    Default Anything useful from EBAY?

    Hey guys just asking for everyones' advice on ebay stuff/equipment you found useful.

    2)Got a BG85 2nd hand blower which is rough but still does the job.

    Anyone know about these machine?

    cant tell you about the multi tool but brother brought one of there chainsaws for a job { his husky was getting repaired at the time he droped it }
    cost him about 180 delivered starts first time every time and now has done about 40 hours work and still going strong hes attitude is its payed for itself many many times over and when it dies its going in the bin but untill the he just revs the **** out of it and treats it like he stole it ha ha { some times you just get lucky }

    i bought one each of these and they are not too bad for the money,the chain saw is great but can be hard to start.but for the money they make great back up machines.

    I've been having trouble looking for hedgers, multi-tools and chainsaws here in Townsville. All the ones I've seen are big commercial ones and I only just need the tools for one off jobs like say 2-3 jobs per week.

    I may just give these bad boys a go.

    My Baumr chainsaw is without a doubt the best tool I've bought from a cost perspective. Paid for itself on the 1st day & since earned a lot of moolah.When it sh*ts itself I will definitely get another if not earlier while the price is right!
    Don't know about the multi but would suggest lookig at agrmachinery as they have been very good to deal with - replacing parts for nothing when needed.

    That multi doesn't look too bad but not something I would rely on. At least the hedge trimmer has a metal gearbox, not plastic as I saw the other day. The pole pruner looks domestic at best but If would do the job if you were careful with it. What caught my attention was the claimed 1.3kW engine, that's quite a bit for a 31cc engine.

    Did well with the honda but i think you may have paid too much for the blower whats bunnings price on a pope blower i know the pope hedger was only like 120.

    My pope hedger is a legend gets used pretty much every day some times cutting things that are too thick for it really and it never misses a beat. It is a great hedger and i would recomend it to anyone.

    Don't get me wrong. Yuor not the only one to say they are a great hedger. I've ssen what they can do. I just think they weigh too much. Other wise I would buy one myself.
