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.

e. 6 o 7 tiras de la cuerda y arrancó. Tiene potencia. 200 metros de jardin en 5 minutos. Y tengo arboles de paraiso (con 10 mil bolitas) y encinas con todo su flor y hojas. Funciona bien con cesped artificial y jardineras. Pesa un poco pero no lo voy a usar todo el dia. Cable para parar el motor estaba desconectado y no podia apagarlo. Solucionado con solo volver a conectar cable. Lo recomiendo por su precio y potencia.

l conçu avec images trop petites d'où difficultés au montage; l'appareil est conçu avec une tétine et devrait l'être avec un record vissable comme cela est plus courant maintenant; c'est très difficile de trouver un tuyau de gaz simple et surtout une autre tétine coté détendeur.

200mm in diameter and 600mm deep. We did this in half a day. We had 2 problem holes where we had cut into 2 bricks which stop theAuger blade. These were removed and the blade continued on to correct depth.Used over a few jobs, this investment will have paid for its self.

to assemble and quite light on your back, there is a bit of vibration on your back but the noise level is lower than expected. Considering the blower is more powerful than my old hand held it isn't as powerful which is a bit strange. All in all not a bad product with hindsight I would buy the next model for more power.

to put together, started really easily, far easier than my 14” Einhell. This chainsaw is just as well made, and what amazing value, 2 bars, 4 chains, bag, toolkit, fuel bottle, funnel, face mask, specs and gloves, for the price tag you just can’t beat it. Tested it on a couple of logs of very well seasoned oak and it went through like butter. Fitted the 20” bar, nicely balanced and easy to control.
