BU-KO 52cc Long Reach Petrol Multi Functional Garden Tool: Petrol Strimmers and Brush Cutter, Extendable Petrol Hedge Trimmer, Pruner Chainsaw, Petrol Grass Trimmers, 75cm Extension Pole, Toolbag

Product Information

The fuel tank has a capacity of 0.8 litres, which should last a lot longer than any cordless electrical strimmer, and the two-stroke oil to petrol mixing ratio is 1:25. The strimming is done by a twin line, nylon cutter and for the brush cutter a 3 toothed metal cutting blade that makes light work of anything you want to trim, even with grass as long as 40cm and brambles so it’s up to the task. Although at first glance, they could be confused with a brush cutter or even a garden multi-tool, petrol strimmers are less heavy-duty than those more powerful than electric strimmers or cordless strimmers. and are only really suited to getting that perfect edge on your lawn. Petrol strimmers are best suited for those of you who have large lawns or long garden paths to keep neat and tidy but are a bit overkill if you only have a small or average-sized garden. For most people, an electric strimmer or cordless strimmer will be more than enough.

I’ve personally owned a few Stihl products over the years, and one thing that has always stood out for me is how easy their petrol tools start, and I was happy to see that this trend is continuing in the FS55. Unlike some, where you have to yank the cord quite hard multiple times, the FS55 only required a couple of smooth pulls and the 27.2cc engine burst into life.The engine has automatic decompression to make starting it easier and there is also a primer pump for cold starts as you would expect from Makita, a top maker of petrol strimmers. What’s more, the reliability of the engine starting up is only comparable to the excellent Stihl product. The Parkerbrand petrol strimmer comes with its own harness, it is padded, and of decent quality, like the strimmer itself but I think the design is a little overcomplicated for no apparent reason. Again though, I’m trying to find fault with this piece of kit for fairness sake. The split shaft design of the strimmer frame gives you two long handlebars to hold onto and helps you to control the 10+kg weight of the product. The manufacturer has made sure that you can comfortably enjoy excellent gardening times with Timberpro. it’s the reason why this machine includes all the protective gears like ear defenders, gloves and safety glasses. An included fuel mixing container is helpful when you need to refill the tool. The unit also includes a cover for its chainsaw that ensure your safety. The other thing that niggled me was the less than helpful instructions. This is actually a pet hate of mine and I grumble at the best of times, but this time they were particularly bad, even contradictory. Having said that, it isn’t the hardest tool in the world to work out of to assemble and operate, and there are videos online to show you what you need to know.

Complaints I have are – the instructions need a bit of improvement. The pictures are too small and not clear. Also changing the spark plugs on this model takes a fair bit of time, though it’s not done that often. Finally, for , I think there should have been a shoulder harness included just in case you’re using a brush cutter attachment. Other handy features that Mculloch has seen to adding are that you can access the air filter without the need of tools, and made the fuel tank transparent so you know when it’s getting close to the time to fill up. Thankfully, with it’s excellent fuel consumption, those refills are few and far between.

With their EBH252U model, Makita has chosen to go with a 1 horsepower, 24.5cc 4 stroke engine instead. This engine is quieter than 2 stroke types and the clean exhaust system makes sure minimal emissions are released. Being one of only a few 4 stroke petrol strimmers for sale in the UK at the moment, it’s a league above most of what we’ve reviewed in terms of quality and although costing much more money, I can’t help but think it’s still extremely good value. The vast majority of petrol strimmers are fitted with two-stroke engines. These engines are not the same as what you find in your car, and you can’t just pour unleaded petrol into them without it being mixed with semi-synthetic 2-stroke oil first. The ratio for this mix will differ slightly from product to product, but it should be clearly presented to you in the instructions that come with each strimmer. Then, the strimmer with a diameter of 18 inches comes handy when you want to get rid of weeds and long grasses. It has a strong and durable nylon string that works for long. You will also find a protective cover for added safety. After attaching the strimmer with the engine and extensions pole, the total length becomes 3200 mm.

As with most things, this robustness comes at a price and the price is an increase in weight when compared to plastic only models. Don’t let that put you off, it’s light enough for almost all to handle. With a bit of adjustment, the harness that comes with the strimmer helps to make the machine feel lighter than its 9.15kg. The handlebar design helps to keep the weight load spread out evenly too. The tools provided could use work, but this is true for the vast majority of assembly tools that come with these strimmers.Attachments: New Design Strimmer Attachment with Strimmer Heads (Petrol strimmers and Brush cutter, Grass Trimmer Head, 3 Tooth Brush Cutter Blade, 40 Tooth Brush Cutter Blade), Long Reach Chainsaw Attachment, Long Reach Hedge Trimmer Attachment and 75cm Extension Pole You will like the fact that this unit has an advanced quality strimmer head that takes care of weeds and unwanted growths without any second thought. The chainsaw pruner comes with a knob, which is very helpful while assembly. Then, the hedge trimmer is also adjustable using only one hand. You can change its cutting angles anywhere between 90 to 270 degree. The not so great things that you have to put up with when using a petrol strimmer are extra maintenance and running costs. You will need to make sure you have a can of petrol on hand and you will also need oil to keep the motor lubricated and to change spark plugs and such from time to time. Stihl is a common choice of petrol strimmer for professional gardeners. Chosen for their superb reliability, and outstanding build quality, they are the products to go for if you don’t mind spending the money. Investing in the Chester 5-in-1 one tool is not risky because its engine is reliable and never experiences downtime. The built quality is long-lasting and it comprises all the tools that you need to maintain your garden. Always remember that this machine seeks a fuel mix of 40:1 and has an overall weight of 8 kg.

Another excellent tool included with this unit is lawn trimmer, which is easy to use and offer excellent results without asking for much of your time. The brush cutter comes with a 4 teeth blade that easily cuts through brambles and other unwanted overgrowths. Hyundai HYMT5200X is a compact gardening tool that saves you from investing on multiple maintenance products. It’s also a space saver because you don’t need open space to secure five different tools. Using an extension shaft worth 800 mm, you can easily reach tall branches and get the required shape on high hedges. A chainsaw with 295 mm cutting bar is perfect to prune small or medium branches and cutting firewood. Once used in combination with the extension shaft, the chainsaw reaches up to 4 meters from the ground. The chainsaw is useful when you need to cut small logs and branches. For added convenience, it has a lifelong automatic chain lubrication. A 52cc, 2 stroke engine powers this petrol strimmer and it is capable of 2.2kw at 7500rpm and you would have to say in engine terms better value when compared to the TRUESHOPPING strimmer as it’s the same price for a bigger engine. For the layman, it has plenty of power, more than enough to cut through the densest of vegetation. Not a heavyweight winner, provides all the required tools, has a powerful engine and is available at a budget-friendly price tag. Looks like Chester has added all the qualities that a multi-purpose garden tool deserves to enjoy your garden shed.
