Brave 30-Ton Horizontal / Vertical Log Splitter Honda GX200 (VH1730GX)

I don’t know

I have not been able to fully assemble it. Do you have connections that woukd help with that?

Excellent machine, and customer service people

The Brave splinter could use a larger off table on the engine side. Larger logs tend to lose balance and want to fall away rather than laying on the table.

Good splitter but note about assembly

The Brave 30 ton splitter with the Honda GX200 engine arrived in a timely manner with no issues. However, upon assembly after opening the crate and getting the manual out, I discovered that 32mm and 38mm crow foot wrenches are needed in order to properly torque down the nuts that are inaccessible by a socket. No local stores had these two tools, so I had to order them online causing a day’s delay in getting the splitter assembled. I feel that Brave could have easily included these two tools in the box of hardware at a minimal cost. Be careful putting on the oil filter holder. I didn’t hold it securely enough with a wrench, so now it’s on crooked which is not esthetically pleasing to look at. The optional oil change hose is not needed and didn’t fit anyway. There is a little sticker on the main beam that says made in China. Apparently, the splitter is made of US made parts, but the mainframe is foreign made. Once it was assembled, the log splitter has a solid, deluxe look and feel to it.
