Best Seller – 22ton Venom log splitter
Since its release in 2011 the 22ton Venom has become the pinnacle of what a log splitter should be and it has cemented its self as one of the best splitters in the UK and Europe.
We have taken customer feedback onboard and improved the splitter year by year adding a working table, road towing axle and making overall design improvements. Today the 22ton Venom looks quite different to how it did in 2011 but it still retains its robust workhorse features that make it a hit with professionals and domestic users alike.
With features that include a Briggs and Stratton Vanguard engine, vertical and horizontal splitting positions and ergonomic controls this machine really has no equal.

I was looking for a chipper big enough to chip a lot of small medium size branches of willow but not industrial and a price i could live with .I did a lot of research on internet and viewed youtube videos of the all chippers i could find .I decided on the rock 13 hp chipper it had a electric start and Briggs and Stratton engine and most important was one opening for all branches and sweepings up .I had seen the chippers with 2 inputs and I thought this is going to take forever sorting branches out so one big opening was the clincher for me .I emailed rock for some technical information and got back a immediate response to my query .I also ordered a 22ton v series log splitter a review for that is coming separately.They arrived very quickly fully built and ready to go with oil in engine and a comprehensive book of instructions my advice read twice be cause this is a beast and you need all information to hand before you start as this swallows branches as fast as you can feed them in and you need to wear ear defenders and safety goggles these were supplied .In a very short time this had reduce a mountain of cherry laurel and willow branches to a lovely pile of chippings took about 5 hours .I decide to check the knifes in the chipper for wear and tear not a mark on them so it looks like they will last forever .And the engine run effortless i am well pleased with my purchase and realise that i had made the perfect...

I was looking for a splitter that could split some massive logs and small alike i have small wood of birch and willow plus some logs that i could not split with a axe .And it need to be able to split in the vertical as well as horizontal plane as some of these logs i could not lift on to the machine.I look on internet and youtube of all that was available and found this 22 v series log splitter and it seemed to fit the bill precisely .I emailed rock re some information and got back an almost immediate reply i ordered the machine a long with there 13 hp chipper review given .They arrived very quickly on a pallet and the driver was brilliant he delivered them exactly were i wanted as these machines are big .Read the comprehensive instructions at least twice this needs some respect so safety first .Again machine built and ready to go including oil in engine .the engine seemed a bit small and it was a name i never heard of and pull start need not have worried it started first pull and purred like a kitten .Put the machine in vertical mode very easy to do well thought out just one lever and it flips up nice.Put on my first log it was big but not the biggest wanted to see how we got on you have to pull 2 levers to active the ram which is massive as is the cutting head and it sliced through the log like hot knife through butter .I did the rest of the logs no problem .Put it back into horizontal position and finished of the rest of the logs the really nice think about this you can leave the ram in any...

I bought this logsplitter second hand requiring some repairs. I contacted your company for a part and found your level of service second to none, thank you very much. I have used many a splitter over the years and can honestly say this is the most powerful, most versatile and safest one I’ve ever used. My wife now uses it leaving me redundant. I own a mechanical repair business ranging from repairs to chainsaws to heavy plant and have demonstrated the ease of use to my customers. Once again thank you for a great machine and brilliant...
John MacDonald – 12ton V-Series
Very pleased with log splitter. It appears well made and effective. Tested it out with some very difficult beech and it preformed very well. We used to hire a similar machine from a different manufacturer and the one big difference when using the venom it is a lot less prone to ejecting difficult shaped logs when you try to split them. Good value for money, very pleased I brought it. - 25ton Tractor...

We’ve had one of these machines for 2 years. Simply brilliant little grinder. We work primarily in north London and are often in need of a restricted access machine. We have carried this grinder across Indian sandstone terraces to prevent marking, through houses and up staircases. The machine is easily lifted by 2 onto a truck and fits into the back of a small van. As for what it can do. Well we have ground dead oak nearly 4 ft diameter ( check out photo on Arb talk. harrison rock machinery stump grinder thread ) The secret with this machine is be patient and use a bit of finesse as apposed to brute strength + it will serve you well. As for maintenance, change the teeth, tighten the belt, grease the cutter wheel bearings, change the oil if your feeling fancy. The bearings last for ages. Down sides….. Your mates and colleagues will tell you it can’t be good because it’s not a rayco 😀. Don’t listen. This machine makes us money, is easy to use+doesn’t let us down. Rock have been great to deal with. Highly recommend these...

I bought this machine a couple of months ago ready for the post harvest logging frenzy. I had it out and put a few logs through it to see how it went on; and more to the point to see how I would go on with the machine, all seemed fine. Then came the first big day which we would have to split 4 big loads on the tractor tipping trailer. For many years I had used the Hydra-crack log splitter which had served me very well and I was hoping the new Venom was going to be worth the money? As it happens it was well worth the money for 2 very good reasons; 1 it was even faster than the Hydra-crack and so much easier on the back. We had a mixed load of timber, oak, ash, hawthorn, cherry and sycamore; all were split without any being put on the “to be chain sawed” pile. There was 1 small issue with the rack not returning, but that was down to user error and not greasing a bearing. Thanks Campbell for the over the phone advice. This machine gets 10 out of 10 from me and I am looking forward to splitting the next...

We needed a log splitter after being given a massive felled beech tree. Knew about the Venom range, but not which model to buy. We decided on the 12 tonner. What a fantastic bit of kit. So far it has split about 5 tons of logs, some of which were hideous knotty twisted monsters. The Venom took anything in its stride. I would like to add that we run it on half revs and it hardly faltered at all, doesn’t use much fuel either and we only run on full for the big 3 foot diameter meaty chunks. This machine far exceeds our expectations and has been well worth the money – superior build quality and simple to use. Get yourself a Venom! Many thanks to Rock Machinery for quick and efficient delivery and...

Just to let you know what a superb piece of machinery your recently-purchased Venom 22 ton log splitter is. Not an exaggeration to say it has transformed our lives where log preparation is concerned. It has effortlessly worked through piles of timber in a fraction of the time taken to do by hand, and split logs otherwise unusable through being too hard or too knotty - wood that an axe just bounces off. It is far more cost-effective to run than a chainsaw, and has allowed us to utilise all our available timber. It was well worth paying to have delivered assembled and ready to go - just wheeled it out, checked it over and started working. Excellent product and service; thank you very much. Kind regards, Lynne &...

Love this machine. Well built and plenty of power to split the logs that used to need the saw put through them. A few small criticisms, if you use the splitter horizontally without the log cradle attached, the reflectors on the tyre guards don't last long. My ram seemed to be a bit temperamental and I thought it might be the spool valve not letting enough oil through. After playing about a bit I found out that the control levers were a bit "sloppy". After disassembling the levers and tightening everything up the splitter is now performing spot...

Very impressed with the Blitz mower. Cut through dense rushes without any hesitation. Field had not been cut for approximately 50 years. Previously have struggled to cut smaller rushes in other fields using smaller flail mower and even with tractor and cutter. Electric start, large petrol tank - good piece of kit. Excellent after service and pleasant, helpful staff....

Paid for this as a pre order in mid Feb and the Splitter was despatched last week(18/3). Transport Co could only deliver if there was a smooth surface to run up the Pallet truck which we do not have ? I therefore had to collect from their Depot a fond trip of 25 miles with my Ifor Wiliams ! Once back home and cracked open the crate all went together well, the central beam however is a meaty item so was quite tricky to manouvere even but once you get the wheels on its much easier ! It took a very careful 3 hours to assemble! After filling up with the hydraulic and engine oil it started first time and it works a treat. Nothing I have put in the jaws of death has beaten it yet. I love the piston stop action ! I had hired several types before but this beats them hands down for compactness, manouverability and sheer power !...

After much research and hours watching You tube,I decided the 12 ton splitter was the machine that I would buy. The buying process was straight forward and the machine was delivered onto my garage by the driver of the delivery lorry. I have some mechanical knowledge, and the assembly of the machine is relatively simple. With the correct oil's and fuel added the engine started second pull. I had recently used a tractor mounted splitter at my sons, and doubted that the rock machinery splitter could match the power of that machine, I should not have, as the 12 ton splitter pushed its wedge through every log it was asked to. This included some logs of Elm that I had given up trying to split with a Maul, and some very fibrous large rounds of Poplar. The machine is simple and safe to use, on my return from a few days working away, my wife was proud to show me a large pile of logs that her and the rock had split In summary an excellent...

Hi, After many moments looking at splitter on Utube and looking all kinds, of over priced & under engineered junk I bought this 20t splitter, it's nearly a year old. This machine is a serious bit of kit. I've been splitting dry sycamore logs which give way with a resounding crack at time, this machine does not struggle with this stubborn wood. Only one thing to look out for: The exhaust and the hose from the pump 'keep it clear' I bolted a 28mm plastic pipe clip to the air filter cover, this keeps the pipe away from hot exhaust. I still give it...

I bought our Venom 22 ton log splitter in January and we have used it regularly since then. It is a great piece of kit and handles anything you throw at it, with ease. It is easy to operate and well balanced, making the transition between vertical and horizontal use very simple. I would have no hesitation in recommending it to anyone; it is a first class splitter and Rock Machinery is great to deal with, especially...
