I'm looking at these at the moment, not too much money, and
specifically the
Logmaster currently advertised in The Times at £199, and the Ferm from
Screwfix at £99. anyone have any knowledge of either of these?

No. We (a tree felling company) always used steel wedges and a sledge hammer.

My neighbour in Belgium had a marvellous hydraulic log splitter (and a
concession in the local forest to go with it). Cheap ones probably will
not last. Ideal way for a retired pensioner to generate logs as fuel.

Given the way British Gas intend to rip off consumers of gas and
electricity it may become a growth industry.
