Thanks for the shout out. Honest review is the best review. Reading the rounds is so true with this machine. With the "uglies" I'll just make sure not to grab a full blade. It's definitely not your Ultra, for sure. Great job Genin! Congrats
Welcome to the 1165V family. I was the guy that bought the one at Bunyan. You’re gonna love the ease of using this. Definitely want to chip the XL logs from the outside in. Good luck to you!
Can’t believe I missed your video. You made a wise decision and I’m glad you got he knee control. You hit it right on the head, this is an entry level vertical splitter but for most people it do the job. Resplitting is where it excels for sure,. Can’t wait to get your thoughts after you split a few cords. May you and your family have a happy, healthy and safe Christmas and New Year.👍TCT
What a nice fast homeowner vertical splitter, this is what the Super Split is to the horizontal market, very fast. I like it, good purchase ! Thanks for the video
Evening Genin. They seem to be a popular splitter at a great price. A couple of fellas around here have them and they are very happy with their purchase.
Well done on the review. I got mine in July, it’s surpassed my expectations for sure. It really shines when you put an extra person while splitting its non stop and fast. Great job, take care.
Good morning and welcome to the club. I’ve had mine for about a month now fantastic machine. I use it to supplement my Eastonmade 2228. The folks that Split Fire are simply the best to work with I’m thinking you won’t be selling that machine anytime soon ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️split fire
Good honest review Genin. Looks like a pretty good vertical machine for the money. Definitely a quick entry level vertical splitter for sure. Pretty impressed honestly. Especially for the price point!
Hey Gennin. That would be a nice little splitter for splitting inside a heated shop in the winter. I believe Up in Smoke has an electric motor on his. Nice splitter. I really would love to have one I could use in my shop. Later bud
Awesome addition to your woodyard!! I know you were excited about getting it! I think for its intended use it will be just fine. Great for someone wanting to get into the vertical platform that wants to store it inside. Its price and mobility are its strong points! If you ever get into bundles you are setup. Congrats Genin!👊🏻
@@hardworkingmanoutdoors they definitely are, where else can you get a splitter with a 3 second cycle time and a log lift for 3k delivered to your door!
@@outdoorsinthe608 I like the electric idea, it would be great if they made a 220v option that was as fast as the gas version. What makes this thing great is 3 second cycle time, give it a 6 second time and I wouldn’t like it near as much.
Great video Genin. Seems like a sweet little splitter. For a 7 1/2 ton, it looks like it does very well. I can see where the small footprint could be beneficial for some folks operations. Ideal resplit machine?
It does well for what it is, I know manufacturers push the “ resplit machine” idea. While that works for big time producers that can justify a dedicated machine for “ resplits” I don’t know how that works for the guy that’s trying to buy one machine and be done. I think they geared this machine for the homeowner that wants a quick machine with a log lift for a good price.
Honestly impressive little machine for the home owner! I was thinking the same thing about having a box store splitter for the nasty stuff. May be one of these in my future!
Any reason you chose not to get the extra right side work table? That circular disk above the wedge is the round peeler. If it doesn't reach, you can place a piece of firewood above the round as a spacer.
@@bwillan I chose not to get the extra table to save money. I can still order it as an add on, but I wanted to keep this thing basic and on a budget. That’s a good point on the rounder peeler.
Hi, great splitter. Couple of my friends bought the 1165v. I haven’t had a chance to try them out yet but I’m looking forward to it. I have only used the single wedge on my ultra, Seems like all I need.
I like these little splitters. I actually talked to the folks at splitfire over the phone about the 1165 this past summer, but didn’t go any further. Great video and I appreciate your honesty. 👊🏻🔥🪵
@@TwinCityFirewood it’s nice because it’s small and easy to handle, but also lacks the big work area and power of the big verticals. For the money though, tough to beat!
@@alltherpm I thought the same thing, but I think metal wear is minimal, I’m sure they used thicker wall tubing for it. Splitfire has been around I’m sure they did there due diligence before bringing it to market.
@@robertzalaker4775 wobbling may be the camera. the unit doesn’t have big outriggers like the eastonmade axis so it’s kind of tippy with its narrow footprint. Log lift is rated for 150. It’ll definitely lift up the max diameter this thing should be splitting.
Looking at you operating it, it feels about as fast as the ultra, with a bit more control on the size and quality of the splits and with the benefit of a better posture while operating it.

@@theyorkwoods I remember somone at the hotel mentioning it!
The more I see these machines, the more I am interested. Cool idea on the fork pockets!
@@oakiewoodsman they are very satisfying to use, the fork pockets will be ideal for moving it since it’s so light.
Hey Genin. That machine appears to be a great value for the money. The cycle time is surprisingly fast. Perfect for re-splits and bundle wood.
Great value for the money considering it’s 3 seconds and a log lift! Thanks for stopping by OGF!
Cool man! Excited to see this in use. Split-Fire makes a wonderful product. Love my 3490!
@@oakiewoodsman I’m excited to get some time on it, so far so good!

@@dantabler9301 I think I’ll enjoy it, is so pleasing to use with the right wood and I love be able to easily stack as I go. Thanks for watching!
@ I ordered the extra table on the right side. Should be an easy add on if you decide you want to do that
Good honest review Genin. Looks like a pretty good vertical machine for the money. Definitely a quick entry level vertical splitter for sure. Pretty impressed honestly. Especially for the price point!
@@McKameyFarms great for the money, where else can you get a 3 second cycle time and a log lift for 3k delivered to your house. I like it so far!

This 1165 is definitely on my radar this coming Spring. Perfect for inside the garage (electric version). Great job 👍
@@ShermanLawncareAndFirewood electric version is very cool!
@ BUT Genin…is it as cool as a ported saw of some sort that I don’t need ? Hahaha
I am looking forward to more work for this machine! 👍
@@jdubbink98 more videos coming soon! Thanks for watching 👍
For the price how can you go wrong! That's a great little machine right there
@@WilleysFirewood that’s exactly right!
Seems to be best at making small wood for city folk
@@philliphall5198 definitely good at that, and that’s where the money’s at!
For the price, I really don’t know how you can beat that. 👍🏻
I agree, it’s not perfect but with a 3 second cycle time and a log lift, it’s hard to beat for the cost!
Splitfire splitters would work for me. Nice!
@@everettt8301 they make some great stuff that’s different than most manufacturers 👍

@@TheHelmanHomestead definitely keep it around for the nasty but good rounds!
I've had mine since august, pretty amazed at what it will split. Havent touched my commercial horizontal splitter since lol.
@@patrapper2077 it’s simple and convenient to use for a solo operation!
Great to see another satisfied user of our little 1165V. Thanks you for choosing Split-Fire, we truly appreciate it.
@@SplitFireSalesInc thanks for building a machine to fill the gap in the market, average guy like me can now split fast and vertical!
Nice machine! Ive thought about this but haven't pulled the trigger purchase. Stay Hydrated and Have a Safe Day

Nice spliter but oil in the beam seams like not a good place cause of wear, but alot of grease might help
@@alltherpm I've used spray silicone on mine, but I wouldn't use grease on the plastic slides.
@@alltherpm I thought the same thing, but I think metal wear is minimal, I’m sure they used thicker wall tubing for it. Splitfire has been around I’m sure they did there due diligence before bringing it to market.
its fast but why is it wobbling so much.also how much can the log lift handle?

I have a axis thats a great machine for the money
Yep the axis is awesome!
If i hadn't spent money on my Wolfe ridge already I probably would have got an 1165 when they came out
@@shotlifffamilyfirewood 2 very different machines, I’m sure your very happy with your wolf ridge!
What kind of wood were you splitting?
@@reddawg532 locust
Minnie Pearl.
@@iffykidmn8170 yes!
Morning Genin , I’ve been looking at these splitters . Never ran one but it would most likely work for what I do . Thanks for the honest review . 👍🏻🪵
@@inthebackyardwithdel438 hey del, there definitely great for the smaller producer. Super pleasing to run! Thanks for stopping by 👍
