Thanks for the quick response.
One tip:
Sometimes with a tough piece of wood it will split suddenly and fly quite a distance (10-15 feet). I keep a small length of rope handy for logs which don't start splitting immediately, just wrap it around 2 or 3 times and secure with just one rope over the other (like the first motion in tying a shoestring - friction does the trick no real knot necessary). This protects delicate items to the side - like flower pots or coffee cups - the wood makes the big noise but doesn't go anywhere. This makes it real safe - a few weeks ago with a sunny spell and summer coming up I was able to accomplish my splitting chores in the nude - something I certainly wouldn't attempt with a hammer and wedge!

I have owned my mini splitter for about a season now and really pleased with it's operation. I had a slight problem with the jack leaking and and you replaced the jack without question. I am very pleased with the rapid response, qickness of delivery, and mostly the friendly attitude of the people on the phone. Owning the mini splitter has been a very pleasing experience. Thank you so much . Now back to the wood shed .

This note is long overdue. I want to enthusiastically thank you for your fine splitters and your top notch customer service. I originally purchased a foot powered heavy duty unit dirctly from Ed at his shop in North Denver.

I purchased the splitter to keep from wreaking my upper back. I used to love splitting with an axe but a upper back defect makes it not the best activity for me; actually it's one of the worst things I can do for my back
.
I have heated my house with wood since 1971. A friend used to split my wood for me in trade for electrical work. Recently it has been harder and harder to get him to do it . Splitting must be taking a toll on him too! So I've had to do my own splitting again. I found the foot powered splitter to work quite nicely, saving the noise and expense of a gas powered unit. I subsequently purchased an air powered splitter as I own a 2 HP compressor. I find it to wook quite well. Now I use both splitters. I use the foot powered unit if I have short material or if I don't feel like getting into the shop, hooking up the air hose etc. My wife also preferrs the foot model although she also uses the air unit. Having Jan able to help with the splitting really helps and is only made possible by your fine products. I have mounted both splitters on a low heavy bench about 14-16 inches high. I find this makes using either model much easier with less bending. I also use a pry bar to complete the split once the splitter cracks the wood. This speeds up the process. I don't have to move the platform as far as one does if the wedge must complete the splitting. I greatly appreciate your company, your simple products are well thought out, are fun to use and perform quite well. Your coustomer service is second to none. I wish you made more type of machines and appliances I could buy!
Thanks again. Your loyal customer,

I just wanted to make a comment about your six ton standard splitter. With the amount of wood that I burn, your product paid for itself in one season. Thank-you for your product and your excellent customer service.

Hello!
I received my mini splitter via UPS today, and I wanted to write and tell you that I am very pleased with my purchase. I was impressed with the fast delivery, very heavy duty shipping carton, the quality of the construction of the splitter, and with its operation. It seems to split the logs with no trouble. It will undoubtedly work for years to come, as it is very well constructed. Thank you for a quality product! I really feel I received my money's worth!

Hi,
Just a note to let you know I got my splitter the other day. Yesterday I tried it out on some live oak logs, which is what I bought it for. This thing is a worker and solves a problem for me. Thanks again.

I recently purchased your 6 ton mini splitter and have to echo the comments of your other customer letters. I was a little apprehensive about how well it would work prior to my splitter arriving. However once I used it and discovered how easy and labor free it is I told several of my friends about it.I've always split wood by using an ax with wedges and a heavy sledgehammer, after using the mini splitter I wasn't exhausted and sweating in the cold weather. This is a great product that's well designed and crafted.
Sincerely,

I just received my 12 ton air splitter last night and I had to try it out.I brought in a half dozen knotty, twisted pieces of wood that I considered "unsplittable". Within 10 minutes I had all six logs split and quartered and ready for the fire place. Pretty impressive! Thanks for a job well done!

I just recently purchased your 8 ton air/hydraulic minisplitter and I've used it every day since receiving it last week. I was getting ready to spend $900 on a gasoline powered splitter, when I came across your product. I checked out some of your "mini" splitter competition and what really sold me on your splitter were the letters from your customers and the slide show detailing how the splitter worked. I have to say it has definitely exceeded my expectations. Even with the 90+ degree weather and high humidity we have been having lately the splitter performed very well. I went through every problem, knot covered log I had and it split every single one. I was a little nervous at fist investing in something that was less than half the cost of the splitter I wanted. But, I am definitely not nervous now and I have $600 extra dollars in my pocket!
Thanks,

"I just love this Mini Splitter, at my age and health splitting wood is a thing of my younger years. With this invention I now can easily split my own wood and get the exercise I need. Why was a product like this so long in coming? I whole heartedly recommend this Mini Splitter to anyone. Thank You"

Dear Sir I wish to advise you that I am a 65 yr. old retired man, living in northern Michigan. I burn about 17-face cord of oak firewood per year. I purchased one of your heavy-duty Mini Splitters and was amazed to find that it splits 10" diameter knotty oak with ease, and I can do this inside, at my convenience.

Once again as I say this to you one more time, I am very happy with your product, the Mini Splitter, before I bought your product I was splitting my wood with a maul and wedge and believe me at the end of the day I was pretty tired splitting wood. Your Mini Splitter saves me time and I am not tired at the end of the day. My wife and 13-year-old son also enjoy using the Mini Splitter. It very safe for them to use. Keep up the good work. I am a true believer in the Mini Splitter.
Thank-you
