This is an entry level machine. It is poorly made and poorly put together. Holes for the stand did not match up properly. Many of the bolts on the machine have not been tightened. The ram keeps jamming. There is a loose Allen bolt inside the operating lever that I cannot access to cure the problem. I have not even been able to use this machine for two sessions of splitting due to the issues with it.

It is poorly constructed of cheap metal and I have probably spent more time trying to fix it than splitting logs. Very frustrating and I would not recommend such a poor product.

It will no doubt split logs when working properly but I have not had that luxury.

The log splitter works brilliantly – definitely rapid meaning that log splitting is now much more efficient. It’s split everything I’ve offered up to it without difficulty including logs bigger than recommended. It’s also quite quiet – the electric motor only runs when actively splitting.

In reply to Leigh Fish. Due to the nature in which the fast fire splits, we do not recommend fitting the duocut blade to the fast fire. The DuoCut blade excels when the splitter is pulling the log apart whereas the fast fire uses raw force from impact to split the logs.

Can the duocut blade be used with the 6/8 Ton ‘Fast Fire’ Rapid Electric Kinetic Log Splitter?

Rapid fire log splitter my review bought it earlier in the year used it a couple of times nothing major just few logs here and there until recently had a few tonnes of wood to get through even tho it said mains connection I used a generator for power source as cables were out the question. My initial thoughts seems a beast of a machine heavy tho. So I tried it with some big logs I had ringed approx 10″ in length and about 20″ or so wide pressed the button pushed lever split first go . Knotted wood hardly a problem maybe had to do it a couple of times . I’ve only gave it 4/5 as like it was new to market nothing around to compare to it does in my view has it problems or I could be how I’ve used it as we are all different. Machine it’s self is great but I’ve found table that logs go onto a bit flimsy as several times log has caught it and bent behind splitting blade . I think you could do with more sturdier wheels on it and larger to get over wet uneven ground . Next thing they should look into is the button that you have to keep pressing to engage it it’s a proper pain . Yeah I’m quite aware it could be down to safety issues but you have lots to do beware of the cramps in your hands in my view RSI s may become an issue other than my few problems with it it’s a fantastic machine can’t knock that well that’s my honest review on it. Ps hopefully someone would give there opinion on certain things I’ve come across so far.
