I bought my unit three years ago for $129 - a returned item. I bought it expecting a small challenge - and it presented itself in the form of a carb… Read more

that needed cleaning. Cleaned it, and worked well - $129 for 6 tools on a 2 stroke engine is cheap.

Engine fires up within 3 pulls if tuned properly and the correct sequence is followed. It is a heavy unit - but the engine is 32cc vs 25cc of other lighter units. My carb did experience a blockage, and I seized the engine. While looking at how much money I would need.... realised I could order replacement parts from China. $32 later and got a new cylinder engine and fitted it, ran it in and now it starts 1st or 2nd pull!

For the price, the unit is adequate - if you expect Stihl quality (over $2K for $200 that is not possible) - and is durable. The most used item is the hedger and the pruning saw which helps keep taller branches out of the way.

The market is saturated with X in 1 multitools - these are just clones of the same product with some tweaks / different stickers. Most parts are interchangeable from the supply chain - just search on Aliexpress or amazon.

Why did I give it 4 stars then? While I am happy for the cost, something went wrong. The little wire tang that connects the accelerator cable broke - it is flimsy as, and while there are ways to repair it, the only way to repair is by buying a whole handle. Bit overkill needing a cable end yet spend $30 for a whole handle.

If you are on a budget - worth it, but you may need to troubleshoot a bit should things go wrong.
