The electric log splitters basically function like the gas-powered log splitters. The only main difference is that it uses electricity and is equipped with electric motors to power its kinetic flywheels or the hydraulics. To use them, all you need to do is plug them up on an electrical outlet.
No Mess, Just Plug and Play
Electric log splitters don’t need to be assembled. Once you unbox them, you can start splitting logs right away. Simply, they are just the plug and play type like ordinary home appliances. You are running out of wood for your stove, just plug your electric log splitter and start splitting cut wood right away inside your garage. 
It doesn’t always need to be a log. It could be pieces of a branch you cut from a tree or pieces of pre-split logs you want to split even more. As long as the log cradle can accommodate the wood’s length you can make nice firewood out of it.
You can use an electric log splitter inside your workshop, near your home or inside an animal’s shed and totally be safe including the animals because this machine is 100% emission-free. 
Electric log splitters also require very little maintenance because they don’t need spark plugs, filters, engine oil, gas and they are very quiet too you won’t be disturbing your neighbors or your family using them. So all in all, the cost for maintenance it requires is relatively low and this type could be the perfect choice if you are low on a budget.
