  • Takes rounds up to 12.6 in across, more than most plug-in splitters
  • Runs from a household outlet, so it can work in a garage
  • Two-year residential warranty
Cons
  • A cycle of up to 23 s makes big piles slow going
  • At 165 lb it is heavy to lift onto a bench or truck
  • Works at ground level unless you buy the stand
