    If you google florabest spare parts theres an English company called diy spare parts.. they seem to stock or be agents for florabest equipment there number is 00441747823039.
    Possibly worth a try.. there a bit flimsy those 4 in 1 units and compared to a stihl strimmer there absolutely lada quality..however the polesaw unit is very good..happy parts hunting

    Thanks dude. You're right - I got my hands on an oleo mac for the day and it is far superior

    Split shaft stuff is always problematic those little spring shafts are pretty weak especially on a larger displacement powerhead.
    If you are worried about attachments then a tip is that most of them will fit on to the end of a straight shaft unit and give extra reach for things like Polesaws or hedge trimmers.
    I'm not a big fan of split shafts myself for the above reasons.
    Oleo-mac is pretty decent stuff for the most part, I had an Oleomac chainsaw before and it was a very reliable unit.
    Easily as good as the big two brand and better in some ways.
