World’s FIRST DEWALT Battery Powered Log Splitter! You decide if it’s Tough Enough!

What happens here

Select a hard oak log, and if possible, a knotty piece, to challenge the 9-ton splitter. Place the oak log on the splitter and proceed to split it, first at low speed, then at high speed. Observe how the splitter handles the tough wood, demonstrating its capacity for hardwood. Pay attention to the wood's resistance and any deformation during the split.

Goal: Test the 9-ton splitter's performance on hardwood (oak) and challenging, knotty logs

What they say

Hide

Okay, retract. Go ahead and get our next log. [Applause] This is a little bit bigger piece of pine. It'll fit right on there. I think that's about 16 in. We're going to crank it up. We're going to put it up to the high speed and try it out with high speed. We may not ever want to use low speed after this. HERE WE GO. [Applause] I'M IMPRESSED. TOTALLY IMPRESSED. So quiet. NICE. HERE WE GO. [Applause] I WANT YOU GUYS' INPUT. As you see this thing work, I want your input. Right, here we go. [Music] [Applause] Again, this is 3.5 gallons per minute. Do it again. [Applause] That's cool. [Music] [Applause] Now, the run time is based on one fully charged battery, so not two fully charged batteries. We're going to go ahead and we're going to grab ourselves a piece of oak. This is oak that's been sitting in the woods forever. Now, I know a lot of you folks are going to say, "Ga, let's get me a big old piece." If this is not about the size of your log, it's about the hardness of your log. So, we know what pine does. Now, we need to know what a good serious hardwood will do. So, let's reach up here and get a piece of this oak. This is oak from a down tree on the farm and it'd been sitting there for probably 3 years. It is super hard. All right. In fact, let me show you how hard it is. Okay, all right. Here is how hard it is. Okay, you can tell the quality of an anvil by how hard how it rings when you hit it. Listen to this log ring. That ain't no joke right there. That's some hard oak, baby. Okay, so let's try the oak first on the low speed.
