OMG - Do not buy this product. I waited 5 weeks for it to come back in stock. I used it twice last year and seemed a bit clumsey, hard to start and heavy but I persevered as I was determined to get the value for the money. The harness connecting eye snapped on 2nd use. This year - the petrol pipe disintegrated in the petrol tank, the exhaust manifold wobbled lose - after tightening and adding lock washers it still came lose and has now melted the plastic shroud around the engine.
On using the strimmer attachment the "bump" line feed mechanism shattered after the second "bump" on grass.
This tool comes with lots for your money - save you hard earnes cash and spend a little more for a better product. I am now considering a Stihl as I know it will do what I want and not fall apart!!!
Really not what I was expecting and affraid to say - I didn't read the reviews - Thought I had found a bargain - all I got was 10months or poor equipment - now waiting its replacement!!!
