Thehedge trimmer consists of a tough steel double-sided blade that is45 cm along with the included extension pole. On the other hand, the long reach chainsaw or pruning saw features a chainsaw blade of 30cm (12 inches), chain lubrication (auto adjustable oiler) and a chain adjustment. The strimmer has a length of approximately 1.86m and features a 3T metal blade. Some users find it heavy and that extended use can be a real challenge, however, this is a common problem with most long reach trimmers, multi tool or not. That toolkit is certainly needed for assembly though, as there are many separate parts to put together. Following the less than wonderful instructions, I managed to put this garden multi-tool together in just over an hour and a half, and I’m quite experienced with this stuff so it might take you longer. if you do have problems, you can always call the helpline and Bu-ko have got a great reputation for customer service, replacing any parts that might be damaged in transit, and helping with any user related problems.

The powerful petrol engine offers enough cutting power for even the toughest growths. Better still, it’s designed to consume less fuel than similar engines, so your fuel generally lasts much longer when using this product. The materials used to construct the tools ideally need to be of the highest quality. Why? It will save you a lot of maintenance costs and the tools will last many years. The quality and finish of the product are also essential. Does it include extra accessories such as safety equipment? These machines are easy to start, straightforward in assembly and simple to maintain. The modular system is made up of: For those of you with larger properties, or who have heavier duty jobs in mind, petrol is the way to go. What attachments are on offer? There is also the limited running time between charges to consider, and while an hour is really good, it cant compare with the workload you get out of a full tank of petrol.As well as said harness, this garden multi-tool comes with a fuel mixing bottle, and a free tool kit. The fuelling bottle does actually come in handy for getting the mix right, especially if you’re new to two-strokes, and the tool kit provided looked ok, but I always use my own set, so I can’t really comment on them. Low-cost and an essential bit of kit for anyone with garden machinery, a grease gun is required to keep your chainsaw attachment and hedge trimmer attachment in tip top condition. It is important to make it clear that they do come pre-greased so when your machine arrives you you are able to get going straight away. Select your model number eg. PGMT-5200 for a multi-tool You will the see the full display of all available parts for your machine. The 25cm chainsaw has a chain speed of twelve metres per second while cutting, and can reach maximum heights of 2.1 metres as standard, or 2.8 metres with the use of the extension pole. It has good cutting performance and is very robust as you would expect from Bosch.

One thing the Bu-ko multi-tool gives you is plenty of range. At full extension the pole will reach a huge 3.4 metres in length, and even though this does require more skill to control the attachments at this length, t certainly comes in handy for those hard to reach top branches.An often-overlooked aspect is the reach it offers. While a great reach isn’t always necessary, anyone trimming hedges or pruning branches from trees and shrubs will need a good length to their multi tool. Plus, maintaining various garden power tools is far from easy and can get costly. Because a multi tool is a single power tool, maintaining it and the various attachments is much easier than maintaining individual tools. Like most of the best petrol garden multi tools, it is powered by a 52cc air cooled 2-stroke engine, providing each attachment with enough power to cut almost any plant. The heavier weight of the tool does make using it for long periods quite taxing, although using the harness included with the multi tool does offset much of the weight. Overall, it’s a good model from a trusted brand that is known for producing affordable but reliable machines. I think it’s well worth considering for anyone looking for a multi tool, not forgetting the 3-year warranty it comes with for an added peace of mind.

The Bosch AMW10 is not really a multi-tool per se, but just a motor unit. You will need to buy individual attachments and heads separately. The only thing that’s supplied with this unit is a pole pruner. Unlike many multi-tools herein, this one must be plugged into mains electricity, which is quite limiting if you don’t have an extension cord to enable you to cut things some metres away from your house. On the good side, the 1000W electric motor is powerful enough to get most jobs done and runs quieter than most petrol motors and requires next to no maintenance.

NOTIFICATIONS

Well it is definitive value for your money. i mean you get 5 tools in 1 ,to buy these individually would most likely cost you a few hundred quid more. The total weight of the whole mechanism will vary depending on the weight of the attachment because the weight of the power unit remains 2.7kgs. For example, the hedge trimmer attachment is heavier than the line trimmer attachment. The good news is that there is a harness to help you balance the weight of the entire tool, especially for those who are working for longer periods. Whatever you decide, the battery is actually very good and if you upgrade to a 4ah, it has a long running time between charges of well over an hour. What’s more, it provides a surprising amount of power to the tool itself, allowing you to cut through 15cm diameter branches with the pole saw attachment. With both attachments, the power supplied by the 1000W motor unit was smooth and consistent, and without a doubt enough to trim hedges, cut off unwanted branches, and just about everything else you can think of. These tools are common because that cover a lot of the major gardening tasks that people have to deal with, but if you only have need for a couple of different tools, you could save money by looking for a garden multi-tool with those or one that allows you to select the attachments you need.
