Anyone try the Holzfforma Fuel/oil container?

I ordered two of them back when they dropped to $42. Received in good shape and in just 8 days from the time I ordered. Pretty good, considering they were coming from the UK.

Thank you for info.

I actually broke down and bought one of the Husqvarna Xenoah cans thanks to you * enablers. It is pretty nice, I have a lot of trail clearing I'm working on where it kind of makes sense to just walk them and do all of the cutting then come back with the tractor and equipment and clear up the residue later... so having only one can to carry is actually dang convenient.

That looks like something my brother-in-law would come up with. He's a master of scrounging and quite inventive.

John Mc,
If you don’t need both, I’ll give you $42 for one, but you gotta do free shipping.

Same link (to the Husqvarna store listing), but no price shown. When you click on "See All Buying Options" it shows you a Japanese supplier at $192. Mine came from the United Kingdom.

If you wanted to come pick it up, I would sell one to you at my cost. I ordered two: one to donate to a fundraising auction for a wildlife/forestry non-profit I'm involved with and one as yet undetermined (might give it to a friend for a gift, or donate it to another non-profit's fund-raiser).

I keep an eye on them, and when the price drops, I order a couple if I have not found a home for the last ones I've ordered. The price will come around again, you just have to be patient. When it starts dropping, it's a game of chicken: do I order now, or wait for it to drop further. Wait too long, and you miss the cycle.

Arrived.
$47 Ebay
You know you are getting old when everything seems expensive.

Yeah, and combined with being a "tight wad" my whole life...
I do more window shopping than real shopping.

The Husqvarna combi cans have disappeared completely off Amazon.

The prices on eBay are now mostly $145 and up. I did see one coming from the UK advertising $80 with free shipping (from GMTOOLS. I've bought from them in the past with good results.)
