ole saw/strimmer/hedge trimmer set, and it seemed to be pretty well made and reliable. Anyway, this turned up and seemed to be well built, too. However, it refused to start. Now I'm not exactly a stranger to small 2-stroke motors, but this one defeated me for 4 days. Not even the tiniest splutter to indicate it wanted to run, so I contacted the seller to request a return. I got an almost immediate response, including a video (about which I was skeptical) and a request for a phone number and a convenient time for an engineer to call me if the video didn't help. OK, OK, it started almost immediately, so I feel a bit of a prat, but it almost doesn't need choke at all to start and floods as soon as you look at it. Anyway, 10 out of 10 for customer service.
The saw runs really well, and was getting easier and easier to start during the weekend as it started to get run in. Second tank of fuel, and it was running sweetly. (Note: the manual says 25:1 and the saw says 40:1 for fuel/oil, and I checked with Burrowmount to see which was correct - turns out the first tank or two at 25:1 is fine for running in, then back to 40:1). One last log to chop and we're done for the weekend - the recoil starter handle comes away in my hand. OK, so the knot probably came undone, so I took the cover off and no, the cord had been cut through (presumably by the spring) and the starter had sort of self destructed. Anyway, another email to Burrowmount and a very quick reply to say that they were escalating it to their engineers. Three days later and a complete new starter arrived in the post.
So what can we conclude? For the price, don't expect Stihl quality and reliability, but that goes without saying. Chinese QA still seems to be a bit of a lottery, but these guys have the back-up to make up for any quality issues in the products. The other kit from the same supplier is fine, and having sorted it out, I have no reason to think I should have any more problems with this one. Overall, a great set-up with absolutely superb back-up and customer service.

den or something than a normal bit of strimming . Used it to clear brambles and nonsense on an allotment which was great, but due to its size doubt I'll be using it anywhere else. Happy with it though.

house per poco piu di 70 euro mi e stato spedito dalla germania,il pacco era stato restituito in precedenza lo si capiva ed era gia stato aperto e assemblato,non aveva nessun segno o graffio,il libretto di uso e manuntenzione e stato bene sfogliato in precedenza ma l articolo funziona perfettamente.Io lo uso da hobby per il mio giardino e magazzino debbo dire che e utile,non e particolarmente potente essendo una sottomarca...ora non e piu disponibile ma lo trovate in vendita con altri nomi e marche su amazon a poco piu di 105 euro ma e identico ad essi.

blems. I put the 16" bar on first and cut 14" logs with ease, both across grain and with grain. Overall a very good buy and I would recommend the 62cc to anyone. Just cut 25 logs all sizes from 8" to 18" into 11" lengths just over 100 pieces ready for log splitter. Perfect and still sharp.

d it highly. All the tools, plus two extension poles, so worth a try. However, you see many of these with identical hardware badged under different brands.First problem was the handle - it had a locating lug but there was no corresponding hole in the shaft to locate the handle into, and so the handle could not be fitted without drilling a hole in the shaft - I didn't do it. So there is a picture of the shaft and the handle with the lug.Starting it up, the throttle sticks on high. The design of this is the same on all the other clone ones I saw, not very good.The label for choke operation was put on upside down, so choke would be off when you thought it was on.The plastic felt very cheap, and the accessories were very flimsy and lightweight.Good points were the splined shaft, and the fact the shaft ran in bearings, but were they good quality?It's heavy, and after trying it for a few seconds on the hedge cutter, I drained all the fuel and asked for a refund.Sending it back was ok, a pre-paid label was issued, but dropping it in at a Post Office was a pain - it's a big heavy box.Having said that, refund was smooth so I can't complain about that.Most of it was made in PRC , but some bits had 'Japan' stamped on them.You pay your money and you take your choice, except P.R.C has eliminated most of the competition.
