Mantis 5005 Product reviews

Mantis 5005 Review by Jerry "Jerry" (Bedford, MA USA)

I bought the Swiftsplit back in July, and it arrived in good condition. Assembly was straightforward. So far I've split almost a cord (mostly green oak and maple), and it's worked well. I've got enough wood now for about 2 more seasons, so I probably will put little more use on it during the warranty period. The large-wheeled dolly and operating the splitter without your face being right next to log were the selling points for me, and practice has confirmed these advantages. I think that greasing the vertical beam is essential. As Steven reported in 2008, my pusher has also dimpled; it does make splitting small logs a little more challenging, but it does OK.

If you're not splitting close to a power outlet, be aware of the need for a heavy duty power cord. See Steven's 2008 review and my 2009 comment. Last week I was splitting at a friend's house using just 50' of 12-gauge cord, and the splitter occasionally failed to work -- it would stall, but on the next try, it'd work OK, suggesting that it was right on the edge and that the wiring to his garage outlet was perhaps smaller, thus adding resistance to the entire power circuit.

Mantis 5005 Review by R. Shogren (Salina, Ks USA)

This splitter works pretty well for the occasional woodburner. It will not suffice for the fulltime user. If you try to split something that is simply too much for it, it might break - like mine did. The carrier weldment that holds the log (at the bottom) cracked out from too much pressure. When I tried to order a replacement from Mantis, they said they don't have any and would not ship me the needed part.

Mantis 5005 Review by A-Jay (Northern Michigan)

I have been very pleased with the Mantis SwiftSplit. I purchased this unit two years ago when we relocated to North Michigan. I have supplemented my home heating for two long Michigan winters with the wood taken down off my property and then split with this unit. I don't know how many cords that is and honestly it doesn't really matter. The Mantis handles it with NO PROBLEM. Clearly this is not a commercial grade product but it is effective, durable and safe for the home owner. If your looking for a quiet, non-gas powered (fume-free) log splitter, that you can use in your garage or shed, this is it.
