The innovation of the store's flagship product
honors founder Don Kotula's
legacy
BURNSVILLE, Minn., June 1, 2023
/PRNewswire/ -- Today, Northern Tool + Equipment announces the
release of the NorthStar battery-powered log splitter, bringing all
the benefits of battery-powered technology to the store's flagship
product. Northern Tool + Equipment founder Don Kotula started the company, formerly
Northern Hydraulics, by building and selling a log splitter four
decades ago. Kotula's sons and company co-owners, Ryan and Wade,
are honoring their father's legacy by making the new
battery-powered log splitter available to customers across the
country starting today.
"We've had the privilege of watching our father build Northern
Tool + Equipment from the ground up," said Ryan & Wade Kotula. "Every day, we honor him by living
our core values: Know Your Customer, Provide Value, Act With
Integrity, Empower The Individual, Be Entrepreneurial and Have Fun.
We are humbled to launch this new product today and continue the
legacy of our father."
Built for indoor and outdoor use with horizontal and vertical
operation options, users will get the reliability, zero-emission
and low-maintenance benefits of battery-powered equipment while
experiencing the same features and performance of a gas-powered
unit. Its dependable full I-beam construction supports up to 300
splits on a single charge. Powered by a 60-volt, 30ah lithium-ion
battery, the splitter delivers 24 tons of ram force to handle the
toughest jobs.
"This is much more than a new product. It calls back to Northern
Tool + Equipment's history and legacy," said Northern Tool +
Equipment CEO Suresh Krishna. "Our
customers want more battery-powered options without compromising
performance. As an industry leader, we're proud to introduce the
first professional-grade battery-powered log splitter with
performance that matches gas-powered splitters. These innovations
will help move the entire industry forward."
The battery-powered log splitter is available for purchase
online, and limited quantities will be sold in select stores. Check
availability with your local Northern Tool + Equipment store.
