Get the Job Done the Right Way

Engineered for performance, built to last—everything you need to power through the toughest tasks.

Fast

Split up to 16 pieces per minute—crushing rounds up to 42” wide with machine-powered precision. SideTool keeps up when other splitters slow down.

Easy

No extra hoses, fittings, or complicated setup. It mounts directly to your existing coupler and thumb so you can bolt it on and get to work—fast.

Hardened Steel

Crafted from high-strength hardened A572 grade steel—tough enough for extreme impact, built to outlast anything you throw at it.

Mechanical

No moving parts to break down. The splitter works in tandem with your excavator’s existing thumb for minimal maintenance and maximum reliability.

No Hydraulics

No need to tap into auxiliary hydraulics—SideTool uses the power and control of your machine’s thumb to do the heavy lifting.

Total Precision

You stay in complete control right from the cab, managing position, split, and stack with precision. There’s no need for extra crew.

Fits Coupler

Mounts directly to your existing coupler system—no custom brackets, no special adapters, and no downtime. Just hook up and get to work.

Grade 8 Hardware

Secured with high-tensile Grade 8 bolts for maximum clamping force—built to withstand punishing loads, constant vibration, and work in any condition.

Made in the USA

Proudly built in Washington state using American-made materials. Every detail reflects our commitment to rugged durability and proven performance.
