A good log splitter helps take the hard work out of firewood prep, especially when you’re dealing with larger rounds, tougher timber, higher volumes, or regular winter firewood. Instead of relying on brute force, a hydraulic log splitter gives you controlled splitting power and a more consistent result.
For many Hawke’s Bay households and lifestyle block owners, a log splitter is not just about saving time. It is about making the job safer, easier and more manageable.
STIHL SHOP Napier stocks a practical range of LawnMaster and Hansa log splitters for home firewood, lifestyle blocks, rural properties and regular firewood preparation.

The right log splitter depends on what you are splitting, how often you are doing it, and how much timber you need to get through.
– How much firewood you process each year
– The size and type of timber you usually split
– Whether you are splitting for home use or larger property use
– How comfortable you are lifting and handling heavy rounds
– How much storage space you have
– Whether you need something for occasional use or regular work
That is where local advice helps. Marty and the team can talk you through the options and help you choose a log splitter that suits the actual job, not just the biggest number on the spec sheet.

The best log splitter depends on how much firewood you process, the size of the timber, and how often you use it. For regular home firewood, a mid-range log splitter may be enough. For larger rounds, rural properties or heavier use, a higher-tonnage model may be a better fit.
In New Zealand, “log splitter” and “wood splitter” are often used to mean the same thing: a machine that uses hydraulic force to split logs or rounds into firewood. STIHL SHOP Napier can help you compare the right model for the size and type of timber you are working with.
A 22 tonne log splitter may suit general home and lifestyle block use, while a 37 tonne log splitter is better suited to larger rounds, heavier timber and bigger firewood piles. The team at STIHL SHOP Napier can help you compare both options in-store.
