BU-KO 52cc Backpack Long Reach Petrol Multi Functional Garden Tool: Petrol Strimmers and Brush Cutter, Extendable Hedge Trimmer, Pruner Chainsaw, Petrol Grass Trimmers, 3x 75cm Extension Poles

Reviewing after receipt and assembly. Not yet it used in anger, just test started it and waved it at a hedge! Definitely read the manual before assembly and use. Do not lose the little end caps designed to keep stored components free from foreign bodiesInitial assembly took a little head scratching. Once I understood what was what it was simple enough, though a second set of hands to steady things was valuable. There are sufficient tools for assembly and basic maintenance and a spare spark plug is a nice touch. So are the ear defenders, gloves, and safety glasses, though I supplemented those with a hard hat with ear defenders and a mesh face screen. I don't mind looking silly, I value my eyes and hearing!Nice to have an included sample size 2-stroke oil bottle. That thought could have carried forward to a sample size bottle of chainsaw oil. Research tells me they have different formulations, so I have that on order now.The manual seems like an odd translation. We enjoyed finding and assembling the "Carter" which is the shield from brush cutter and strimmer debris.I was very pleased that the motor is mounted on springs, which seem designed for operator comfort.I'd have preferred, but am not sure how it would be achieved, to be able to start the motor while it is on the shoulder harness. I like the zipped pocket for the toolkit at the top of the backpackCertain things are fiddly - assembling the chainsaw blade and tensioning it, but ok once I'd learned how to do it. Attaching the strimmer head required guile and ingenuity to open the strimmer cartridge, and to re-close it once attached. Again, easy when you know how to apply sufficient pressure to the places marked clearly as "Press" with a hard blunt tool. The end of the wrench works well.Connecting the extender rods is easier than disconnecting them. The internal power shaft grips tightly and needs sympathetic handling. Again, once I knew what to do it was easy and obviousWho knew we needed a grease gun? Several grease nipples which need to be greased at unspecified intervals are on the tool heads.I would like to know what was in the designer's mind putting the full filler cap in a place where the pull cord obstructs it. Ok, you can move the cord out of the way, but, well, really!Starting the engine out of the box took 10 or so pulls. I expect it to start easily now it's been fuelled and started. It's a light pull and benefits from a strong long pull.All in all this is an amazing set of tools built to a very attractive price. Despite the small niggles, five stars.------Six months and multiple uses after purchase I have found nothing to change my five star review. Yes, there are a few niggles and some good stuff:* if the throttle control slides too far up the shaft then the cable is pulled taut and the engine can race. Pull it back towards the engine and all is good. It needs to move a bit around the shaft, but not up and down. A minor design change would solve it, but is what?* Inserting the tool and the extension shafts can be tricky. The location pin is sometimes awkward to engage, but engaging it is essential to prevent the tool head from rotating in a way it;s not designed to do* Chain saw oil left in the reservoir will leak out if the chain saw head is stored incorrectly. I ought not to be surprised at that* The chain saw with all extensions deployed needs two people, one to control the motor and the other to wield the head. That was probably over ambitious, but I got the top off the tree!* The hedge trimmer cutting head could be longer for a smoother finish on hedges. However, it would then become too heavy* It's better to have a second person help you into the harness. It's perfectly possible to do it solo, and I have, often, but that extra person makes it easier* I really like the pocket for the toolkit at the top of the harness. It saves a long walk back to the shed when needing to adjust something.* Do make sure you don't unscrew the shaft extension knobs all the way by accident. The nuts the screw into are not captive. I'm considering gluing them in.* I was worried that the tool might be too heavy for long task use. Doing the harness up tight removes most of that worry. The extension shafts are well worth it, but they do add weight and reduce the time I can use itSummary? What a great tool. Any deficiencies are more than made up for in versatility and price.

The thing arrived. It looked like it had been resealed quite a few times and sent back. No instruction manual. parts missing. Not happy.

Great product. Excellent communication and after sales support resolving a few small issues.

Am yet to use it and will get back to you

Its powerful, starts first pull and is easy to use. The brush blade cut through a 1.5" Dog rose trunk and make very short work of Stinging nettles, bindweed and assorted BrushDown sides:The guard does get nocked out of position quite easily (although I am cutting brush) and if you are working under low branches the choke gets nocked on. It dose look a bit cheap.All in all though its a good buy :)

unfortunately one if the essential screws for the machine was missing. So I’m waiting to see if it arrives if not I will return the product. I can’t use it or review it until I get this one small screw.

I had no drama putting it together. It's practically ready to go anyway. Started 1st pull if you know what you are doing. Have used this machine once for strimming and once for a long hedge and couldn't fault it. Maybe be mindful which way the wind blows cause can blow fumes back at you. But so far, didn't stall once. Started perfect everytime. So great bit of kit

The shaft with the rotary cutters on the end sometimes works (shaft problem), sometimes doesn't, and mostly doesn't work when we lift it.
