Eckman 2-in-1 Extendable 30cc Petrol Chainsaw and Hedge Trimmer

The Eckman “Add-It-2” 2-in-1 Petrol Chainsaw and Hedge Trimmer allows you to switch from trimming high hedges to lopping big branches quickly and easily, making tidying up your garden less of a chore.

The two interchangeable attachments; a 44cm, 180° angle-adjustable hedge trimmer and 27cm chainsaw branch lopper can be swapped within a matter of minutes and are powered by a 30cc engine.

Each attachment sits on a 66cm pole, providing 2.15m / 7ft of reach. If you are planning on trimming hedges or cutting branches that are really high up, you can add the 76cm extension pole that extends the total reach to a massive 2.85m/ 9ft 4ins, allowing you to tackle such jobs safely and with both feet still on the ground.

The hedge trimmer can also be used in a short reach position by using the unique quick-fit 27cm (10½inch) pole, for close-up work (reduces overall length to just 1.75m / 5ft 9ins)

Upgrade Your 2-in-1 to a 4-in-1 Add a Grass Trimmer AND a Brush Cutter for just £29.95 (£49.95) Once you have trimmed your hedges and lopped off unruly branches, why not quickly and simply turn the Add-It-2 into a grass trimmer or brush cutter for fast easy removal of long grass, weeds, bramble, thorn bushes or any other woody stems up to 18mm (3/4") in diameter!

Plus! With every order of the Eckman Add-It-2 we are now including a set of garden safety goggles, ear defenders & gloves, absolutely free.

A: Yes, you can download a PDF copy of the instructions for this product by clicking here

Q: Is there a customer service phone number I can call for assistance?
A: The Eckman Customer Service number is 0871 590 5911

Q: How easy is it to change pole or cutting attachment?
A: Very easy, it takes just a few seconds after very little practice. Simply untighten each locking mechanism and pull apart the poles / attachment. Obviously there needs to be a ‘tight-fit’ for the product to perform well so you may take a few goes to get the hang of releasing both parts quickly. The only time you need to use a tool is when attaching the short reach hedge trimmer pole – and that’s just a standard size alan key, which is supplied

Q: Can both attachments be used in all 3 sizes?
A: No, the chainsaw attachment will not function with the Short Reach 27cm Pole

I do gardening for a living, so this product has had a good work out for the last few weeks. I can't fault the motor unit, robust and easy to start, with plenty of power. The strimmer and brush cutter are as good as any I have used. The poll chainsaw is a little diamond, you need to keep adjusting the chain quite a bit, but what a labour saver. The hedge cutting blade is the only thing that lets the side down. It doesn't exactly cut through a hedge, like a knife through butter. But add the extension poll, and it does give incredible reach. As a whole this product is incredible value for money, let down a little bit by the hedge cutter blade, but the poll chainsaw is magic, and the strimmer & brush cutter are the equal to much more expensive makes. I would highly recommend.

Does what it says on the tin but the weight takes some getting used to. I expect there's a knack to using it comfortably and I'm working on it. Gets through the fuel, though! Grateful for the free ear defenders which work very well.

Unit is fine for occasional use, which is all I need, but trimmer and saw have quite a bit of play when extension tube is used, making control a bit difficult. A bit heavy to use but that is to be expected wiyh attachments added. Small fuel tank not sufficient for for what is thirsty engine; frequent re-fuelling stops needed. But for the price, good value for light use.

It is a really great product. I have been meaning to buy one of these for a while. I had been shopping around and then came across T2 Direct and saw it was on offer so I thought I would buy it. It coped well with high hedges. I haven't used the chain saw yet but hopefully it will be good.

Waited a few weeks before posting this so I could give an honest review. The biggest problem to start with was attaching the extension poles. It took a while before I discovered the knack and I haven't looked back. An excellent tool if a tad heavy when cutting high branches but does what it says on the tin. The hedge trimmer cuts through most small branches but the chain saw, although quite short, cuts through the remainder like knife through butter. I have only tested the strimmer as it is designed for a rough terrain which I don't have (yet) but it is certainly industrial strength. A good buy - thoroughly recommended.

Delivery was good,and as others have said,it is a bit on the heavy side,but then so are the more expensive ones.I've hardly tested it properly yet,but I found it difficult to get proper leverage on the pole saw,and make it bite.My main purpose for the purchase is for the extended hedge trimmer,and I guess that should be ok. There were a couple of screws missing from the engine casing,but I had replacements here at home.The unit came well equipped with protective items such as ear defenders,gloves,goggles etc,so overall,good value for money.
