Good quality, twice the weight.

Only annoying probs ...

The hedge trimmer head does not lock back at 180 degrees for storage/transport (its about 140).

The chainsaw head and hedge trimmer heads need different tools (one is a 4mm allen key the other is a screwdriver)

The short handle on the drive end of the trimmer can get in the way (Stihl ones are angled correctly)

 

Overall though its very robust and very reliable, just work on the Popeye arms.

Good build quality.

Lighter than the Stihl and Husky.

Cuts much better and always will.

The annoying handle comes off with two bolts.

Proper grease nipples so easy to grease.

The angle adjustment on the head is now much improved.

Better than the Stihl.

Lighter and as good as the Husky.

I've got all three brands and had all three before these three.

The next one will be an Echo.

agree with old mill, benn using echo long reach since they first came on the market. older versions minor adjustment to get 180 foldback, otherwise excellent machinery. tendency to rest on pullcord casing, so glued extrs plastic on to reinforce. best to get spare parts from the U.S. unless you have contacts in Japan.
