Do not touch their tools

My gladiator 550 ran for less than 3 hours before it failed due to a defective flywheel. This was replaced under warranty but the replacement flywheel developed the same fault in only a few hours more. I have contacted Mcculloch through their limited contact system and Mcculloch refuse to respond to me. Most reputable dealers and maintenance/repair people to whom I have spoken will not touch them with a barge pole. Be warned!!!!!!!

I believe that Mcculloch, Flymo and Electrolux are one in the same. Perhaps all their products are not fit for purpose and not of a merchantable quality.
