A 5-ton log splitter can be used on a bench or table for greater splitting comfort. The problem is lifting the splitter onto a bench. All the log splitters featured in this article are under 110 lbs, meaning two adults in good shape could lift the splitter, but it would mean lifting 47 lbs or more each. Of course, if you choose to use your splitter on a bench, ensure the bench or table is sturdy enough to support the combined weight of the splitter and any wood you put on it without sagging.
