In my experience not very good quality, I bought an extended hedge
cutter which failed on its first outing and then an electric chain saw
which also failed on first use, both mechanical failures.
Screwfix replaced them no problem but haven't used the new ones yet.

It looks similar to the cheap Chinese one I bought about six years ago on
Ebay. Mine is still working well but needs a sniff of gas from the blowtorch
to start easily.

I bought one of those last year, and it has been fine. still starts ok,
nothing has broken and it all still works. Attachments seem reasonably
easy to change, not to fiddly. Obviously, if you need to be doing it to
often you should probably look at separate tools. Harness is basic but
functional, seems reasonably well balance when used as strimmer/brush
cutter.

I don't think it's really a deal though, it seems to be what it sells
for for most of the time. But I think it's good value for £150. I'm
happy with mine.

However it is a budget tool (relatively) and as is common bear a couple
of things in mind.

1. QC seems to often be a bit suspect - hence the disparate reviews I
think. Most are ok, but some get through that just seem a bit crap. But
Screwfix are good at replacing stuff.

2. You probably won't get spares for anything that isn't generic - if it
breaks you'll need to look at getting it replaced.
