Customer Reviews

I've been heating my cabin with wood for over twenty years, and I'm on my third log splitter. My Dirty Hand Tools 22-ton is hands-down the best investment I've made for my property. After my old splitter finally gave out, I researched for weeks before taking the plunge. The difference is night and day! This beast powers through 24" oak logs like they're nothing. The cycle time is quick, and the engine starts reliably even in our cold mountain mornings. What really impressed me was when I needed to replace the hydraulic filter last month. Their replacement parts were in stock, reasonably priced, and shipped quickly. None of that "proprietary parts at inflated prices" nonsense that some companies pull. If you're on the fence about which brand to go with for serious work, trust me - your hands will get dirty, but the job will get done right.

Oh. My. Goodness!!! Just got our DHT plate compactor delivered yesterday and already tackled our patio project that's been sitting half-finished for MONTHS! My husband kept renting equipment that would break down or wasn't powerful enough, wasting both money and weekends. This compactor is seriously a game-changer for DIYers like us! It's compact enough that I can manage it (I'm 5'4" and not exactly a powerlifter lol) but has PLENTY of force to properly set our pavers. The removable paving pad is genius for protecting our expensive stones. Assembly took about 30 minutes, and the instructions were actually clear (miracle of miracles). The price point made me nervous at first – would this be another disappointment? – but after using it I can confidently say it performs like equipment twice the price. Already planning to check out their post hole digger for our fence project next spring! 💪🏼🏡✨

As someone who's spent forty years in construction and now manages my ten-acre property in retirement, I can appreciate quality equipment. The Dirty Hand Tools Model 100 three-point hitch post hole digger has proven itself a worthy addition to my tractor implements. The construction is solid and well-engineered, with appropriate attention to stress points that often fail in lesser equipment. I particularly appreciate the compatibility with both Category 1 and 2 tractors, allowing flexibility when I upgrade my equipment. The auger connection is straightforward and secure. My only criticism—and the reason for four stars rather than five—is that the included instructions could benefit from more detailed diagrams for initial setup. Once assembled, however, performance has been exemplary. I've installed approximately 200 fence posts this season with minimal maintenance required. The value-to-performance ratio exceeds that of more expensive brands I've utilized throughout my professional career.

Never thought I'd get excited about yard equipment but here we are! When we moved to our property last year, we inherited massive brush piles from the previous owners. After struggling with inadequate tools, my wife suggested we look into something more serious. Best decision ever! The Dirty Hand Tools chipper/shredder transformed weekend chores from exhausting to (dare I say) fun! It's powerful enough to handle everything we've thrown at it, but not intimidating to operate. I was nervous about maintenance since I'm not mechanically inclined, but everything is accessible and logical. What I really want to highlight is how we accidentally ordered the wrong replacement part for routine maintenance. Their customer service was INCREDIBLE. The rep immediately identified our mistake and made sure we got the correct part within days. No condescension, no hassle. Just helpful service that recognized we're learning as we go. For that alone, they've earned a customer for life!

Listen up, folks. I don't write reviews often, but I gotta give credit where it's due. Bought the DHT all-terrain power cart last fall after my back finally said "no more" to wheelbarrows. This thing is a BEAST. I heat exclusively with wood, and moving 6+ cords each season used to take me weeks of back-breaking trips. This cart with its 660-pound capacity has changed everything. The tracks handle my hillside property no problem - mud, snow, rocky patches, doesn't matter. The 4-speed transmission gives me options depending on load and terrain. What impressed me most was when we got 18" of wet spring snow and I needed to haul feed to my livestock. The old me would've been stuck making multiple exhausting trips. Instead, I loaded up the cart and it powered through drifts without complaint. The removable sides are genius for different loads too. Built like tanks used to be built. If you're doing serious work on serious land, this is your answer. Worth every penny and then some.
