Purchased a Eckman elite 2 in 1 telescopic chain saw and hedge trimmer last year and used twice. went to use yesterday and it is almost as though the chainsaw is too heavy for the pole as when I was holding out horizontal the plastic fitting that the chainsaw or hedge trimmer clips into just snapped, could have been dangerous as well had I not been aware. Called Eckman this morning and told no parts available and they did not own the company that sold me the item so are not responsable for any warranty. Very poor. Read the rest of the reviews and stay well away from this company.
