Although I don't usually sell my tools sometimes I do, however this is a keeper at the price I paid, just one of those extremely important items that I'm sure will be called upon in the future.

glad the post helped

Thanks for your input, much appreciated. Sorry no longer have plastic bags

They're great machines, & yes have to agree they have a great feel to them to use

Sorry, friend, unable to help you

It's a great budget grinder, hope you like it as much as I do

Many thanks. Your thumbs up is much appreciated.

Not sure why more companies don't take advantage of a free platform like KZfaq for all sorts of product info? Personally would find it helpful

This particular piece, like most of my other Husqvarna equipment, are made in China.

Thanks for the input and advice, will take it onboard. Cheers Antonio

Thanks for taking the time to comment , it's much appreciated , Jay.

My guess is that the bar would be more than up to the task you describe. Plus, the method you mentioned of chipping away at whatever you're trying to break out / up works best, with switching between chisel and point as needed. But you do need a certain level of fitness and strength to wield the bar - pounding away soon takes its toll on the user; I really start to feel it in the shoulders if I get carried away - so slow and steady wins the race. And I can confirm that, yes, you can really put some muscle behind the bar when using it to pry / lever out an object, I've used it with all my weight as a pry-bar, and I'm the wrong side of seventeen stone.

@@wightworld1809 That's a great reply appreciate you taking the time to do so. Will give it a go, they look a good multi purpose tool, make sure to wear good protective footwear. All best and thanks.

Glad i'm not the only one then. Suppose I could use the excuse that recording it distracted me. Cheers, Doug

Thank you, Mike.

I paid 252

Yeah, love my Bahco loppers too. Really hoping to get and review an anvil lopper, was thinking those made by Felco would be neat

@@wightworld1809 i ran a tree surgery company for many years, Bahco or Sandvic are the only loppers I bought. We mainly used the anvil type

@@rabbitskinner Honestly had never heard of Sandvic before your input, so many thanks, I'm interested to check them out

@@wightworld1809 Bahco bought out Sandvic, but kept on making great tools

@@rabbitskinner Now I feel silly, should've realised!

Pretty sure it was from a company called london power tools. All of my other husqvarna garden machinery came from fr jones & son

Wight World thanks! Just checked and it’s £209.99 for just the hedge trimmer alone (without the headband and glasses). Did you buy it during a promotion/discount?

@@drishtirai954 Yes, most of the dealers were offering at that time as I can remember. Just checked FRJones and son for you and they are doing the same offer Husqvarna 122HD60, plus safety glasses and ear defenders for 198. Can personally vouch for FRJones & Son, as bought all my other equipment from them.

Wight World thanks so much for your help and the video!

Really well. As mentioned above, only using it as intended right now - in a domestic capacity - but would still totally recommend. it's all too easy to knock off the plastic bit that covers the start bar handle, but just as easy to clip back on. Don't know if I mentioned in the post, but have an LC551VBP sitting in it's box in the shed and will be unboxing and reviewing that at some point in the future?

Sorry for taking so long to reply, which model did you go for in the end? As you say, main difference engine and variable speed, plus a slightly bigger collector box on the LC347V, too. Both straddle small to medium gardens, same composite deck, same cutting width and height and both designed for more demanding use. Yes, still very positive about it having owned it a while now, although it's still 'only' being used in a domestic capacity - what it's intended for - so can't say how it'll hold up to commercial abuse?

@@wightworld1809 thanks for the extra feedback. My father had a predecessor ( possibly 35 years ago now)of this mower the old royal 48s it was a great lawnmower and he used it for about 10 years and I found one second hand for £80 and in good condition about 14 years ago and I got a further 8 years out of it. Hopefully these newer range of B&S engines will last as long, time will tell.

@@612morrison Amazing! Although can imagine their longevity was helped by you and your father knowing how to care and maintain them? Not sure if Briggs & Stratton aren't encouraging neglect with their Just check & add engines? As you say, only time will tell

@@wightworld1809 update, I just picked up a new lc347v from my local dealer plus a second blade. 👍

@@612morrison Neat! would love to know your initial thoughts - whether they're good or bad?

Hey, Lelia. I love it. I spent a lot of time researching which unit to go for & it pretty much came down to a two horse race between this Husqvarna unit & the Makita 4 stroke MM4 in the end. But in the end the Husqvarna won through & I'm glad it did too. How are you finding it?

These machines are excellent, I went for 535LK for the extra power! ❤️ It

@@tgsgardenmaintenance4627 Very jealous! Spent loads of time lusting after that one, sadly couldn't make my budget stretch far enough. Having said that the 525LK is brilliant , certainly not disappointed with it. Cheers for the input, Trevor.

@@wightworld1809 funny because I'm actually looking at the same two units as well... I like Makita mm4 engines. I think the power head has much higher vibrations than the husqvarna. Husqvarna do seem to do a very good job on keeping their machines fairly quiet and low vibration I find. How are you finding it?
