Pole pruner/Long reach recommendations ?

[MLS]

I've the stihl one which I've not had any problems with wizzies through stuff, not used Echo so can't comment used stihl Kombi with extra extension section not convinced seems wobbly and noisier from connection slots.

I've had a stihl for 15 years now, I know it sounds odd but I wouldn't recommend it.

I have had my echo pole pruner for probably 10 years and it has done some work . Although recently a local gardener friend of mine has bought a cheap version by the name Whitemoss pole pruner and heck it is identical to my echo version ?

[Suffolk-Matt]

thanks for the heads up.

 

Out of interest and to compare, are all the newer Stihls 4 mix? And is 4 mix as bad as people say?

I have a stihl HT101 4 mix nearly 3 years old and runs like new. Maybe I've just been lucky.

I have the same, it's great! I have had 3, broke 1 and then bought a second hand one to make into 1 good one, then sold that and bought a brand new one. It's a cracking bit of kit.
