Great tool, some work on instructions particularly on the assembly of the chain saw head would be useful hence the 4 stars. With the tool extended it is quite heavy to use. The chainsaw head is a game changer this is great for tree pruning etc.
Cutting pieces are heavy to work with, especially when used horizontally rather than vertically. I would have liked the hedge cutter to have more cutting angles, I.e. one between 90 degrees and 45 degrees. But otherwise it made a good job of squaring up a cedar hedge. The chain saw took a while to work out (I initially put the chain on in the wrong direction) but when I fitted it correctly it cut through 10cm branches like butter. So, all in all a decent enough piece of equipment for the money.
Good bit of kit. The only nag is the oil that tends to leak out of the reservoir for the chain saw. The shoulder strap connection tends to detach from the unit when used unusual angles.
very easy to use , very sharp cuts well ,motors is power- full , good adjustment in length and angle of cut this means that i need only one hedge trimmer for all heights in the past needed long reach and short reach trimmers chainsaw means that i can prune and cut branches easily
Apparently not! This hedge trimmer cut swathes off a very overgrown leylandii, so much so that it didn’t stick once and I didn’t actually need the chainsaw attachment. It cut branches of I guess about 10mm no problem.
With the extender I reached the top of the hedge, 3.5m high, and even managed to almost square off the top with the angled facility.
So I guess this is just a review of the trimmer, not the chainsaw, but absolutely 5/5 for the trimmer.
It’s not perfect. Instructions pretty poor, takes a little while to suss but I got there. Still no idea how the shoulder attachment connection is meant to work, but as one of the clips easily became unseated anyway, I swapped it out for a small karabiner and all was good.
Concerns –
Instructions are worse than useless which is particularly an issue with assembling the chainsaw as it comes in numerous bits so learning how to fit the chain as well as full assembly took some working out.
It’s heavy and takes time to understand the best way to handle it, especially at full stretch, practice first and try to keep the size as small as possible, on full extension it’s difficult, I suggest you always use the chainsaw at the smallest possible length.
The chain does sometimes come off so be prepared to have to refit it during a job, you really need to make sure the bolt is as tight as possible, I also found it was more inclined to come off on branches which were not that thick so tended to vibrate a bit which it doesn’t like.
Overall I think this is good value and does the job.
Then I set out on the annual trim of two trees which need kept to about 8/9ft. Using the hedge trimmer was easy on thin branches, and the chain saw was brilliant on the thicker ones. Job done in no time!
Good value for money and (with practice) good results – and a chain saw. Excellent!
Instructions to assemble are vague, I’m not entirely sure how the strap is meant to go together but got it working for me. Also worked out myself to clamp the saw chain as tight as possible so it doesn’t slack.
There’s reference to Ryobi in the instructions so think you are essentially getting a Ryobi unit rebadged.
Cutting capability seems good.
Shame you can’t use each unit without the extension pole attached, even in its shortest setting it’s pretty long so low level works are quite clumsy. Otherwise v happy.
I decided on this mainly because of the price and that it came with a chain saw.
My Leylandii was certainly going to get it now.
The trimmer arrived and I had it set up within minutes, put the oil in the chain reservoir (doesn’t come with oil) and plugged it in.
Yes it’s slightly heavy but no trouble for me. On full extension it made mince meat of my Leylandii. The chainsaw effortlessly went through the really thick branches.
I wish I bought this years ago.
5 STARS. 89 > bloody bargain.
The trimmer is well made, cuts well, and seems tough enough to last.
