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.

rson to use.
It will snap your spine, it's ideal for two guys or a tank due to the torque produced.
If it's stone ground do some test holes first. And rest between ten to twenty holes.
Always use extension bar never put on the ground low or expect to be on your A..e
We love it.

, j’ai reçu le souffleur très rapidement.J’ai même pas fait attention si la notice est en Français, j’ai juste suivi les images : 3 trucs à emboiter, c’est vite fait.Ya bien une pompe d’amorçage (c’était pas précisé). Pas eu de souci pour démarrer.Ca souffle fort, plus fort que mon électrique de 1800W, mais je suis content de pas avoir pris plus petit (j’ai le 65cc).J’ai aussi apprécié les petits accessoires fournis avec (gants, casque etc…).Au final je suis vraiment content de mon achat :C’est comme un sac à dos, on ne le sens plus. Et fini cette p***** de rallonge de m**** qui s’emmêle autour de n’importe quoi et qui veut obstinément finir dans la piscine !Ca devient carrément ludique, mais c’est beaucoup plus bruyant qu’un électrique.Le seul défaut, c'est qu'on peut pas couper le soufle (sans couper le moteur): même au ralenti, ca souffle un peu. C'est déroutant au début.

iguilles de pin, de pommes de pin et autres brindilles. Le travail se fait en 3,4 mn, efficacement. Je trouve la soufflerie suffisamment puissante pour ce travail. Ce souffleur démarre finalement pas trop mal si on suit à la lettre le mode d'emploi (il me semble que le réservoir doit être complètement rempli pour un bon amorçage). Le port sur le dos n'est pas désagréable (il n'est pas lourd) et les bretelles tiennent bien.

ct came with very easy instructions and Safety guidance when setting up and starting for the first time. Straight forward to assemble and very sturdy once put together. I have a field and a hill that has seen off a couple of strimmers over the years. Great value for its money, plus safety equipment that comes with it is standard but good. And this is from a Health and Safety Advisor.

age mais rapidement résolues, fabrication du mélange huile, essence facile grâce au bidon doseur, démarrage et prise en main facile, un peu lourd mais bien équilibré donc pas trop de fatigue. À voir pour la fiabilité dans le temps, depuis sa mise en route 3 utilisations, donc pas assez de recul pour juger de sa fiabilité. Produit que je pourrais recommander
