    Christmas present for my brother he’s well pleased with it

  2. Garry Paddock (verified owner)

    Excellent value would have been perfect with a small booklet to tell you how to put it together with out looking through the book that comes with it.

  3. neil mears

    Tremendous service

  4. Mathieu Holladay

    What a fantastic saw! I received superb advice from the staff in store and bought this 3 months ago, staff helped me choose the perfect tool for felling a number of fairly large & old fruit trees. It’s easily coped with cutting through fair sized conifers too. The saw is quick to start, even from cold. I chose the 16″ bar but you can choose a 14″ bar as well.

  5. Richard Squires (verified owner)

    I have never bought a new petrol chainsaw, always made do with buying 2nd hand ones.
    Decided to treat myself and decided on the MS181 with the 16 inch guide bar
    Radmore and Tucker had it in stock and despite the pandemic restrictions being in place, it was delivered within a couple of days.
    It came assembled with some fuel and chain oil already in, already to go.
    After a couple of pulls, away it went, tried it on a couple of logs, no problem
    Not used it much yet but will be over the next few months collecting firewood, pruning etc.
    Would recommend both the company and the saw

    Radmore tucker is a excellent company with great customer service and quick delivery I have purchased chainsaw brush cutter and blower very pleased with all machines
    From South Yorkshire

    I found Radmore and Tucker online, and am very glad I did. Was great to deal with, My Stihl ms181c was shipped fast, and arrived to Ireland within 3 days. I got E-mails every step of the way to know where my saw was at, and then from there partners DPD to let me know where my package was, and when to expect delivery, over all for radmore and tucker 10 our of 10, and will happily deal with in the future .

  9. Tom (verified owner)

    Ordered this chainsaw and it arrived promptly. At first, despite following all the instructions to the letter and checking the spark plug, I couldn’t get it to start. I rang Radmore Tucker and they gave me some really helpful advice, which helped me to get it started. Now it is running brilliantly and made fast, easy work of all the branches piled in my garden.
    Only reason I didn’t give 5 stars was that the instructions did not give any advice or tips for when the engine doesn’t start (except to check the spark plug for flooding). Setting it to the I position (instead of choke) and giving a little throttle, started it right away.

  10. Chris (verified owner)

    Great service, it was delivered really quickly…

  11. Fred C (verified owner)

    Great communication and reliable service

  12. Andrew Melville (verified owner)

    So far I have only assembled and tested the machine. No work with it yet, but all seems good. It was a bit reluctant to start at first, but now starts straight away. Looking forward to some logging this weekend!!

  13. Paul jackson (verified owner)

    Decent little saw, ideal for for timber up to 6 inch in diameter . Becomes a little laboured with there after, it’s light and easy to use .

  14. Paul Sayer (verified owner)

    Purchased the stihl 181 with a 16 inch blade Lightweight and easy to use .Decent petrol and chain oil tanks .Good power from the engine .Very competitive price from Radmore/ Tucker and fast delivery. On the whole very pleased with the chainsaw, price , delivery and the company

  15. Allistair (verified owner)

    Pleasure to do business with this company,delivered early and already assembled and ready to go.
    Should have changed chain saws years ago as previous Husqvarna never did work properly.
    No problems in recommending.

  16. Don Kilgallon (verified owner)

  21. Robin Gibson (verified owner)

    Great service all round. Prompt response to telephone query and delivery within 48 hours.

  22. David McKinnie (verified owner)

    Previously owned a few Husqvarna saws – which proved reliable and easy to work with but always thought the Stihl product would have the edge, so to speak,
    Purchased this saw with the 16 inch bar (why would you pay more for the 14 inch?).
    The saw arrived quickly by DPD and very well packaged,
    Assembly was very easy as was starting for the first time (follow the instructions if unsure)
    A detailed user manual is supplied which was a welcome surprise as compared to the usual – search online every time you need information.
    Initial use indicated an increase in noise level to that of the Husqvarna but not an issue with protective ear defence, it also feels lighter in use but may just be better balanced.
    The engine is a jem – it really does buzz and cuts through logs effortlessly.
    Cold stars are easy as are hot.
    I would recommend the saw to all and of course Radmore and Tucker are quick and efficient to supply – as always

  23. Shaun Holmes (verified owner)

    Probably the best customer service of any online tool sales company.
