@berkasal

yes the motor/planet gearbox/electronics all come from the commercial product
‘garden Mulcher”

its quick compact due to it being inline planetary, much the same as a cordless Drill…

thanks

Thank you for that information @kettlekekkers!

@lukas_lang sure, but i would say that if i were you id buy the stainless steel hex-bar, as this bright mild steel leaves a lot of rust in the plastic

also, it wont be perfectly 27mm, i had to file it down to fit

Hey @kettlekekkers,

do you have a link to the seller/product of the hex bar?
Because I´m also looking for a hex bar right now 😉
