Product Description
The Boss Industrial ES7T20 is among the Top Rated Electric Log Splitters offering unparalelled quality and performance with its patented technologies. It offers the same convenience and portability of our EC5T20, but ramps the power up a notch to tackle larger projects! The powerful 2 HP electric motor delivers 7 tons of splitting force with of the harmful emissions that come with gas-powered units, allowing users to split indoors and outside. Built-in side rails keep logs stable while splitting, and the front handle allows for easy maneuvering. A patented hydraulic system and one-handed operation make Boss Industrial electric log splitters stand out from the rest of the pack.

I looked at a few electric log splitters and I'm glad I spent the extra $ for this one.
Taking into account the facts above, the Boss 7 ton is a nice unit with a few caveats. See Pro/Con below:
Pro:
-Small footprint - easy to store
-More powerful than I thought. This little bear with chew through 14 inch ash logs without hesitation
-No fumes - you can run this anywhere indoors or outdoors
-Recognizes when the wood splitting load is too high and the hydraulic ram automatically reverses. When this occurs, the ram will not operate until you turn the pump motor off and back on again.
-Runs on regular 15 amp circuit. I ran the machine for an hour on a 12 gauge 25 foot extension cord on a 15 amp circuit with no issues
-Quiet, especially if you've ever used an 11 HP Honda 30 ton splitter
-A VAST improvement over hand splitting.
-A variety of accessories - 4 way splitter head, extension legs and a log tray, all ala carte of course.
-Simple maintenance and assembly. Unbox and screw on the power handle and you're done. Check the hydraulic oil before operation!
Con:
-a 14 second cycle time sounds quick on paper but in the real world, it’s slow. I know. It’s a $400 unit, not a $3000 unit. On the positive side, the slower cycle makes it safer to operate than a unit that has a 4 second cycle.
-This is where it gets interesting because the biggest cons for me are really simple fixes by Boss. There is an air release wing nut on the hydraulic ram that MUST be opened 4-5 full turns every time you run the splitter or you can blow the hydraulic seals out and void the warranty. OK, I get it - the problem is that the "signage" on the machine for opening that valve is NON-EXISTENT! I added my own - see photos with the yellow labels I added and the magic marker that denotes the location of the wing nut vent. I'd think there could be some sort of automatic pressure release available - the wing nut thing is pretty bush league.
-One hand operation which is a pro or a con depending on your opinion. Two hand allegedly is safer but I doubt that myself having used a "two handed" Homelite splitter. You have to run both machines to fully comprehend.
-Don't EVER lend this unit without explaining that wing nut valve requirement very carefully and explicitly or you're going to get a blown hydraulic ram back from your buddy and it won't be their fault.
-Works a lot better than hand splitting but as I pointed out, it's slow. I've split about a cord of wood with this unit and its a lot more work than a large tow behind splitter but far ahead of a hand maul.
-I wish the unit could be stood on end with greater stability and NOT having to remove the power handle. The footprint standing on end is remarkably small.
-Read the manual and watch the Boss website videos before operation. This isn't really a "con" but it will help you run the unit safely. Don't kid yourself, a 7 ton hydraulic ram can rip off fingers or a hand in a flash.
The video attached show the 4 way splitter accessory which is a separate review that I wrote but it allows you to see how the hydraulic ram knows to automatically "back up" when it meets too much resistance. It does the same thing without the 4 way splitter with gnarly or oversized logs.
Overall, the Boss 7 ton log splitter is well made, easy to use, simple to assemble and is a solid improvement over a hand splitting maul. It's deceptively heavy - like 115 pounds and the build quality is top rate. If you want a pardon from hand splitting, don't plan to be busting a cord of wood a day and can tolerate the slower pace of ~15 second cycle time, the Boss 7 HP splitter is a great machine!

I read directions in manual just because wise thing to do. I opened the fly nut 6 or 7 times and ran it until air was out of hydraulic line. After retightened I decided to check oil on the stick after reading reviews about oil being at lowest line from factory. I tilted it up on end and put 7mm hex in nut and will not move. I mean will not turn loose. So I called 800 number. Got a very pleasant gentlemen on phone that told me that's because they use thread lock so it will not leak in transit. He said you have to give the hex wrench a hard tap to break the glue or use a lock creasant wrench (vise-grips) to lock on the round end of hex dip stick and give that a tap to loosen. This is not in the manual. Word of advise: Do not strip your 7mm hex nut, use the lock wrench and tap it and behold it is loose. Then screw it out with hex wrench that is included. I found the hydrologic oil to still be between the lines. Then I spent about 3 hours splitting about half a cord of wood. it went through my hard sweet gum ball wood like butter( if you get it with the grain) . Stacked it and covered it and done. Also use some kind of silicone spray on the black and red back and forth stuff. Oil will cause wood chips to stick to it. And it helps to prevent screeching sounds. Great price, great design, great one handed control. I'll never wear this thing out.
I bought from amazon there 50 foot 12 guage 15 amp cord and it works great with no issues. great price also

Important:
1. remember to open the hydraulic oil valve.
2. When using in the winter, make sure the machine is warmed up before use. We store ours in the workshop and the freezing temperatures cause it to run slow. After warming up inside, it performs perfectly.
