Equipment I purchased just doesn't work
I bought a backpack version of a whipper snipper to clear about half an acre of tall grass from time to time. Price was good, the unit looked good. Trouble started with delivery. If you are not there on delivery day, they will not re-deliver. I had to drive 50km to get it. I did battle to get the unit running, a little more stupidity and poor markings on the units choke. then after about 30 mins of running the unit seized. Returned to BBT and they replaced the motor after a few weeks and several calls. Got the new motor and didn't need it fo...Read more
r several months. When I did the same story...Worked for 30 mins then seized again. I was told it's my fault as I used the wrong oil and bad luck because you are 4 days out of your year's warranty. Crap I only got to use it 3 times. BTW I did use the right two-stroke oil and as the correct 25-1 rations. All my other 2-stoke equipment works fine, but not this equipment. Can't say if it's all rubbish as only been brave enough to try this one piece of kit. Won't be back.Purchased in September 2021 for A$300.00.

Hello Shifty,
We checked both your engines you returned and we failed to find any oil in the fuel, we replaced the first one out of goodwill, but its very important to run oil in your fuel at a ratio of 25:1
Cheers

Yes, this is what I was told at the time too and I respectfully disagree. The challenge I have with your reply is I have many other 2-stroke tools. I understand the mixing of fuel/oil and did follow t... Read more
he 25-1 instructions. I use high-quality fuels and oil. I haven't ceased any of my other tools, so maybe...just maybe this is an engine issue rather than a stupid customer issue...BBT did offer me a replacement engine at cost, which I didn't take up because I had zero confidence the unit would perform. Think the gradual slip of review scores tells a story.

Hello Shifty,
We actually tested the fuel, it had no oil in it! It can be easily done, especially with the rise of so many 4 strokes these days.

CRAP and liers

Not happy
Ordered new lawnmower SKU:BBT-SP70, delivery was fast, box was all damaged and has been open and taped up again, when I open the box's the lawn mower looked like it was thrown in and oil leaked all over the engine it was poorly packed missing blades bolts and other stuff scratches and dents on it. Girls that work at bbta on the phone are great but management is anything. I received a lawnmower which was returned by another customer, first I was told I have the parts send out but I demanded what I order a new in open undamage lawn mower, clearly...Read more
the fault was on dispatch as lawn mower was sent after a public holiday mustang been a big weekend for the warehouse staff but what pies me off they won't send the new one until there courier picks the one they sent me and that will total 2 week wait, pretty poor customer service by the management when it's there fault, let's see on the next one they sent out.Similar opinion?

/Trimmer Caught Fire and Gas Leaks\
Once I didn't have a mower or trimmer for years my grass was almost the size of my fence i decided to get one i chose Bigger Boyz Toyz for a trimmer i had a two story house so there was alot of grass i turned it on and started cutting the grass it kept stopping because grass got stuck in the head i always had to take the head off to get the grass out i put it on full choke but the same thing happened to the head, I tried again then I heard cracking sounds from the engine, head and carborator it will get louder each time I finished my back yard ...Read more
i went to the front yard i finished half of it then I saw gas leaking and spilling. I put so much force to close the gas tank it was still spilling and leaking i don't know why I was still cutting the grass even when the gas was leaking and spilling. I put it on full choke after 4 minutes i heard an explosion from the head the head and engine started smoking it was a fire. I put the trimmer down the trimmer exploded in fire because the gas was leaking and spilling i got the hose and took the fire out, you really need to make better trimmers so i just got a McCulloch 25cc straight shaft so just make better trimmers.1 comment

Disappointing
I purchased this in 2012 and gave up on it as the Petrol leaked from somewhere whenever the unit was shifted above horizontal. I recently got it out and gave it another go. I changed the rubber grommet on the petrol tank and the leak wasn't as bad. I tried using the extension pole saw and it worked for minutes then all the screws rattled loose and the chain started slipping so and I had to remove the chain and re tighten the screws every 5 minutes. Really shoddy.

Hello,
Jeez Geoff, after 5 years sitting in the shed, a good service would be in order I would say, new fuel, new spark plug, check all bolts are tight etc.

Got the 4 stroke brush cutter, Very simple to put together but had a leak from the fuel tank and a new tank was sent as soon as I contacted them and it was an easy change. Easy to start and use, does a good job. I paid $259.00 with free delivery down from $750.00 I think. Good unit

Unhappy Customer
Purchased a 6kW Diesel Generator which broke down 6 months old, took back, they had for 2 months, then I took it home and it ran for 20 minutes. I took it back and was told I needed to buy a new one as it was not under warranty. Because live on a farm with my 2 chickens and 1 pig they class me as Commercial Use. I work all day and only run the generator at night for lights and cooking. As a plumber if i fixed your toilet you would have me back 12 months later fixing for free (under warranty).

You'll regret getting this
Cheap, cheap and nasty. That's all you'll get here. I bought this and the chainsaw and both are absolute rubbish. Chainsaw just cost me $125 to repair due to a collapsed fuel line, failed spark plug, replaced air filter due to the fact it let saw dust through the carby because its useless. Did all that within an hour of using it. Seriously better value else where.

Mulches caught fire
The ignition mount and fuel line vibrated off causing a small fire that melted the plastic on the carnie and ignition lead. Need to check bolts are tight every time guys. I've also had bearings collapse in multi tool extension. The fuel tank also leaks fuel and was told to keep fuel tank above the motor; fine when slashing but not when cutting tree branches. ☹️

failed in 30mins
I purchased this for hedge trimming, after 30 mins it failed. Appears to be a problem with the shaft, not happy.
Understand it's not 'German' engineered as others have said, but you expect it to work. The hedge trimmer showed promise too doing a good job for 30 mins. Based on the wasted time and fact the product has to be returned after 30 mins of use. I could not recommend it.

good but.....
well constructed product, and worth the savings buying online. Just be mindful of the cheap spark plug that comes with this product. I used if for less than 5 hours and the spark plug needed replacing. Luckily Repco had a better brand spark plug and I was good to go again once plug was replaced. Also the line provided is very heavy duty (4mm) which did not last any longer than one would expect. I replaced it with stock I already had (2.4mm) line and that worked just as good and even lasting longer!!

Could not agree more
You want German engineering and or Japanese build quality then you need to pay accordingly.
As much as I bag Chinese equipmnt (as a service person) it usualy represents good value, and if it does fail out of the box, as happened recently to a client, the dealer gave his money back. A good return/guarantee policy is as important as the price.

You get what you pay for - sort of.
Having used BBT products over 4 or 5 years I'm comfortable recommending them.
With the following caveat.
One does not get German engineering and Japanese build quality on a Chinese budget.
All of the tools I have purchased have been less than 1/4 the price of German/Japanese equivalents yet performed well.
Service from BBT has been acceptable given their online status. And exceptional on the 2 occasions I visited their physical location.
If you're disinclined or unable to service/maintain this type of equipment or need something that reduces fatigue, then go to a specialist store and buy a name brand. This will cost more.
But you knew that right?

Questions & Answers
GEORGEasked
I have just purchased a bbt-att-bc btt brush cutter attachment, I fed the short pieces of line supplied, after a short use it spits out the lines, is there a special method to keeping the lines in? I didn't receive any instruction sheet with my purchase.

BBT S.Bigger Boyz Toys
Hello George,
Here is a link on how to load these lines. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g_BcAJMkbGk&t=5s
Thanks, The picture when ordering, shows the lines hanging out the same distance from the head on both ends being equal, that is why it spat them out. I will load it, as per the video.

Davidasked
About 5 years ago bought online the 5 in 1 pole saw and attachments. I just had to try all the attachments and in this time it has worked well. The majority of the time my son who is a motor mechanic is the person who has used it, mainly for trimming edges and the like He now has moved from Brisbane to Perth, so maintenance is now left to me. The problem is I cannot locate the 'spark plug'. In my Manual Multi-Tool BBt-4IN 1-10 on page GB-23 9.Maintenance it only mentions a fouled spark plug needs to be cleaned and the plug 'gap'. There is no access cover to directly access the plug through any of the external covers and nothing more in the manual. Can you point me in the right direction, for e.g. do I have to remove various parts like fuel tank, aircleaner cover etc. You are my only hope before my wife gets hold of it and if she fixes the problem, it's be the last thing I'll hear from her. Thanks.. David Brisbane Qld

It's there on the front of the motor. It has a rubber cover over it that you remove to find the plug underneath. Should not be a problem
You cant see the spark plug because the end of the spark plug lead covers it.You just need to pull the rubber cap off from the spark plug and then you can unscrew the spark plug.

Hello Lorrie,
e choke off and you will need to continuously pull the pull start until it clears, it may take up to 20 pulls and the chainsaw will blow some smoke until the excess fuel is cleared. Cheers BBTAWhen we got your chainsaw back it was flooded, this is caused by to much fuel in the carby, normally caused by trying to start it to long with the choke on.
