I wasn't joking and neither was TGB. You could put either of the big two's logos on the side and sell as a kit with bottles for mix and oil and people would go for it.

 

It's a modular system don't you know.

Hhahaha, wine bottles! Thats brilliant!

 

But seriously I love my (older style) husqvarna combi can, apart from:

 

1)The price

2)The flimsy non-spill filler which broke within a month (second one has been good, but not cheap)

3)Lack of clear portion to see how much fuel is in at a glance

4)Should have a non-spill for the oil

 

Looks like the new one is more sturdy and better designed.

I've always thought combi cans were a bit frivolous but I'm now sure of it (to the tune of £41.94 + £4.95 shipping!).

 

Instead, for £5.99 and free shipping, buy this:

LARGE COOL BAGS COOLER BAGS BOXES CAMPING DRINKS BAGS FREEZER CHILLED INSULATED | eBay

 

into which you put:

7x 75cl wine bottles = 5.1 litres saw mix

3x 1 litre pop bottles = 3 litres oil

Space for a tool/file pouch, first aid kit, paperwork folder etc.

Deluxe models with shoulderstrap probably available.

 

Bag is £40.90 cheaper (or you might already have one in the garage) than combi. Bottles are free at the local bottle bank. The fuel is insulated from the sun and won't spray under pressure. It's not possible to pour oil over your arm after forgetting to put the cap back on.

 

You can look the part with a (less practical IMO) combi can or have 6 free 5 litre mixes. Toughie.

 

LOL!!!:laugh1:

i,ll take 1, on demo for you :biggrin:

 

Would you like me to fill it with aspen as well? :001_smile:

 

Mendiglogs, its 2016, I think they might have a photo of it at this APF:thumbup1:

 

The pricing will come down when we finally get them in and see the invoice, just in case they made any changes to the supply price etc.

 

Those who have paid pre order price will be refunded the difference.
