Routy56 - can you just....

[CPS]

Yep and I can even use it one handed
Loved it so much that I bought the Eskde 5 in 1 long pole tool kit thingy

I seen those too, but I decided to go cordless Milwaukee, doing my bit for the environment

ain't they just - just eyeballed them and sound like a good buy at 100 quid
just bought a 20" 62cc Hyundai petrol saw - 3 yr warranty - 129 quid ... been pleased with the other stuff I've had from them - started first pull once I'd put it together ... PO-ed with the constant battle to keep my Stihls running

I have a hyundai one too, not sure what size it is, it's a good saw too, haven't used it in ages, must take it out and fire it up.

Was actually looking at the Eskde 20" one lately too. Thought if it's like the smaller ones it would be work the punt

Not knocking it's price but seriously I'd be checking the chain brake etc before using it...
It is what it is at the end of the day ...genetic Ying tong.

have had it to bits whilst assembling it ... all looked well made Gavin

Those wee eskde saws are serious value for money. Great wee saws

Yep and I can even use it one handed

so the consensus on the Eskde is a decent little thing for the bucks then

Imo for lil jobs I'd go cordless...

got one
to suit the load of Ferrex batteries I have
very pleased with it TBF for the quick lop/chop/etc.
been more than happy with all their gear - for what I do with it .... and their 5" grinders take a pasting from me

Been toying with the idea of cordless one now for a while. I only have 5 amp batteries though, just not sure they'd be man enough

all mine are 4A x 20V/40V and last very well on the recip. and the chain ... grinders cane them though .. hence I have seven, but not so bad at 30 quid each

If your Milwaukee you'll need the bigger forge batts to get best usage out of it.

Yep, I have been looking at Hyundai stuff as well. What's their diesel generator like I wonder
I have been lucky with Stihl products and absolutely love them. Have got 3 on my fleet including the HS45 hedge cutter.
Two older chainsaws, a 029 and 030. They both start easy, work all day every day, are very heavy and give you a good work out

That 029 is a true 'Triggers Broom' with most parts including the piston and barrel replaced.
Like all two stroke stuff on modern fuels, it pays to keep an eye of the small hoses which either go brittle or soft. Another trick is for the flappy in tank fuel filter to drop off. The will run, but be a bastard to start and sound like 'Crazy Frog' when put to work

I see the price has gone up. Nearly two years ago I paid only £67.32
My brother, Graham, recommended it to me. He bought three, one for him and each of his boys
