Can you tell me how to change the head please on the titan
@@niknakmak1905 it's simple enough.. just 4 bolts to remove the pot.
Very useful video, I have had the parkside version for over a year now, not yet used it. Love your interactions with Riley Boy, having a 39 year old daughter with similar problems, I know how much they like to be involved. Great videos and a lot of respect on your inclusion of Riley.
Thanks.. Riley is our world.. he just loves being involved
I have used one of these for 3 years commercially never had a problem. great machine.
Thanks mate for the comment
Such a helpful video, thank you so much - purchased this today and had no idea where to start, can’t thank you enough!
Your very welcome.. glad it helped
Great and comprehensive review . Excellent preparation for using the tool .Thanks Mick
Thanks very much
Hey Mick it’s good to look back on this one ☝️, I currently have 2 of these Titan multi setup sitting by my back fence , today my Stihl multi tool has arrived I’m about to break it in ( easy ) , I was just about to take it outside and a give it some beans but then this video came to my head haha cheers Mick 👍
I've had one for a couple of years now and use it a lot in my big garden.always starts easily and is very good value.I"d recommend.
Thanks mate
Great video, was looking at buying one to give the father in law a hand around his garden. Will let you know how it goes 👍.
Cool mate .. like anything if you look after it it will look after you ..
great vid Mick, being an elderly (fit) all your tips really help. thank you. Billy
You welcome mate
Very detailed video, thanks Mick. Just bought one yesterday and happened to come across this video and your channel. Already subscribed as some great videos, thanks again
Welcome aboard!
Got my one for the stubborn hairs on the back side top of my legs. Worked ok but had to modify the attachments with watercoolers. Stop the over heating. Never looked back! Frightened to check. Only kiddin. Another informative video mate. Summers a coming! Well done. 🤣👍🇬🇧
Great review mick and sound on the mic is working a treat ive got the ryobi rbc30ses multi tool have had for about 12 yeras now and it has had some hammer over the years it is still going strong all it has had is new pull cord and strimmer head twice 👍👍👍👍
Sounds like you have had a good one and we'll maintained..
Hi Mike just bought one today , it's still in box hopefully my oil line isn't broken , thanks for this vid
No worries Paul.. hope you like it
Really good review, thanks. I was just looking to buy one. You answered all the questions I had.
No problems mate.. have a good one
It is down to the user to make sure it is. Not overworked, I had a long term customer bring McGregor machine round ,electric hedgtrimmer just out of warranty, the blade was snapped, you will get good use ,because you know how it works, all the best Mick and Riley boy
Yeah mate it will be fine..
I started my business with a cheap multi tool, not brilliant but earned me enough money to upgrade to Pro level tool. So job done!
That's the way to do it .
Bought and used one today, very impressed with it
Cool I have had mine about a year now.. still going strong
Hi Mick I've got a Titan multiple garden tool. In the instructions it states that the Pruner attachment should spray oil on the chain. You can prove this by working pruner over cardboard. My pruner attachment doesn't do this any ideas on solution please.
I borrowed one of these from a friend of mine I was using the brush cutting attachment on my uncles very badly over grown garden and after a couple of little tweaks to get it running perfect it took the whole garden down in less than an hour and my uncles garden isn't small.
Great Video, very helpful. Thanks Mick and Riley, good works lads :)
Your very welcome
Nice Kit Mick. That harness is not set to 2021 standards. Good to see Rileyboy. Congrats on the 10K your on it!
Thanks mate.. not at 10k yet.. just promotion for my giveaway when I hit it.. hope you and the family are well
Ive just picked up one of these and I'm very impressed by it. Ive used Stihl, Husqvarna and Echo but for the money this is all I need. I would say that it's better than the Stihl HL 94 RC and I've used the Stihl's professionally for a couple of years now and I also fix Stihl and other garden equipment.
Thanks for the comment mate I appreciate it
Great video Mick. I got same tool last year and have never used the chainsaw but I just checked and my oil tube is broken too! Mines out of warranty so a fix video would be much appreciated! First time I used the tool it worked great, went back the following weekend and it wouldn’t start. There’s no screwfix near me so it was easier to try fix it myself. Dismantled carbs and the diaphragms had gone rigid. Put new £5 carb on it and it’s worked a treat ever since!
I have fixed mine already.. it's simple enough to do mate
Great Unboxing and review I have a few titan products bench saws and other stuff and have never let me down great review looks like doing a great job
Thanks mate. It's a good old tool
Looks like a good tool for the home owner. I have a 4 cycle and it is a bit heavy for me now that I am a bit older. I have to take to many breaks to get things done. Good alternative for sure. Love to see the video of you trimming Riley Boy's hair--Not. However after watching the opening of the box I see he liked the sound of hitting the box. I am thinking we should all chip in and buy him a complete drum set. Maybe one is on its way today. Thanks for sharing and stay safe.
Now now we all know the consequences of riley gets a drum lol I have enough problems lol
What a great video, made it so easy to put together. Just a quick question, in the instructions it says to remove the outer trimming guard when using as a brush cutter. Do you know why it would say to do this? And would you remove it? Cheers.
Very good video!! Exactly what I needed. Thanks you.
Your welcome
Great rewiew mick well explained for the ordinary guy
Thanks mate .. I appreciate it
I have the exact same Multi tool Mick which I bought to cut branches of my Mum and Dad's tree's as my Dad's at a age he's unable to stay on top of the Gardening.
The chainsaw was used the most and I found the extension attachments were handy as I am not too keen on heights. Overall I never had a problem with her starting and can say I'm very happy with my purchase as it worked out hundreds of pounds cheaper than bringing someone In to do the same Job. Great Video Mick you've done as your right these machines get a lot of unfair bad reviews
Gary Ross well I try to be as honest as I can. Shame my chain saw part was broken but I just fitted a new pipe on mine save taking it all the way back. Thanks for the comment and feedback. Hope all is good with you
Good review, appreciate the time and effort 👍
Your welcome
@@themowerman did you keep the strimmer? Is it holding up over time and use?
Fantastic video Mick. I bought this tool when i got my allotment in 2014 and it is still going strong a bit like Trigger's broom! Have replaced some nuts and bolts/ the fuel lines twice and the carb once as well as all the usual service items. I think if you have a bit of knowledge of 2 stroke engine care and diagnostics then you cannot go wrong. Great tool for the price and has paid for itself many times over. Looks like they have made losts of improvements since i bought my one too :) Enjoy all your videos, as i'm an engineer and just love tinkering with everything. Especially when "professional" people write off machines and i can get it working well again :) Keep up the good work!
Thanks mate.. I need to start my one up at some point..
I have 4 of the engine's and every six months the machine bogs down and no matter how you adjust the carb it's stays the same so I change the carbs and again they work fine. I once used the extension pole and the drive shaft snapped within 10 minutes. Other than that I love them and been using them for the last 5years in my gardening business. Great vid and review.
There is a good hack to repair the shaft on them
@@themowerman i bought a new drive shaft and have never used the extention pole since. lol
Got one yesterday, for price pretty good, when using hedge cutter attachment it cuts much better sweeping upwards or side to side rather than downwards. I agree not for commercial use not because it can't do the job because it can....it just isn't built to take a hammering like a mountfield, sthl or husq, but a decent piece of kit ideal for large gardens
Ta for the comment mate
Hi Mick great channel. I bought the Titan about the same time as you did and i'm loving it. Just wondering, do you think you can buy handlebars for the strimmer seperately? Bit worried about the vibration affect. Thanks.
The problem is you will need to link up the throttle too but it can be done.. don't think you can buy them new so any second hand one will do.. just check the shaft dimensions..
@@themowerman great. Thanks Mick, i knew you'd have the answer.
Great review, just what i needed. Not sure if anyone else has mentioned it, but the screwdrivers are on the end of the spanners.
Yeah but only a flat head screwdriver.. would of been nice to have a taux bit.. thanks for watching
Great review Mick. I’ve looked at similar ‘own brand’ multi-tool packages before from places like B&Q, but always wonder if they’ll last. 👍🏻
I've used the Titan Multi tool for 2 years as a strimmer, I tend to do hedge trimming more, so have a professional stihl for that.
It's a great unit as long as you dont push it and keep up on maintenance.
MCC's Garden & Tree Maintenance yes your right. Like must things if you look after something it will look after you. Thanks for watching
I didn't get a split pin in mine either. and the lack of a torx driver was a pain, as the flatty provided barely spanned the torx hole in the slots of the screws meaning it slipped all the time. Used a torx driver as you did. Does the job but the harness is a bit snug for us larger types. Adjustments on max size.
Lol I could hardly get the harness over my head lol must be made for salad munchers lol
Great review, thanks.
No worries
Nice video Mick. I have a few different titan tools and they have done the job since day one . Like u say they aren't the best or the worse. But as long as they do the job all is good.
Yes mate
Great video, really helped me with the set up so thank you very much.
I've found the hedge trimmer really useful but the bump feed doesn't seem to work, first one I've had but taken it back and had exchanges 3 times now and I still can't get it to work, watched your video on this part over and over and followed your set up. Any suggestions would be amazing as I really need this attachment but can't afford the better options yet. Thanks Mick
Going to be doing a video soon on it
Thanks for the reply, look forward to it as manual feed is doing my head in 🤦♂️
A bit tentative to use this equipment for first time. This video has made me very confident to fit attachments, mix fuel and use tool correctly.
Your welcome Andrew mate .. glad it helped
Great video Mick very helpful indeed and well behaved young man too ;-)
Thanks mate
first time to look at this may i say what a great vid i was am thinking of buying one like what u said it only for the odd jobs a round the garden and that for app how to mix oil and petrol have good one stay safe
Glad you found the video helpful..
I have just bought one of these and intend to use the Brush Cutter under water in a river removing aquatic growth, what sort of grease do you suggest I use, good tip about the Split Pin. Ps I am left handed so I will have fun with the Harness.
As long as it's not salt water I would just just wd40 after you have used it..
Great video, can you clarify where and how the trimmer should be greased-you mentioned grease nipple. The manual says grease every 25 hours of use or for before winter storage but does not say how to do it, thanks.
On the gearbox.
Loved your little boys appearances!!! Made me giggle
Lol he's great
Screwfix have the best returnees policy ever. I bought a Titan planer thickness-er. The bed though was twisted. took it back brand new exchange no questions asked. Also bought a load of self leveling compound. didnt use it all. No questions asked on returned unused full bags.
Well that's good to know.. thanks for watching and commenting
Great video Mick, just bought it yesterday and thanks to your tutorial I was up and running without any issue. I'm not great with things like this, how often should I service this if you don't mind me asking? Again great video and thanks again.
I have some videos on how to look after them during winter.. the key is keeping the fuel fresh..
Hi mate, just enjoyed your video, IV got my eye on a 52cc titan multi tool - in your opinion, would say that the 52cc model is more suited to commercial use?
I would say no.. but what I would say is if you take care of it it will last.. you I believe you have up to a two year warranty.. so if it plays up just take it back.. for the money it's worth it
Hi there mick - I like Screwfix. It looks like Screwfix via Titan have 'tarted up' the somewhat generic Chinese 5 in 1 which seems to have gone under that many different slight cosmetic changes and different brand names to still be virtually the same thing ('A rose by any other name..' etc) .
I assembled the latest 'PARKER' version today (2yr warranty!!) and it looks to be a solid piece of kit incl the accessories. The motor is 52cc and the price £137 incl delivery.
Nice to watch a vid of a bloke who's been there and knows what he is talking about and what he is looking for. (and who's obviously got a great little apprentice!)
Titan seemed to have persuaded the Chinese to upgrade a bit. Good for them and for their customers. Fancy getting a carry-bag- eh?
Particularly like your sound advice about 'running in'. I remember the days when every car and m/c had to go through that! The Chinese are not renowned for over-lubricating at point of manufacture and that first outing I feel is crucial to make up for their shortcomings and ensure longevity.
Any greasing and other lubricating advice? Would appreciate it.
I might also consider some pipe foam insulation on the handle as their answer to anti-vibration seems to stop short at a thick rubber gasket between handle and shaft.
My 52cc motor recommends 40-1 but I'm going to give it at least 30-1 for its first outing and let it run in until I know that some oil vapour had got to parts which even Heineken can't reach!! Good advice, bro'. Thanks.
Just a thought - I think that the Chinese decided that a Nylock nut was the answer to the 'straight nut and split pin' arrangement on the end of the shaft - for manufacturing cost and simplicity. Just needs watching.
Have saved your vid for future reference as it is 'the goods'. Thanks, bro'.
Best wishes to you and Riley and all of yours - Paul in the Midlands.
Ta for the fantastic comment... It's a good bit of kit and I have had no problems with mine at all.. ta for watching mate
Hi Mick I bought a hyundai multitool for the fishing club I am a member of a couple of years ago other than being a bit heavy it's a decent piece of kit and lasting well too
Cool mate.. like anything if you look after it it will last.. ta for watching
Also you might find after a good bit of use the clutch starts making a horrible whilstling noise, ignore it it will go away eventually and the clutch doesn’t seem loose ext
*Mate in the chainsaw head area the oil tank which oil ? Car engine or 2-stroke ?*
Chain oil mate..
Just picked up one, and I can't figure out how to get the grass strimmer head off to replace the guy/wire.. any ideas?
Video coming soon..
thanks, that was easy to follow
Thanks mate
Hi Mick, great review. I have one of these and I have a couple of issues.
1. Using it at the weekend and the unit was getting very hot and ended up smoking. I left it to cool but it then wouldn't start at all even with easy start sprayed into the carb.
2. The connection on the extension pole has a square spindle both ends, the female connection is missing, do you know if I can get a replacement?
Cheers
Hi mate. You will be hard pushed to get many spares for them.. eBay will be the best place.. the getting hot and smoking issue could just be fuel mix being slightly wrong.. what mix are you using
@@themowerman using 1:40 as required. It has since started again but I think its a carb issue which seems to be a common problem. I've found the spares needed on ebay thanks.
Hi Mick .
Do you know what the threaded piece is opposite the grease nipple on the chain saw.
Dennis.
Hi mate sorry I don't.. not without looking at it.. email me a photo mate.. micksmowers01@gmail.com
I have the same model , had for 2 years , great machine , but now when I start it, there a loud screech near the engine , which will last for 4-6 seconds , and then disappears once throttle is pressed only happens on cold start ,any ideas do I need to grease anything .i am thinking clutch but not sure any ideas mate, great channel
Could be the clutch mate
@@themowerman many thanks, you and Riley have a great weekend .
How did you get on with the chain saw Mick? Did you get it sorted out, what do you think of it?
Yeah I got it working.. don't like it much but I did get a chain made for it at my local shop.. now much better
@themowerman where did you find that mixing bottle please? Looked everywhere for one like that.
Thanm you in advance
Here you go.. www.toolstation.com/al-ko-2-stroke-mixer-bottle/p11123?store=O6&mkwid=_dm&pcrid=null&pkw=null&pmt=null&gad_source=1&gclid=CjwKCAjwx-CyBhAqEiwAeOcTdaKO03S2adgsMgDAD-v64Ga5JSLwRHzYazmjGXaB-okh1zC29jEGuBoCupIQAvD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds
@themowerman thank you for the share, got one of those and it works alright. Love the content of your videos, and thought I'd heard you say you didn't quite like them like the toolstation one as not overly accurate. The one in your video at 24:50 was what I've been looking for, but google throws up a load of drinks bottles.
Thank you for the link, and the incredible content.
I have a John Deere Run 41 with a briggs and Stratton I hope to find suitable content for and similarly if you have content on the right way to store petrol powered equipment through the winter.

Titan strimmer was the 1st strimmer i fixed picked it up on car boot both lines like biscuit 🤣 stills runs today allotment tools handles like maradonna
excellent unboxing mick. i have one of them had to adust carb on it because of emisions in factory where their made was running rough after adjustment runs sweet now. like you say their ok for home use
Yeah mate
Just got this for my allotment. I got onto screwfix about the split pin and they rang me back saying the newer models don't need the split pin thats why they don't come with one. Still going to get one anyway. Where did you get your mixing bottle from, carnt find one anywhere?
Off Amazon
@@themowerman had a look could only find small bottles 250mm. Ill look again
The only issue I have with your review is when fitting the strimmer head. When fitting I found that if you fit both the locking ring on the spline and the chamfered ring the strimmer head goes down so tight the auto bump feed will not work. After getting frustrated at having to keep removing the head to release more line, I left the chamfered ring off and the bump feature now works. Hope this helps someone else. I believe that chamfered ring is only required when using the brush cutter.
Great review mick I like that it’s a 4 in 1 that’s so cool hey there Riley boy 👦
Wow that was quick hi mate
Micks Mowers notifications squad bud I’ll still watching it
Do these use take the ryobi expanit attachments?
I have got some expand it bits for it just need to drill a hole in the outer shaft very simple
I notice the Hyundai strimmers offer a three year warranty. Do you think they're better or is there some other reason? Three years warranty for a cheap Strimmer sounds almost too good.
I would go for a titan. The return process is not too good apparently with Hyundai
THIS GUY IS AN EXERLENT TEACHER i really enjoyed watching that Tan Q Breda
Thanks mate
Hi I have this strimmer and its been working great but went to use it today after about 25 minutes of use I started it back up and when I revved with the strimmer attached it seems to bog out is there anything I can do to tweak this or does it need repair or fixing?
Sounds like a fuel / carburettor problem.. mix up some fresh fuel , not out of your can.. 40 to 1 mix I have a video on how to do this I will attach a link.. prime it about 15 times to run the new fuel around the carburettor and see if that helps
ruclips.net/video/5CsLqdijP1w/видео.html
Thanks for the reply will try that 👍
Hi, I have this model, I don’t know how to change the thread cord on the trimmer. Do you know how please?
Yeah mate it's simple enough.. I will try to do a video on it ..
What oil goes into the pruner part? Is it just two stroke oil?
Ist two stroke.. 40/1
I had to cut the head of mine as the screw wouldn’t un do. Not sure if I can buy a hold new head for the cord bit.
I've had the exact same problem. Just won't unscrew! Did you sort yours out in the end?
It's the just the thick plate that goes on before the strimmer spool, not both. Other than that, great video. I'd just bought this and you helped me set it up and understand it. Cheers!
Your welcome
I was wondering why my strimmer spool wouldnot bump feed until I took off the thin plate and just kept the thick plate on, thank you for this
i think im a large guy and harness ajusts fine to fit me? i got one and love it works great strimes through big weeds and grass with ease love it
Fantastic... The harness hardly goes round my neck lol
@@themowerman he he I can't get on with one really as I like swap hands all time.
@@leeaustinarts5990 yeah lol
Nice bit of kit mate shame about the oil pipe but u can fix it great video mate
Yeah all fixed mate
They are a great little multi tool, they are not made to be hammer it, I run one for 3 years, mostly as a strimmer and never had a problem with it, till clutch broke, but paid for itself 10x over
Nice video mick 👍
Yeah mate.. as long is they are not over worked and looked after they are a good little tool
Great video boss
Ta mate
Just got one and the tips were super .. tried the strimmer and the chord doesn't feed out , any tips for this ?
Take it apart sometimes they get stuck together
@@themowerman good man .. does yours feed out OK
@@trevormurphy116 yeah mate no problems
I have a 4 in 1 machine I was using the strimmer and and it cut out so I started it again and it cut out on me again and I don’t know what to do with it I can service it I don’t like filling it to the top I like to put half a tank in
Could be the fuel cap.. go for the cheapest fix first new cap check that the fuel lines are ok and the feed one has a filter on it
@@themowerman I have a small strimmer I had to replace the fuel lines on that cos it wasn't starting so I thought I would change the fuel lines and tryed to start it and it started straight up
@@josh19884 woo hoop fantastic
Great video thanks
Just one thing mate u didn’t show how to get the strimmer wire out when it cuts off could you possibly do this?
I will try and do it soon.. ta for watching
@@themowerman mick need a favour/advice mate.
I’ve bought a mountfield leaf blower today and fuelled it etc after I use it it smokes when the engine is off. What you reckon this could be? Thanks mate
@@matthewmonaghan1299 is it new or an old one
@@themowerman brand new mate
Man that pole saw it’s pretty long that’s great 😃
Lol well it's better then using the brush cutter I suppose lol
Micks Mowers haha right I bet bud
I used one professionally for the first year of my business, it don’t think it’s a bad tool and I’ve never had any problems with the engine. But I do find it very heavy (that doesn’t matter for occasional use) and I loved it until u bought some stihl gear obviously they r better but on the whole they r not bad tools
Can chainsaw head attachment be rotated around the pole to suit cutting angle.
@@kevinsmith3638 yes, there should be 2 Alan head bolts near the top of the saw where it joins the pole. Lossem thEm off and you should be able to turn saw
Thanks Joe 👍
Enjoy the video I actually did buy this myself but I’m trying to figure out how to reset the strimmer wire it would’ve be great if you could do a video on that
I can do a video no problems.. will be out in a couple of weeks..
Yeah this would help 👍
Hi Mick.👍 I have just bought my dad one of these multi tools for B'Day present. He's been spending the day putting in together watching your video. We are assuming it has bump feed on the strimmer as it mentions bumper in diagram B.13 on pg 18 of manual, but dad can't get the bumper to work. He's had it apart and put back together 3 times and as soon as he takes the spool out, the line springs out and he has to wind it back up again. Not sure if that's normal...perhaps you may have you heard of the bumpers having any issues? I gather you have to just tap the head of the line spool on the ground? Does this have to be in any sort of way? Power off or power on? He tells me the unit keeps cutting the lines off really short as well, which prompted him taking the spool out and reinstall it. In the past I whave bought 3 strimmers for him and none of the bump feeds have worked. Perhaps he's doing something wrong. I hoped someone with your experience could offer some instruction. He has followed all the instructions in the manual to a T. I understand that you've published this video 2 years ago but hoping you still may be picking up messages in the comments. Many thanks and best wishes to you. From Paula in Co. Down.
Yo yo hi ok so I have still got mine and it's a bump one .. you need to have the Revvs up for it to work and a good solid bum should get it to feed out if you have installed the cable right.. to be fair I use a much thicker line as the one they provide is very thin.. if your having problems I could do a video on it if you like ..
@@themowerman Hi Ho Mick. 👍😁👋
Gosh is you have the time to do a video dad would surely appreciate it and so would I. He's 77 and I think seeing someone doing it would be easy for him to copy what you do. Could you also tell us more about the thicker line and where to get it? I will buy it for him and he can install it to match what you suggest/do. Is it possible for you to show installing the line in the spool and all that is needed to operate it as well? Sorry to ask for more info!!
Man, I really do appreciate this. I cant thank you enough but say THANK YOU so very much for any help you can give him.
All the best and good wishes to you and the Family from Paula in Co. Down 😁
@@fairytale_after_dark6696 morning... No worries I will dig mine out and sort something
Had one for three years great machine.Do not fit any attachments until you switch machine off
Yes mate
What are the metel bits called please you put on before you screw the head on. Please
Great video , can’t thank you enough
No worries mate .. glad you liked it
I’m just looking for a long reach hedge trimmer but only have a budget of 300 to get my business going and suggestions, please
A titan would get it started... But it's no professional... Start small and work your way up
Nice review big man , and that was a nice finish you were getting on the hedge. As you say not for professional use but hay ho it’s going to fit the bill just nicely , and its a lot of whack for the price 👍 Tam.
Yo tam how you rocking. Ta for watching mate , it's not a bad old tool for around the garden
Micks Mowers Hello big man , and hope you don’t mind me saying you are an incredible talent. You sit in front of your camera and give us some of the best video engine related content anywhere on RUclips. Then you absolutely excell at your live stream, and one promise from me Sir no more comments on your live stream , and I will keep my comments on your videos respectful. Due to you I do my oil change and filter and keep all the grunge and crap off of my two mowers. All the best to you and the rest of your family Sir 👍 Tam.
@@b.2221 you will make me cry with comments like that thanks mate
Any idea how to open the spool housing?
Twist the small part clockwise
Depending on how they are set up from the factory , the mixture screw will need adjusting . Mine ran too rich from the box . Special tool required , or make your own . Build quality iffy , but is cheap .
Cheers fella!👊
Your welcome

Would I be better getting a petrol version or battery?
How does two stroke mix remain usable after mixing, is Aspen fuel worth the expense?
Occasional garden user.
In my opinion.. it depends on the size and the use.. a medium to large garden with trees and hedges I would say petrol.. aspen is fantastic and yeah expensive but worth it
@@themowerman thanks,thinking of buying the Titan multi tool strimmer, Titan seems reasonable quality and valuefor the money,two stroke mix not used I'm told one of the main reasons for two engine failure,been told never leave it in them and dispose of it if not used for a while.
Many thanks, enjoy your channel 👍👌

Is this worth buying as I'm seen mixed reviews on it ?
I would say yes.. had mine for 3 years with no problems.. as long as you look after it and don't work them too hard..
I got a friend who's had a lawn care company for 15 years and he says the thing about it is you're using one engine for everything so you're just going to wear the engine out faster if you're doing it for a commercial application
Yes.. and it's not a commercial peace of equipment so it will not last long.. but for a home user it's great
