Multiple productions techniques have been used, each fitting their specific function and posibilities

This means no more transferring petrol from one can to another. This is safer and saves a lot of time and spillage. The oil bottle is easy to top up separately and then slide back into the Combihandle.

The Combihandle-Chainsaw has a holder for storage of two files, a spark plug wrench and the cap of the petrol jerry can. In the extra storage compartment you can also carry loose items such as a chain, flat file, spark plug or other tools.
