Product Information
Description
The Eckman “Add-It-2” 2-in-1 Petrol Chainsaw and Hedge Trimmer allows you to switch from trimming high hedges to lopping big branches quickly and easily, making tidying up your garden less of a chore.
The two interchangeable attachments; a 44cm, 180° angle-adjustable hedge trimmer and 27cm chainsaw branch lopper can be swapped within a matter of minutes and are powered by a 30cc engine.
Each attachment sits on a 66cm pole, providing 2.15m / 7ft of reach. If you are planning on trimming hedges or cutting branches that are really high up, you can add the 76cm extension pole that extends the total reach to a massive 2.85m/ 9ft 4ins, allowing you to tackle such jobs safely and with both feet still on the ground.
The hedge trimmer can also be used in a short reach position by using the unique quick-fit 19cm (7½inch) pole, for close-up work (reduces overall length to just 1.75m / 5ft 9ins).

Q: Can I download instructions for this product?
A: Yes, you can download a PDF copy of the instructions for this product by

Q: Is there a customer service phone number I can call for assistance?
A: The Eckman Customer Service number is 0871 590 5911
Q: How easy is it to change pole or cutting attachment?
A: Very easy, it takes just a few seconds after very little practice. Simply untighten each locking mechanism and pull apart the poles / attachment. Obviously there needs to be a ‘tight-fit’ for the product to perform well so you may take a few goes to get the hang of releasing both parts quickly. The only time you need to use a tool is when attaching the short reach hedge trimmer pole – and that’s just a standard size alan key, which is supplied
Q: Can both attachments be used in all 3 sizes?
A: No, the chainsaw attachment will not function with the Short Reach 27cm Pole

| PRODUCT: | |
| This item was as it was stated. The hedge trimmer could do with being 3 or 4 inches longer, but cut well,but at a slow pace.Chain saw is very good,just right for branches up to 3 inches. Well worth the money. |

| As others have said it is quite heavy and the size takes a bit of getting used to BUT it is so much easier than my old electric one which was much heavier when held at arms length for the far side of the hedge. |

| Geoffrey Tait, Tadcaster |
| PRODUCT: | |
Excellent tool tidy, but I added another screw to the centre to give better strength with all the Add-It-2 equipment hanging on it.
[T2 Response] Adding another screw to the centre is a very good idea, especially if you plan to hang all of the Add-It-2 equipment on it. |
| Kevin Daly, Maghera |

| Theresa McGlone, Chesham |
| PRODUCT: | |
| I had to wait some time for this to come back into stock but it was worth the wait.It takes a little bit of time to fit it together before initial use but after that it's so simple.I haven't played with the chainsaw yet but I'm looking forward to it.I have only had a quick go with the hedge trimmer which worked better than my old electric one but I think it will pay for itself within a year as I will be able to trim my high laurel hedge on my own now, instead of paying for a gardener. I need a little more practice though and to build my muscles up ! |
| Theresa McGlone, Chesham |
| PRODUCT: | |

| Michael Hill, Bishop Auckland |
| PRODUCT: | |
does what it says on the box and it works for me !
It's a little on the heavy side,so the wife won't be using it !(heavy = solid build) Also a bit fuel thirsty, but this is outweighed by sheer convenience over electric tools.
Especially appreciated the free gloves,glasses and ear defenders. |
| ROBERT GILL, Middlewich |
| PRODUCT: | |
Very good versatile product, does the job well.
With full extensions you need to be strong to use it for long periods of time |

| Alan Gomme, Haywards Heath |
| PRODUCT: | |
| only used it twice seems ok,because it his being run in, do not want to overload the engine,thought engine exhaust a little noisy but probably all two strokes are the same.Can cut hedges with out over stretching as with a normal hedge cutter. |

I do gardening for a living, so this product has had a good work out for the last few weeks.
I can't fault the motor unit, robust and easy to start, with plenty of power.
The strimmer and brush cutter are as good as any I have used.
The poll chainsaw is a little diamond, you need to keep adjusting the chain quite a bit, but what a labour saver. The hedge cutting blade is the only thing that lets the side down. It doesn't exactly cut through a hedge, like a knife through butter. But add the extension poll, and it does give incredible reach.
As a whole this product is incredible value for money, let down a little bit by the hedge cutter blade, but the poll chainsaw is magic, and the strimmer & brush cutter are the equal to much more expensive makes. I would highly recommend.

| Gail Madeley, Gloucester |

| Does what it says on the tin but the weight takes some getting used to. I expect there's a knack to using it comfortably and I'm working on it. Gets through the fuel, though! Grateful for the free ear defenders which work very well. |

| A good sturdy device, chainsaw attachment is excellent for overgrown hedges with tree branch size stems. The only negative is that it is a heavy tool so be prepared for some hard graft. |
| Philip Taylor, Nottingham |
| PRODUCT: | |
Delivery was good,and as others have said,it is a bit on the heavy side,but then so are the more expensive ones.I've hardly tested it properly yet,but I found it difficult to get proper leverage on the pole saw,and make it bite.My main purpose for the purchase is for the extended hedge trimmer,and I guess that should be ok.
There were a couple of screws missing from the engine casing,but I had replacements here at home.The unit came well equipped with protective items such as ear defenders,gloves,goggles etc,so overall,good value for money. |

| Unit is fine for occasional use, which is all I need, but trimmer and saw have quite a bit of play when extension tube is used, making control a bit difficult. A bit heavy to use but that is to be expected wiyh attachments added. Small fuel tank not sufficient for for what is thirsty engine; frequent re-fuelling stops needed. But for the price, good value for light use. |

| It is a really great product. I have been meaning to buy one of these for a while. I had been shopping around and then came across T2 Direct and saw it was on offer so I thought I would buy it. It coped well with high hedges. I haven't used the chain saw yet but hopefully it will be good. |
