I absolutely love the electric splitter option! That could also be run with one of the very popular solar battery banks and used in an off grid type scenario as well. I love gas stuff but electric surely has a place as well. For year lineman would drill holes in poles with 2 stroke drills, now they use an 18V impact and drill away with no struggles at all! I also would love a machine like that for use indoors when the weather is less than fantastic.
Yeah, we wish we had a solar bank for the video cause we wanted to show more electric power supplies but we feel we met the mark on this one by showcasing a hybrid and full EV. We're gonna see how they fair in the shop with a couple Makita batteries and maybe make a quick video on that in the near future?
We were absolutely thrilled with how well it handled the amp usage when splitting really tough wood. Definitely, it wont be everyones primary option to split this way but, in a pinch this will handle a lot of splitting at a very low operating cost.
Can that run on a dead mans foot switch? so you don't have to hear that motor whining all the time? (just when your doing actual splitting...) I run a tiny $200 mini electric log splitter like that. - - Makes it really nice being quiet all that other time your gathering wood, etc. Looks great! Best, --J.Andre. / Old Iron Acres
@@SplitFireSalesInc If you're looking for an example of it... I have a video on it. It's called "$220 started the Wood Project and, a Green House?? -- Wood Meets Iron (Part 2 of 2)" (@ 2:15) - - And I'd be happy to beta test and make videos on any versions if you want outside feedback!!!

That is the future plan to get more processing equipment into our line up. Unfortunately our shop is too small currently to facilitate a production of that sort (for now).
I'd still get the gasoline version. Can't wait to see the foot pedal option and how it works. If I was starting over in firewood, the value of the 1165V is hard to beat. Some of the tree service rounds that I have to split probably weighs as much as this splitter.
Both motorized alternatives gas and electric offer their own pros/cons. We feel there is a significant amount of people out there that still want an electric option for their homes and have something of a silent split action in their garage or workshops.
5 second cycle time with electric and that tiny footprint in garage space is really hard to beat. But the sound of the splitter is not something I can get past. Not trying to be negative, I really love this setup.
True, the motor whine isn't exactly the most soothing sound but it can be overcome with a set of ear muffs, shop music or even wireless headphones. Happy splittin' !!

Same here when the weather sucks. Very few good options for electric splitters when the weather isn't cooperative.
@@SplitFireSalesInc As a Makita user, That would be awesome to see! Best, --J.Andre. / Old Iron Acres
@@SplitFireSalesInc that would be interesting!
@@thefirewooddoctor could be super useful!
fun video. i use my lightning for remote power all the time. on the 240V 30amp plug it can put out some serious power.

Neat suggestion!
Thanks for the suggestion, we'll run it by our engineering dept.

Awesome, for sure! The hybrid could be a game changer for many folks. Build a nice little electric conveyor, and you're golden!

@@SplitFireSalesInc After I get my 1165v I'll be in the market for one of your conveyor models.
Good video just subscribed,we have small woodyard in Southern Illinois
Thanks for the sub!

@@SplitFireSalesInc if would be splitting indoors, the 1165V electric would be my first choice.
@@SplitFireSalesInc hassle free!

I love my Split-Fire log splitter but the only America's interested in EV's live in California and are conflicted about sanity. 😂
Lots of interest up here in Canada!
electric stuff is b.s to me
To each their own, its definitely not for everyone. We still prefer our diesels too :)
