Splitting force, per the listing

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

What it has going for it

What changes at the woodpile

6.5 tons, per the listing. By our planner's rule of thumb that is stove-length rounds up to about 8 in, seasoned softwood first. Big knotty oak is not its job. Tonnage is the maker's rating at the ram, not a measured result, and our tonnage guide explains why two "6.5-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.

Up to 9.8 in across. The diameter limit is what rules a round out before the force even matters. Bigger rounds get quartered with a maul first.

Stove wood or big rounds?

For stove wood, 6.5 tons is sized for seasoned stove-length rounds, by our planner's rule of thumb. Logs up to 20 in suit the usual 16 in stove length. It runs from a household outlet, right in the garage doorway.

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

Great for you if…

You burn seasoned stove wood, not whole oak trunks
You'd rather plug in than mix fuel

Skip it if…

Your pile is big green hardwood: 6.5 tons is made for seasoned stove wood
There is no outlet within cord reach of your woodpile
You want a long review record: only 22 buyer reviews so far
Star ratings come first for you: 4.0/5 is below the 4.3 average of our ranked picks

Price and cost per stated ton

$419.90 Price on Sep 30, 2026 · may have changed

At the price on Sep 30, 2026, each stated ton of splitting force costs about $65. That puts it around the middle 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 Landworks 20-Ton Gas Log Splitter (9.2/10) states 20 tons.

Rather roll the big rounds than lift them? The BILT HARD 40-Ton Gas Log Splitter (9.1/10) tilts to vertical, per its listing.

Cutting longer splits for the furnace? The BILT HARD 27-Ton Towable Gas Splitter (7.7/10) takes logs up to 24 in.

Our take

The verdict

We like the VEVOR 6.5-Ton Electric Log Splitter for 6.5 tons of splitting force and logs up to 20 in long. Only 22 buyers have rated it so far (4.0/5), so treat the score as an early read. Honestly, the catch: its 4.0/5 buyer average sits under the 4.3 of our ranked picks. We'd pick it if you burn seasoned stove wood, not whole oak trunks; otherwise, put it next to the PowerSmart 7-Ton Electric Log Splitter first.

Living with it

Delivery day

Check the shipping weight before the truck shows up. 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 6.5 tons, knotty crotches are where you will find the limit. Anything longer than 20 in goes back to the chainsaw.

The routine

Plug in, split, unplug. No fuel to go stale between sessions. Keep the beam clean and check the oil level as the manual says.

Off-season

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 4.0/5, a decent record, below our ranked picks' 4.3 average. Only 22 reviews so far, and our formula damps averages built on fewer than 50.

The one thing we'd check first

One thing to settle before the VEVOR 6.5-Ton Electric Log Splitter ships: check your outlet, because a 15 A motor needs a circuit and a cord the manual allows, near where the wood is.

Before you buy

Your wood

6.5 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.

The outlet

Find the breaker for the outlet you'll use and check nothing else heavy shares it. Our gas vs electric guide explains why that matters.

Oil, fuel and the first start

Check whether hydraulic oil ships in the tank or separately. Read the start-up and safety pages of the manual before the first round. Our safety guide is a ten-minute read.
