Hyundai HYMT5200 52cc Petrol Garden Multi Function Tool (Hedge Trimmer, Chainsaw, Brushcutter, Grass Trimmer and Extension Shaft) - 3 Years Warranty

Overall rating: No starsCan't comment on value for money, as worked for 10 mins, hence provided me with no value whatsoeverDifficult to manoeuvreVery heavySet it up with difficulty, instructions manual poor and depicts a different model on some pages.Finally managed to assemble and attempted to use the hedge trimmer.Managed to get the two stroke motor started, it was a little challenging. Began to cut my tall bush, seemed to cut okay but then after 2ish mins the motor stopped. I was pushing forward the on off switch. I have relatively large hands and using the gloves supplied it was almost unavoidable for me. After the 5th pull of the toggle to start the motor, the cord stayed out and would not retract, hence the mechanism inside broke.Probably the worst purchase I have made in my 37 years on this earth. Hope it works better for others. It is a real shame because I have a Hyundai petrol mower and this works a treat.If you have larger hands like me I would not recommend this product.

So far the assembly was pretty straight forward for the strimmer part, havent had time to try the other attachments yet. However would have preferred the instruction manual to be in colour, as its quite difficult to see the pictures in black and white.The strimmer head is innovative in that you can push through your wire without disassembling the part and then twist clockwise on the bottom blue spring loaded valve. The strimmers bumper head action to add more line takes some practice and listening to the noise when some excess is sliced off helps. Also has to be done whilst the throttle is held not whilst idle..My main draw back is the weight, im 5ft8 and found have had to lift the harness attaching hook to near chest height so my shoulders can take the strain. Long use of this is not ideal for the hands as well as there is no "always on" function for safety, your hands start to ache holding the power button down. Found the black and red wire that are visible can pull off quite easy and prevent the use of the "stop" slide button which i found out after one of the wire had pulled out somehow.Starting the strimmer is easy and doesnt usually need more than 3 pulls.Update: 09/10/2019Still going strong the unit has gone through near 10 litres of petrol so has been used many times since purchase in April. I've used the two spinning blades which I must say I prefer over the strimmer wire in most cases as my garden had tough weeds all over. The hedge trimmer attachment is great! Can't fault it cuts through ~10-15mm twigs easy.The strimmer head is annoying, in that if you hit some rock co rete edging etc and it rips the wire off. There is no way of manually unwinding to pull some more wire through due to stiffness. You have to take the whole head apart to get some more wire out then carry on from there till you hit another edge and rip the wires off again.The loop for the harness attachment, can be moved down or up slightly to ease carrying of load by loosening bolts. Found the perfect sweet spot now for carrying for one hour sessions.

I only took delivery of this multi tool a couple of days ago so have not yet to put it through its full paces yet. I was very impressed upon opening the box, everything was well packed and gave the impression of quality.Assembly was quite straightforward although a little fiddly in parts. The instruction manual was clear and easy to understand (A more comprehensive manual is available to download from the Hyundai garden tool website as I discovered earlier today).Once assembly was completed and with the nipples greased, chainsaw tension adjusted and chain oil added, the engine was fuelled up. I found starting the engine was easy.I must admit that the body harness took some untangling to get it adjusted to suit my size and it does seem a little flimsy but aftermarket harnesses are available in varying prices and quality.Operationally the strimmer/brushcutter and the hedge trimmer were perfectly satisfactory and I anticipate that the pole saw will be too.I am eagerly looking forward to giving it some hard work.Unlike what some other reviewers have reported I was supplied with the correct instructions for this model and I confirm that the chainsaw tension is adjustable.

Not what I would call a reliable and quality product from Hyundai. I've had issues with the engine not starting when I first purchased it only to realise the choke is assembled back to front so when you cold start you have to remember not to have the choke on. I've experienced problems with the fuel return pipe to the fuel tank perishing too. Recently the recoil starter is showing signs of wear and not up to the job. I wouldn't mind all this if I'd had much use from it. I have probably used it about 3 hours in total. I look after every piece of garden equipment I buy but I have to say I will not be buying Hyundai again through lack of faith

Shipped to N Ireland which was good, and when the engine seized on trials the very helpful person at customer support happily sent out a replacement engine - albeit not new. Customer service were very easy to deal with - they get five stars.Not five stars overall as all the parts haven't been used as yet - and only had it under a year - but for what you get this appears to be good value so far plus the three year guarantee is very reassuring.As others have mentioned it is heavy so may need to be used sparingly on hedges and it does heat up sufficiently to burn through clothing.
