    On clearance at Home Depot $300 off and my wife got a coupon for her Home Depot card for 10% off or 18 months 0% financing. She said looks like we are getting a wood splitter:)

    I have read a lot of positive reviews but wondering if there is a downside I am missing.

    Thanks!

    Hahahaha about 35 bucks USD last time I checked:). The Canadian Peso isn’t worth much these days.

    Comes to $1600 CAD so about $1210 USD. Amost the regular price for you guys:). Oh and we pay 15% sales tax on top of the $1600. I don’t think there is a state that charges that much but I could be wrong.

    I am on it. A buddy is checking if we can order from the store as it’s an online only. If we can’t no 10% off just the 18 month financing. Probably better to finance it as we have a money sucking renovation going on right now:). If my wife didn’t give the go ahead I wouldn’t be buying one now as I have no free time to run it. Playing with power tools in the house for a bit yet.

    Shipping is 3-9 days to either the store or our home. I would send it to the store either way as I work right by there. Would be easier than trying to time a delivery. They can load it on our truck with the forklift and I can unload it with the forks on the tractor.

    I am not in a hurry as I only have about a 1/3 cord bucked that needs splitting. Depending on how much Berkshire pork we sell this month I might order a log load in December. All this depends on how far I can get with the bathroom addition I have going on:)

    I have thought about it a few times:). Just need to get my passport renewed. With the exchange rate and the taxes I would have to pay at the border it gets close enough to not be worth the hassle. The nice thing is buying American made eliminates the duties at least:).

    If that model has a Subaru engine, be aware those engines are being discontinued by Subaru which may lead to a parts availability issue later down the road.

    Otherwise, they are good well built units.

    That’s something I am a bit concerned about. I figure they were a popular enough engine that there could be decent aftermarket parts available is Subaru stops supporting them. From what I have read they are a very solid engine and should last a good long time. I am wondering if that’s why they are clearance at Home Depot Canada.

    I was originally wanting a Surgemaster. Wallensteins consumer line that uses the cheaper Honda engine. They up and disappeared on Home Depots website so I did a google search and all the Surgemaster links go to wallensteins website as a broken link. They must have up and discontinued them.

    Thanks for the heads up bocefus78!

    The trigger has been pulled. Will wait patiently until the call to pick it up:). Pics to follow once it’s here and running.

    Thanks for the input all.

    I wish they made a factory 4 way wedge. I usually have bigger stuff to split and a 4 way would save some precision time
