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.

is came with tool kit spares etc.This is powerful and be careful if you hit a root it will grab and spin as all these tools do, cut the root out and carries on.. it makes very light work of digging 800mm holes and will save you a small fortune on post fix keeping a clean tidy post hole.Customer services are one of the best I have ever dealt with! sorted a small issue immediately and send replacement for a delivery damaged item which I received next day,, Thanks guys!

y small print and almost indecipherable diagrams to follows. It was more luck that it was eventually put together after several hours !! We have yet to fit a cylinder to see if it actually gives out decent heat. Watch this space!!

to put together but you MUST follow instructions on how to start it if you do that it starts no problem if you don't you will either flood it or it will get air locked I'm using chainsaws for 40 years and it's as good as anything out there at a fraction of the cost it will cut any kind of timber big or small in my opinion, with 4 chains and 2 bars how could anyone go wrong.
