Power Tool Questions

How do I choose the right power tool for my project? +

Choosing the right power tool depends on your project requirements:

  • Drilling & Fastening: Cordless drills, impact drivers, hammer drills

What's the difference between cordless and corded power tools? +

Key differences between cordless and corded power tools:

  • Cordless Tools: Portable, no power cord restrictions, battery-powered, great for mobility
  • Corded Tools: Consistent power, no battery limitations, typically more powerful, lower cost

Choose cordless for mobility and convenience. Choose corded for continuous heavy-duty work and maximum power.

How often should I maintain my generator? +

Regular maintenance ensures reliable operation:

  • Every 50 hours or annually: Change oil and air filter
  • Every 100 hours: Replace spark plug
  • Monthly: Test run for 15-20 minutes
  • Before storage: Add fuel stabilizer
  • Professional service: Annual inspection recommended

We provide maintenance kits and can connect you with certified service technicians.

Can I use a generator indoors? +

Never operate a portable generator indoors or in enclosed spaces. This includes:

  • Inside homes, garages, or basements
  • In crawl spaces or partially enclosed areas
  • Near doors, windows, or vents

Generators produce deadly carbon monoxide. Always operate outdoors, at least 20 feet from your home, with exhaust directed away from windows and doors.

Log Splitter Questions

What size log splitter do I need? +

Log splitter size depends on the wood you'll be splitting:

  • 4-10 tons: Small logs, softwood, occasional use
  • 20-25 tons: Most residential needs, mixed hardwood
  • 30+ tons: Large logs, tough hardwood, commercial use

Consider log diameter, wood type (hardness), and frequency of use when selecting tonnage.

Electric vs. gas log splitters - which is better? +

Both have advantages depending on your needs:

  • Electric: Quieter, no emissions, easier maintenance, good for smaller jobs
  • Gas: More power, portable anywhere, faster cycle times, better for large jobs

Choose electric for suburban use with power access. Choose gas for remote locations or heavy-duty splitting.
