Looking for cheap petrol pole saw

mikefoxo

have a lot of low hanging branches to cut (up to maybe 10ft off the ground), as well as high hedges that routinely need cutting, so would need a hedgecutter attachment too. Been getting away with it for years just using a ladder or standing in a trailer but having the right tool would make life a lot easier. had a quick look and stuff seems to be very pricey. cant be electric as too far away from a power source. It's something that'd be used maybe once every 2 weeks. anyone any recomendations?

I just bought one in either Lidl or Aldi a month ago. Chainsaw head hedge cutter and strimmer. You couldn't go wrong for €159! With a 3 year warranty. If you try they might have some in the store not sold.

have you any trouble with the screws for tightening the attachments together coming loose?

I got a Texan strimmer/polesaw from Southern Machinary outside Naas. Cant remember the price but they were way cheaper than anything else and it has the best 2 stroke engine out of anything I've owned

No Problem with the screws coming loose as i haven't used it yet.:)

The nuts loosen on mine when using the chainsaw attachment and now the threads on the screws are damaged from vibrating off the bracket they're in.

I have a Ryobi one, the pole saw part is brand new never used. It's a split shaft so you can attach strimmer and other attachements. Got it as a present, I'd sell it.
