Anyone try the Holzfforma Fuel/oil container?

[Gem99ultra]

I bought the Husqvarna one early, right after they came out. I don't remember the exact price, but I think it was around $40, which I thought at the time was a very high price for the convenience.
The convenience factor whe away quickly when a friend was helping me with some tree trimming. He wasn't very familar with the dual can and accidentally put oil in the gas side of the saw, and gas in the oil side.
After an extended failing effort in cranking the saw, it was apparent that the saw 'needed' a tune-up. The tune-up revealed the mix-up. ...a mistake easily made, and resulting in an unforgiving error.

People do that crap even with 2 separate containers. Ask me how I know I get them in to fix.

I got a saying for that.

Just saw the cheapest price in a while for the Husqvarna Combi Fuel can on Amazon. $42 each plus $25.88 shipping. You can save a little on shipping if you order more than one at a time.

Amazon.com

And now down to $38 plus ($25.88 shipping).

I'm glad people do this. I picked up a new looking 026 Pro at a pawn shop for $40. Had gas in the oil tank and oil in the gas tank. The girl at the counter had no idea why it wouldn't start.

And dropping yet again...

Now down to $36 plus $25.88 shipping = 61.88

Order 2 and save $5 each on the shipping (Not sure why, since they ship them in separate packaging.)

It still astounds me how the prices swing over such a huge range in just a few months. Some of it is the exchange rate: The dollar has gotten a bit stronger over the last few months. However, doubt that's all of it.

Starting to make me wonder if the seller on amazon is legit or not.

My wife just had to file a claim on that type of bull on amazon.

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.
