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 help.

This review is for the older machine. In short "FANTASTIC". A few minor design issues but the new "venom compact" has addressed all of these I wont comment on them. The machine itself is brilliant, I split about 3 tons of logs in 3 hours and used 2 litres of petrol, splitting logs of up to 18" diameter and 15" long. Mostly the machine was ran on half revs and the ram rarely faltered. The ram stops when you let go of the levers so it usualy only needs to travel to & fr 6", which saves a lot of time. I hesitated the price, but I don't regret my purchase. Last year I spent several weekends on a job that just took one day with this machine. The email contact from "James" is excellent and I would recommend it to anyone. Its best to have one person loading and another operating. If the new splitters are better than mine, then don't dither any more, just buy one.

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 ! Thanks

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 machine!

This is a fantastic well engineered piece of kit.I had looked at so many other log splitters before deciding to purchase this new 12 ton splitter from Rock.I am so pleased with it`s performance, it just slices through all my hardwood logs like a knife through butter and the briggs and stratton engine does`nt even grunt on half revs. Well done Rock and thanks for the fast no hassle delivery.

Bought this log splitter on a recommendation not to go for the electric ones. I am glad I did this machine is the real Mcoy splits everything with ease. Would recommend it comes assembled ready for work. Very safe operation makes log splitting fun.
