Hyundai 52cc Petrol Garden 5-in-1 Multi Tool, Grass Trimmer, Brushcutter, Hedge Trimmer, Pole Saw & 800mm Extension Shaft, Soft Recoil Start, Harness Included, 3 Year Warranty

Only used the strimmer so far :) love it. Very heavy. Also the strimmer wont go through thick weeds but will damage the shed. It was weird. I recomend gettong a funnel fkr the fule or it will go everywhere. Assembily was quite simple but first time took 2 ppl.

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.

Got this as a more powerful option ie petrol! Despite the disparaging views previously for this tool I found it great straight from the box. Yes, its heavy, and I used the hedge trimmer with extension for around 5 hours on its first outing, so use the harness where you can or plain old tough it out! Very easy to set up as these thing are. Lots of power, I used the recommended E5 petrol which meant getting some super unleaded. As a result, despite again the starting problems mentioned in previous reviews, it sparked up easily after stopping several times throughout the day. Admittedly I did anticpate some restart problems from hot, but none manifested themselves, in fact one pull was enough to start up again. As for fuel, I managed the whole stint on one tank and I didnt scrimp on the throttle. Ive yet to use the brush cutter and pole pruner attachements, though previous experience and looking at the parts, I dont think there will be any bother. So, at this moment in time, easy to assemble, plenty of power, yes heavy, but its a chunk of 52cc engine, what do you expect? Seems pretty robust, nothing fell off during use, fuel consumption as expected, it has the versatility I required and to be honest was in my budget for this kind of tool, so for me, value for money. For now, I like it. Ask me again when Im cursing it!!!!!!

Easy to assemble, used today for 5 hours solid in 35°c+ temperatures cutting bushes and strumming grass didnt skip a beat, did few tanks of fuel bit id say its good pn fuel, slight weight to it as most petrol engines do but had heavier ones in the past. All round top product made its money back in one day well happy with this purchase. Read reviews and few negative ones but probs due to user error eg using cheap fuels etc, all my tools use top fuels super unleaded, optimax etc and decent 2storke mixed 40:1, easily done with the container that comes with it but need to mix twice for one tank, have my own mixing tub so no problem there, brilliant valve for money, power was spot on and its size is perfect for me

For what it is this product seems like REALLY good value. A higher range alternative is considerably more expensive and so I wasn't expecting perfection. However Hyundai's name is reassuring and, on balance, I expected better. My experience is that three out of four bolts holding the pull cord starter to the machine loosed and fell off off after several hours active use (Some hedge cutting but mostly strimming). These things happen, and for next time I'll be sure check all the bolts for tightness before using the machine. The bolts were lost somewhere in a field, but it was a reasonably easy problem to fix. And so, rather than sending the machine back for repair, I asked Hyundai for replacement bolts and suggested that I repair the machine myself. (I calculated that this would be quicker and less troublesome for all parties). But this decision was FOLLY. HUGE FOLLY because Hyundai's service department (GenPower) sent me the wrong bolts! Not once but again, and again, and again! Only on the fourth occasion did they get it right (Thank you). And so, for weeks my machine was unusable. Yes, the people that I corresponded with were communicative and seemed more than willing to help but, to get it wrong so many times, is ridiculous! There was NO excuse for this. I had very carefully gone through the required protocols. I had given the correct details, invoice number, model name - I had even sent detailed photographs of the problem. At one point I had the impression that I was dealing with a third world country (I have lived and worked in several) - although the willingness to fix the problem was there, there was a basic lack of understanding and instead, creative sidestepping - e.g. they sent me the correct bolts without the flat washers and spring washers (the factory specification) and I was told: "our parts team that the bolts have been tried out without these washers in the workshop and it works fine. Thus, if you install it without the washers, it will work as it should." Seriously? I pointed out that actively working with a machine in a field was very different to running a machine on a bench in a workshop. And that the machine was built with these washers for a reason. And, that, had I sent it to them for repair, and it had arrived back without the factory specified washers then I'd have sent it back. Fortunately they resolved to attend to this. Next, they sent me bolts that were way to big and with some washers but not all. To their credit - on the fourth attempt they managed to send the all the correct parts. Thank you. Genpower must have wasted a fortune in postage. But, they only cost me was my time and frustration. Frankly I'd preferred to have payed postage than experiencing the inconvenience. But, this was not the end. Within an hour of getting the machine restarted and in use the the fuel filter fell off inside the tank! And then, after that, the fuel tank started leaking because a fuel line slipped off!! The machine no longer starts although I have reattached the fuel line. It's been this way for weeks. For now I do not have the willpower to do battle with Hyundai's service department again. So they don't even know about the new issues. I do not have the time to waste. And so now this machine sits unused. I will do something about this sometime in the future. I have almost all of the three year warranty left. So I have plenty of time before that expires. Would I recommend this machine to others. Or, for that matter ANY Hyundai product sold in the UK. ABSOLUTELY NOT!

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.

I bought this garden Multi Tool to trim the overgrown hedges between myself and neighbour's garden. The work had become too much for my old electric long reach trimmer. I only need to use it about twice a year, and thought buying an expensive device wouldn't be cost effective. How wrong I was, it was delivered promptly. And I must say the machine looked the part. It was a little fiddly to assemble but manageable. Then came the let down, I filled it with Aspen 2, the recommended fuel. I tried to start it, as per the manufacturers instructions. I continued to do so for probably over an hour, taking short breaks, as it was energy sapping trying to get it to run. It never even fired. I contacted Amazon and asked for a refund, who said it wasn't their problem it was down to the manufacturer Hyundai, as it had a 3 year warranty. Amazon flatly refused to assist me. I did contact Hyundai who replaced the unit, with another one. That also refused to start or fire. I have since done research via You Tube/ Google and find there are various videos on there which highlight problems with this item. Hyundai have offered to replace it once more, but what's the point if I've already had two of the devices, when the power units on both haven't even offered to start never mind run? Hyundai have tried, but the response I received from Amazon leaves a great deal to be desired. The manufacturers inform me the device is one of their best selling items, well those other purchasers must have received better machines than I did. Of course, I am just relating my experience which as you have gathered isn't a good one. Also there are others who have published their experiences of the difficulties in starting the machines on You Tube. And consider this if it takes you half an hour or more to start the machine, to complete 15 minutes work what efficiency is there in having a machine which is designed to ease the labour of your gardening tasks, not add to them? I wish I hadn't bought the machine, because it's of no benefit to me whatsoever. I couldn't recommend anyone else purchasing one either. I would have been better spending a little more money and buying it from a dealer in this type of equipment rather than online, certainly doing more research and buying a different make. I don't think I will be doing any more business with Amazon either, as from my conversations with them they could, and in my opinion should have been more helpful.
