvering and easy transportation from site to site.
The 7.5 Second cycle time and consistent force allows the wedge to smoothly slice through your wood pile with confidence.
(NOTE: HYDRAULIC FLUID NOT INCLUDED, AW32 Recommended).

Their words and their figures, not our measurements.

Power, transport and what's in the box

What the SuperHandy 20-Ton Gas Log Splitter listing names:

AlphaWorks, 7 HP gas engine
Logs up to 20 in long
Horizontal operation
Two-stage pump
130 lb stated

Not in the box, per the listing: Hydraulic oil (AW32 recommended).

That is what the listing says comes, or doesn't come, with the SuperHandy 20-Ton Gas Log Splitter. Check the crate on delivery day, before the cardboard goes on the burn pile.

Plan the unloading, the oil and the path to the woodpile before the freight truck shows up.

Price and cost per stated ton

$849.93 Price on Sep 30, 2026 · may have changed

At the price on Sep 30, 2026, each stated ton of splitting force costs about $42. That puts it in the cheaper third of the 49 complete splitters we have a price for.

Cost per ton is only a rough yardstick: log length, cycle time and the engine count as much as the force.

A better fit for your woodpile?

Need more force for knotty wood? The BILT HARD 40-Ton Gas Log Splitter (9.1/10) states 40 tons.

Rather roll the big rounds than lift them? The BILT HARD 27-Ton Towable Gas Splitter (7.7/10) tilts to vertical, per its listing.

Our take

The verdict

On the SuperHandy 20-Ton Gas Log Splitter, a 20-ton rating is what caught our eye, and room for 20 in rounds doesn't hurt either. With 158 buyer reviews behind it, you are not taking a leap in the dark. Our main reservation: its 4.3/5 buyer average sits under the 4.4 of this ranking. We'd pick it if you split a few cords of mixed hardwood every year; otherwise, put it next to the BILT HARD 22-Ton Gas Log Splitter first.

Living with it

Delivery day

At 130 lb (about 59 kg), two people get it from the truck to the shed. Fill the hydraulic oil first: the listing says it ships without. Read the manual's start-up page before the first round.

The first cord

Start with straight, seasoned rounds and learn where the wedge likes to bite. At 20 tons, knotty crotches are where you will find the limit. Anything longer than 20 in goes back to the chainsaw.

The routine

Fresh fuel, the oil level checked, a look at the hoses before each session. One person loads, one stacks, and it goes quickly.

Off-season

Run the tank dry or add stabiliser, then clean the beam, cover it and store it dry. Our maintenance and hydraulic oil guide has the yearly routine.

What buyers say

Buyers give it 4.3/5, a solid record, slightly below this ranking's 4.4 average. 158 reviews is a fair sample, enough for the average to mean something.

The numbers

Buyer rating: 4.3/5
Reviews: 158
This ranking's average: 4.4/5

The one thing we'd check first

Before you order the SuperHandy 20-Ton Gas Log Splitter: check the hydraulic oil, because the listing says it ships without and names AW32, so the first Saturday ends early if nobody orders it.

Before you buy

Your wood

20 tons stated. Measure your typical round, note the species and whether it is green or seasoned, and run it through our tonnage planner. The answer is a band, not a promise.

Your firebox

It takes logs up to 20 in. Measure the stove or the furnace, then cut an inch shorter. Our cord calculator helps you size the winter's pile.

Delivery and moving it

130 lb (about 59 kg) stated. Freight usually stops at the curb. Plan who unloads the crate, and how the machine gets from the driveway to the woodpile. Our towing and delivery guide covers hitches and roads.

Oil, fuel and the first start

Order the grade the manual names, fill to the mark with the ram retracted, and bleed the air as described before the first split. Our maintenance and hydraulic oil guide walks through it.

Frequently asked questions

Is the SuperHandy 20-Ton Gas Log Splitter any good?

We rate it 7.6/10 (very good), #3 of 5 in our 20–30 ton gas log splitter ranking. It is based on 158 buyer reviews averaging 4.3/5 and the specifications stated in the listing.

What force and log size does the SuperHandy 20-Ton Gas Log Splitter state?

Its listing states 20 tons of splitting force, gas hydraulic drive, 20 in maximum log length, horizontal operation and a claimed 7.5-second cycle. Those are the maker's claims, not our measurements, and more tons does not guarantee an easier morning with your wood. Our tonnage planner gives a rough band for your rounds.

Where can the SuperHandy 20-Ton Gas Log Splitter be used?

It is listed with a gas engine, so it runs outdoors only; fuel, engine oil, hydraulic fluid and service follow the manual of the exact model. Planning to move it behind a vehicle? A hitch on the listing is not a road approval, so check the manual and your local rules first.

What do you get with the SuperHandy 20-Ton Gas Log Splitter?

Its listing states 20 tons of splitting force, logs up to 20 in long, a 7.5-second cycle, a two-stage pump, AlphaWorks engine and 130 lb (about 59 kg). These are the seller's figures, not our measurements: how it handles your knottiest oak and how the controls feel after two hours can't be read from a listing.

What should I check before ordering the SuperHandy 20-Ton Gas Log Splitter?

Your wood: 20 tons stated. Measure your typical round, note the species and whether it is green or seasoned, and run it through our tonnage planner. The answer is a band, not a promise.
