Very useful tool
Strimmer and brushcutter blade excellent, though the bump-feed takes a bit of getting used to. Hedgecutter attachment is a bit bendy and has a short blade length but works well enough. Chainsaw attachment very good for high branches but has a fixed position and cannot be adjusted like the hedgecutter. Engine starts well and is pretty powerful. Overall great value for money.

Too heavy !
After a lifetime in the business I can say ,It is a well built engine , plenty of power , but it is too heavy overall , the chainsaw is excellent as is the strimmer head but the hedgecutter attachment is very inadequate it is too short and low geared meaning you need far too many engine revs to operate it than is necessary , basically your trying to cut a hedge and your making a loud noise and not getting enough progress ! - wasting a lot of fuel for little work done , much better to buy a sthil hedgecutter. the extension tube is excellent . So the conclusion is that it is the last tool we would pick up out of our set as it is a lot heavier to use !Read full review...

Excellent piece of equipment, recommend.
Very happy with this product. First off, it was delivered in very good time, came the next day, well packaged and well boxed. Instructions are good and peripheral tools all good.
Went together as per instructions, fuelled up, started and ran and then ran foir a further hour strimming. Not yet tried hedge or chainsaw, but impressed with quality and detail. decent chain guards, auto oiler on saw, etc.
The unit is relatively heavy, it is a decent sized engine so to be expected, but not an issue, the harness works well, needs adjusting and then leave alone.
I am just using this on a very large garden, so not a contractor , I would recommend as a multi tool, or if strimming is the major requirement make sure you get the 'cow horn' type handles. I found for what I need the handle on the multi tool is OK, and is much more practical for hege and chain saw on a stick use.
Recommend, good kit, good supplier.Read full review...

Superb kit
Purchased this machine due to my stihl one needing a new part which was taking an age to arrive. The Parker machine was ordered and arrived less than 24 hours later in a neat box. Assembly of machine was simple and minimal. The machine itself is very sturdy and made from quality materials. It comes with a harness, gloves, safety specs, fuel mix bottle, plus cord and metal cutters. The hedge cutter and chainsaw attachments come with separate poles which can be easily swapped when required. The engine is easy to start and has a large fuel tank so you are not constantly refilling. The strimmer slices through the grass and weeds with ease. Have not tried other attachments as yet but have no doubt that they will perform just as well.
The only down side for me is that it is a little heavier than my other machine and slightly longer too. I also struggled to adjust the harness to a comfortable fit. Unfortunately as with most of this type of machinery they are not really designed to be operated by women! Read full review...

20 mins limelight
Well it is definitive value for your money. i mean you get 5 tools in 1 ,to buy these individually would most likely cost you a few hundred quid more.
Unfortunately mine died after 20mins of use. i turned it off so i could mess about with the harness and handle to make it more comfortable ( i suggest adjusting this correctly or it will destroy your back),once i had done that i started her up again and brush wouldn't spin at all,i seem to of had an issue with the drive shaft coming from the motor as i tried a different attachment(hedge trimmer) and still no joy. The engine it self was firing up perfectly but just nothing was happening.
There is some weight to this and the supplied harness is a must use so that you don't injure your back.
Instructions are easy to follow,Parker even have a few you tube videos with some demos on the product. It was a breeze to install.
Had to give it three stars though as i have a dead product i will try again once i get my return sorted as i may have just been that one unlucky person who had a fault product.

Nicely balanced - but wouldnt start, hopefully just a rogue machine.
I was looking forward to using this machine as I have had various models/ makes in the past, unfortunately with this machine, the on off switch, which is usually a rocker type, one way for ON and the opposite for OFF with a neutral position in the centre.
This machine had an on off switch which was permanently on the ON position,
I checked the spark plug - there was NO spark.
I was not able to start the engine at all.Very frustrating and sad.Read full review...

It’s brand quality without the name badge
I was very impressed with the speed it arrived, and on opening the box, thought it’s better than I was expecting. I couldn’t help but read the instructions and assemble it. Too exited to just leave it and look at it. I had to have a play, and hear it run ? Top quality petrol and my favourite 2stroke mixed, primed, 2 pulls and I was in sound and smell heaven 😂👍😎. I had a quick test run and was only slightly dissapointed when I had to put it away and go to bed and plan my assault on where I am going to use it 😂 love it 😍. Having used it subsequently on shalet plots I look after, great job done with ease, sound, smell and great job done ✔️ wicked love it. 👍😎Read full review...

52cc Multifunction review and Tips
For the money this bit of kit competes with the BIG BOYS the functionality is superb pending you use the device properly. 1. Make sure you use the harness, make sure it fits your body to prevent strain as the device is heavy. 2. The trigger mechanism has an automatic cut function make sure you use that for fuel efficiency. 3. For instructions how to setup or use, watch parker brands video’s on YouTube, also get a grease gun and always make sure the rods inside are lubricated for longer life. Read full review...

Fantastic build quality. Very heavy.
I'm fast becoming a fan of Parker tools.
I started a garden maintenance business at the beginning of lock down and needed a full inventory of petrol tools straight away but couldn't justify the expense of buying Stihl (which are undoubtedly the best).
This multi tool is very well built and can take a beating. I've had it for a week and used it all day every day with the chain saw and hedge cutter and its been fantastic. Be advised though that it is heavy. I'm 6"2 and fairly fit but after a day of using it you ache everywhere.
As with all Chinese garden tools, maintenance is key. Buy yourself a cheap grease gun for the geared parts and change spark plugs and filters regularly and they'll go for years.
Very happy and would thoroughly recommend. Read full review...
