The listing was a cash convertor in Macclesfield, mailed the seller last night and it has been pulled, reckon he has been done on the deal:thumbdown:

 

All ended up OK ......appart from a possible honest seller being done earlier!

 

Caveat Emptor - buyer beware!

is it me or do they look like the stihl but with different coloured plastic. Me old man bought one, like a plonka, for 60quid at least it stops him using mine for a short time

 

I purchased a couple in a job lot, here are the problems: -

 

Top cover melts around the plug hole

Chain brake is weak and at full bore, doesn't stop the chain

Pull starter pulley is brittle and cracks

Recoil string guide pulls out and the recoil chord snaps

AV rubbers pull out of their holes

Bars are made of very soft steel and the rails wear very badly

 

Apart from that, they are damn good machines:001_rolleyes:
