Our flame tower blew over in a storm and the glass smashed - this replacement fitted perfectly.

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.

what its meant to - bore holes. It makes putting in fence posts a lot easier, I've done 50 metres of fencing so far.The motor is surprisingly powerful and you do have to concentrate when using it. Included in the package are some nice extras like hand and face protection and a dedicated fence post level. All in this have been a really useful time saver for putting up fencing.

ce, starts first time, light on the body and digs to 900mm easily. I was erecting 2 100mm sq steel field gate posts so used the 100 and 150 augers in sequence. The 150mm was perfect leaving enough space for concrete packing. Easy to use in Clay but at the other end it was made up ground with ‘Type 1’ aggregate so stoney, had to clear stones of auger regularly, no real problem - I was also using the digging spade to lift debris out as it was so deep. Did the job wonderfully can recommend.

now. Easy to put together, not heavy to wear, starts first or second pull. Good amount of power to it, works well even on large quantities of leaves or very wet leaves. Noisy! But to be expected of a 2 stroke. So make sure you wear ear protection. Had a slight issue with the fuel filler cap after about a year of ownership, but the company sorted that quickly without any quibbles.
