Customers are dissatisfied with the damage of the precision measuring device. They mention that the box arrived somewhat damaged, with the styrofoam in the box destroyed. The foam packaging was all broken up, and the end of the device was broken off. One of the wheels was dented, and there are minor scratches on the product. The sthyro foam packing material was crushed and broken pretty much. The motor block had cracked during shipment or was damaged, and plastic spacers on both sides are totally in pieces.

Don't be in a hurry for it and be willing to live with chipped paint
Well, we have yet to use it so this review is on the packaging, installation, and hardware/paint provided.So our original order was being held at the final UPS stop noting it needed to "Clear Customs". So we called UPS and they said the box was coated in oil and they didn't have boxes to re-package something so big so could we come get it. I asked if they'd do a cursory inspection to assure it was not damaged, thus saving myself 50+ miles and over an hour of time. Turns out the packaging was so minimal that the motor block had cracked during shipment or was damaged prior to shipment as the box was not damaged (per the UPS guy). [Even on the second shipment, the foam packaging was all broken up in the top of the box on opening.] We did note, there was nothing on the outside of the box which indicated it was an extra heavy load. They apparently did not adhere to the recommendations from UPS on loads over 70#...We ended up having to order it again, wait another week, and finally get it. Though I will say Amazon did what they could to help by giving us 1-day shipping for free (so we got it in 6 days instead of 7) and a discount for our trouble. In the end, we ordered 5/27 and received 6/11; re-order was placed 6/5.The unit goes together well enough, though you can drive yourself crazy trying to get the washers to seat correctly on the fold-under leg opposite the wheels. And, if you're a perfectionist who likes their equipment to look very nice, forget it. Ours came with paint chipped so we immediately opened the touch-up paint which was found to be completely useless. The orange paint (which we needed on receipt) was completely dried up once we were able to wrench the brush from the bottle. The bottle is on its side and all paint remains, hardened, in the bottle. The gray paint was basically impossible to remove the brush as that paint was completely hardened into a thick plasticy goo - as you can see in the photo. Basically, we got paint bottle trash from China with our shipment.I'm certainly hoping that our satisfaction with its splitting performance will be better.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great value and convenience!
Reviewed in the United States on October 27, 2017
This splitter does a nice job! I split some fresh pine and redwood with it and it's a strong machine. Ran well on a 15amp service with a heavy duty 150' extension cord. The unit ships with a box inside a box with Styrofoam padding. The foam was in bad shape and all the hardware had fallen out of the packet that keeps it organized. Due to the weight it just doesn't ship well but everything is working with no damage to the unit itself. It was difficult to get the stand attached as the front legs don't line up at the proper angles. The rear side where the motor is located was easy to assemble and attach but the front is a chore. Maybe an hour to get it together. I had to use a vise grip to get some of the bolts to reach through and allow the nuts to be put on. Easy to move around and manuvered it down a 100' slope to the log pile with little effort. I have included a photo of what I did with it in two hours of work.
