Having several large community residential gardens to maintain for the elderly I needed a quality value for money sturdy heavy duty garden multi-tool. Having researched and compared various makes of garden multi-tools based on the jobs needs I have to carry out I decided on buying the BU-KO 52cc Long Reach Petrol Garden Multi Tool. My order was tracked and I was kept informed of its transit and arrived speedily on-time, well packaged and undamaged. All the parts and attachments were as described and in the box, I also ordered the three extra long reach extension poles which delivered on time with the BU-KO multi tool. This is some serious heavy duty piece of gardening kit and everything needed to maintain the gardens and more. From the included gardening gloves, ear protectors, to chain-saw and eye protector glasses, extension pole, brush cutter and 12 month warranty this kit has it all. The instruction book was clearly written and easy to follow so set up and use of attachments is straight forward. Having added the correct petrol/oil mix the engine fired into life after 3/4 pulls. The 52cc engine is double that of most other engine brand units and easily copes with the toughest garden tasks with minimum effort. I used the hedge trimmer and with its option to angle the cutter blades and added extension poles I was able to trim the tops of the huge hedges without the need to keep going up and down ladders. Due to the position of the petrol pipes in the fuel container it is possible to use the unit turned on its side for cutting hedge fronts. Next I used the strimmer attachment and again due to the sturdy manufacture and the powerful 52cc motor the strimmer cut through the long grasses with ease and in no time at all. In conclusion this is a very well made heavy duty piece of kit and makes the biggest gardening tasks easier. Although a heavy weight to hold for long periods of work and will need to clip to the safety harness to take the weight this is a real value for money product.. Recommended 😊 18.09.2019

I’ve brought this to tackle a severely and heavily anbandoned overgrown garden with thick brambles, ivy and bushes. After reading reviews of this machine & others like it, decided to go for this unit. Great powerful machine easy to start so far but used it for 3 days so far, instructions could be better but using some intelligence you can work it out. You can knock engine choke on due to its location and the on off switch is a little naff and can accidentally be switched off. machine is heavy but harness helps a lot . Harness buckle snapped on first use, contacted the seller and prompt easy resolution with replacement harness within a couple of days with great communication. The bag isn’t large enough to house the hedge trimmer assembled which is disappointing, you have to take the head off the pole to bag it. I purchased the bag kit to hold everything. 40t saw blade cuts through 30mm diameter branches which is great taking time and care. Poles are easy to interchange and fuel usage is moderate. Regardless of some of the points it’s been Overall a good experience all around. So long as the machine continues to operate like this then it’s been a great purchase for me.

This is a robust multi-tool on which all the attachments work well. Also, the customer service when you contact Bu-Ko directly is outstanding; there was a plastic part of the pole saw which broke during use, and Bu -Ko sent a whole new replacement pole saw section within a couple of weeks of me sending them information and pics.The strimmer cord is easier to extend and or replace on the strimmer head - much better that the Mitox tool I had before. The brush cutter blade also works well.The hedge cutter works brilliantly with or without the extension units. I have about 50m of 8ft high laurel hedge to maintain, so it gets a serious workout.The pruning saw is excellent, though you do have to frequently check the chain tension to ensure it stays on - standard for most pole saws.It’s a heavy bit of kit, but extremely hard wearing. I’ve had it since May ‘24 and I’m still chuffed with it.

UPDATE: Eventually we managed to insert another pole using spray grease and a lot of force. We were then able to try out the cutting blade which was quite effective, however, when it came to fitting the strimmer, well that was another story. The nut inside the unit fell off and rattled around and so we had to take it apart to try and fit the nut, no luck. In the end with the tool in so many bits, we decided the best thing to do was to bin it. It's best to buy tools individually, rather than these awful multitools, just too much hassle.ProsGood engine with plenty of power, and easy to start. Lots of attachments which cover just about every need when sorting out the garden. Cuts through branches easily enough. No other pros because I could only use the chainsaw, nothing else fits, see cons.ConsWell, the chainsaw was the first, and only attachment I could use. First use and the chain kept jumping off. I read, and re-read the instructions but could not stop the chain coming off eventually it ripped through the cover and is no use. I decided to put another attachment on, no way. Obviously after slackening off the clamp and pulling out the stopper, I expected the pole to just slide out, but no, it was stuck fast. It took a mallet to remove the chainsaw attachment from the pole. Then I tried to connect another attachment, but it is just too stiff, I cannot get another pole in the clamp. All told, a useless bit of kit.I wouldn't recommend this product as it is not fit for purpose. It's a shame because it could be very good, but as the attachments don't connect, it is useless.

A great value for money robust piece of kit with powerful airflow which gets the job done to a professional standard.
