I purchased the log splitter to reduce the size of purchased previously split firewood for use in my small wood stove. It has worked well for that so far. The built hard website claims that the splitter can be stored standing up in a vertical position. I strongly discourage doing that! The hydraulic control lever projects out past the small flimsy bracket that is supposed to protect it. Therefore, it is very tippy when stood up. It would be very dangerous to store it that way, especially if children are in the area.
