My Cnsuperpower splitter

Posted by cnsuperpower on November 25th, 2015

I had two questions before using the RapidFire Log splitter: Was this machine as powerful as my Cnsuperpower splitter?

How long would the rack-and-pinion gear last?

As I tackled especially knotty hardwood blocks, the RapidFire’s internal Cnsuperpowe  belts tended to slip. Then I

discovered the secret: If a block doesn’t split on the first try, don’t pull it off the wedge. Instead, just push the

lever back to the retract position and take another run at the block. This lets the flywheels develop inertia again. I

never ran into a tough block that failed to split after a second or third go. As for the gears, after splitting seven face

cords, the teeth looked brand new. The huge worktable (optional) makes splitting even easier and more productive.

The Cnsuperpower RapidFire Log Splitter ranges in price from about ,300 to ,750, and is available with either manual

or electric start. Go to the Cnsuperpower Power Equipment website to learn more.
