  Looks like a 6-in-1 weapon which can cause some serious damage.

      For hand tools like these, I find that battery powered ones are the better choice. Cleaner, less noisy and needs less maintenance.

      You are right as far as lawnmowers are concerned though. Even the cheapest 4-stroke lawnmower is either better than or same as an expensive battery powered mower.

  For those familiar with this brand, is it something you'd recommend?

    I bought Rok's petrol hedge trimmer and chainsaw from BigW (so not the 6-in-1 as per this deal) and returned them both for a full refund days later. All Rok tools are very poor quality and both broke after minimal use.

  I'm looking for a line trimmer was looking around $100 mark. This seems to come with some additional gear which is useful to me too. Any recommendations on this brand? Previously had a Wesco from masters for 4 years and had bought it for $50.

    How was the wesco?

      Contrary to the reviews online. Mine hasn't skipped a beat. I still use it but was thinking about getting a new one just because I was hoping the Wesco to break down( and it hasn't).

  Ok, so I have had this thing for 1 day and used once and the low-down on my unit is as follows:

  • It's badly engineered - the click mechanism to change heads doesn't work properly. Trying to take a head off to attach another is almost impossible due to the spring loaded clamping pin not releasing even though the lock nut is undone;
  • The shoulder strap is pretty short - if your over 6'1 you won't be able to use the strap across your body;
  • The lock-nuts provided for the handle attachment didn't screw on due to a poor thread pattern on the lock nuts;
  • The trigger handle swivels despite tightening all the screws to the point that the plastic handle casing almost split;
  • The trigger handle and on/off switch is made of cheap plastic and the on/off switch looks like it will break with continued use;
  • There are no instructions whatsoever in the box, I know my way around petrol lawn equipment so I was lucky. Can't see that being the case if you don't know what you're doing as assembly is required (but no instructions given on how to do) so;
  • The unit is extremely heavy - back end weighs about 6-7kgs and the long shafts for each attachment add further weight, making using this unit for longer than 15-20 minutes tiresome and uncomfortable. Trying to use the hedge trimmer above shoulder height is difficult (again due to the weight of the unit).

  Suffice to say I will be making a hasty trip back to Masters to return this POC. As mentioned above you get what you pay for…
