Stumbled across this whilst looking for a replacement for an old Homelite ST155.
Doubtless it will be no Stihl, but looks good value to me with a 2 year warranty. Comes with both brush cutter and nylon line trimmer heads. Mines being delivered tomorrow so will see how we get on.

Looks like a good deal.... Better than what lidl just had in. Please report back!... Also is it worth going for the bundle with the mask and oil?

I've not priced up two stroke oil as I've got some which was donated to me and will last a good while yet so didn't look at the bundled offer. However, you will definitely need some as you shouldn't be using straight unleaded in it. I think usually a 30:1 or 40:1 ratio oil to petrol but will find out when it turns up tomorrow.
We're fortunate to have a couple of good local independent hardware stores so picking up good priced oil and protective gear is not a problem but I appreciate its not like that everywhere.

Looks the same as mine, I've had it a couple of years to clear a small field. Works great when you get the blade centred up right. I grease the head gears and shaft regularly , the shaft does get hot but no complaints,.mine needed basic assembly and loading the line into the strim head first time was a bit fiddly. No problems starting, very pleased overall.
