[Costco] Yardmax 5-tonne Electric log splitter $199 @ Costco.ca

I actually purchased this at $239 when the sale hit Monday - just got an alert that the price was reduced another $40. Pretty good deal, considering CT is selling a comparable tool for $299 on sale right now. Decent deal if you need it.

To be honest this is something I WISH I needed. Something about the ease of splitting logs and the subsequent burning of said logs sounds relaxing.

Is there a 3rd party tool that alerts for Costco price drops (like triple camels for Amazon)? Or was this the Costco email newsletter?

Was is the generic newsletter, or a specific alert for the price drop on your purchased item?
I've never heard of Costco sending price drop alert emails like that before.

Good deal. The CT one does not include a stand ($30), or free shipping (these things are bloody heavy), or the Costco warranty. If you are still splitting wood the old fashioned way, you'll never look back once you use a log splitter.

Other than length, there are no precise limitations. Factors include hardness, straightness of grain, moisture content, presence of knots. Here's a good video on a similar priced 5-ton splitter.

This is spot on. I’ve split just about every type of hardwood with a 5 ton splitter and the tried to do some relatively fresh elm and it couldn’t split it. I borrowed a friends 25 ton gas splitter and even it struggled with some of the same logs.

This is really an exceptional price for a 5 ton splitter with a tall stand. Generally very good reviews on the web. I was hoping to learn if the ram auto-retracts but didn't see that mentioned. Ordered it as I'm getting too old to really enjoy manually splitting anymore. That kind of exercise can be overrated. Thanks OP.

I use one. They are what they are. Sometimes ya need to try a few different spots on a log to get it split. The best part for me is. I’ll leave a lot of logs not split completely and put the splitter in my basement during winter and split accordingly the size I want or make small pieces for getting a fire going.
