Stihl and Echo are reputed to be top of the range, but I wondered about the
reliability of the Zomax. However, decided to give it a miss - too risky.
I have now ordered a McCulloch 2500 CXL system with hedge-cutter, chain saw,
strimmer and brush-cutter. They manufacture a range of garden machinery and
power tools and claim to have invented the chain saw in 1946 (then a two man
version). They have a very sound reputation.
The reason I selected McCulloch was because my wife saw an advert by chance
on the Ideal World TV shopping channel for this kit. Priced at £199.97, plus
delivery. Got to be one of the best offers around.
Now sold out, but can be seen today -
