Hyundai 52cc Long Reach 5-in-1 Petrol Garden Multi Tool with 430mm Grass Trimmer, 425mm Hedge Trimmer, 10" Pole Chainsaw, Brushcutter with 800mm extension shaft

Good so far. It started after three pulls - there's been negative feedback about new machines not starting, the switch was in the 'off' position and was really stiff to budge it for the first time. I didn't know if it was ON or OFF and therefore which direction to persuade it. The switch eventually budged with a loud click and has been easy to use since - I guess it's newness meant that the switch had seized plastic-to-plastic and had never been used. Otherwise all good so far. A neighbour has one and the ignition failed after a few months but we replaced it outside of warranty cheaply and easily, so maybe there were some faulty batches. Theirs works very hard as a brush cutter. They're so pleased they bought a second one, that's partly why I chose this one too. Hedge trimmer deals with thin twigs but nothing very thick - I've had better cutting from budget electric hedge trimmers. OK for trimming hedges but not so good at cutting back things like hawthorn. Harness is basic but OK and comfortable.

I purchased the Hyundai 52cc Long Reach 5-in-1 Petrol Garden Multi Tool with high expectations, hoping it would streamline my gardening tasks. However, my experience has been less than satisfactory. Firstly, the starting mechanism is unreliable. Despite following the instructions meticulously, the engine often requires multiple attempts to start, which is both time-consuming and frustrating. The soft-pull recoil system, touted as an easy start feature, doesn't consistently deliver on its promise. Once operational, the tool's weight becomes apparent. At 7.75kg, it's quite heavy, and even with the provided shoulder harness, prolonged use leads to significant fatigue. The harness itself is of subpar quality, offering minimal support and comfort. The attachments, while diverse, exhibit varying degrees of effectiveness. The hedge trimmer and chainsaw attachments perform adequately, but the grass trimmer and brushcutter lack precision and often struggle with tougher vegetation. Additionally, the extension pole, intended to provide extended reach, feels unstable and unwieldy, making high-reach tasks challenging. Maintenance is another concern. The tool requires frequent adjustments, and some parts, like the trimmer line, wear out quickly. Moreover, sourcing replacement parts has proven difficult, with limited availability and support. In summary, while the Hyundai 52cc Multi Tool offers versatility on paper, its practical application is hindered by starting issues, excessive weight, inconsistent attachment performance, and maintenance challenges. I would advise potential buyers to consider these factors carefully before making a purchase.

I'm a professional gardener and had to replace a Stihl strimmer which was past its best. For the money this is fantastic. I've had to use all the attachments today on a job and was impressed with it's power and versatility. The pruning saw cuts well although I'd recommend not cutting anything smaller than 10mm diameter with it. the hedge trimmer works as it should but struggled with thicker stems (unfortunately those that are too small to prune with the saw.) The mulching blade is ok but I prefer my Oregon one, the string feed works very well with it's bump feed (something that was a complete headache with my previous Stihl) It's easy to start, easy to swap attachments and although heavy the harness works well. In 8 hrs of intermittent use it consumed just under a litre of fuel. Gripes, needs a 40 to 1 mix (my other tools use the more normal 50 to 1) The kill switch is easy to accidentally operate which is frustrating. Hence the 4 stars.

This machine is a little bit heavy, and constant use can tire you out, however, what an amazing piece of equipment!! Especially with the price!! This engine is more powerful than most, and can cope with anything!🙏🏻 I always recommend using aspen fuel in all my machines, it may cost more but is really worth it! Just one of the jobs it can do would cost the same, but you have four attachments that cover most jobs, and the fifth being the extension, which is more than sufficient 👍 this makes transporting all my equipment so much more easier! One tool to do everything you need! I also bought a 20 inch Hyundai chainsaw, and I am so impressed with everything that I have bought!! Highly recommend using Hyundai equipment in the future!!👍 good quality at an amazing price! Starts easily! No fuss no problems! Look after your kit, keep good maintenance, and you will never be let down!! Can’t praise Hyundai enough!! Five stars easily!!

Not the cheapest you can buy but excellent quality and it works very well indeed. I have had a similar one from Stihl in the past and needed to get a replacement. The harness is weird to figure out at first but once you understand where the plate hangs (for me that is over my right hip) it balances the weight of the tool really well so you can use it for long periods. You will need ear defenders though (just as with any similar power tool). The motor starts easily once primed with fuel and the tank holds a really good amount. Be careful that you fit the solid spinning cutting blade though as it can vibrate if you don't. You will soon realise when you have done that. All the tools work as you would expect and make it really easy to get those jobs done in the garden.
