aber beim genauen hinsehen ist mir was aufgefallen.
Das Teil kommt einfach verpackt.
Es stinkt nicht.
Die Haptik und der erste Eindruck gut.
Dann genau angesehen und das ist mir aufhefallen.
Sehr stabile Haube.
Sehr dickes Seil.
Relativ kleiner Griff
Griff oben offen
Die Verbindung zum Motor ist aus recht d��nnem Plastik, das ��berrascht mich.
Ich denke das k?nnte zum Problem werden, bei st?rkeren rei?en oder anderen Problemen k?nnte das abscheren.
Ich werde das updaten wenn ich das Teil montiert und ausgiebig getestet habe.
Bis dahin gibt es 4 Sterne da ich kein gutes Gef��hl habe wegen der Verbindung zum Motor habe und nicht verstehe warum der Griff oben offen ist.
Perfect replacement, thanks
Just arrived assembled and tested,
As described
recoil could be stronger
Worked perfectly on my log splitter
