Original blade, Spring and spare chain for multifunction branch cutters UPX82, UPX86, UP82, UP84 and UP86, Black, 1026293

My first problem was the packaging. Dont get me wrong I'm not one of those tree huggers who thinks , the world is going to end because I put my shrink wrapped pork chop in a carrier bag and drove home in my 3 litre BMW on my own. But these are three small flat items that could have easily fitted in a small jiffy envelope. It came from fiskars in a cardboard sleeve three times the size of the items ,that had a hard plastic front . Then amazon packers placed it in a box about seven or eight times longer deeper and wider than the spares. Then filled the box with grey packing paper to prevent the spares moving around in transit I suppose. Now if a thing is made of steel and galvanised metal manufactured to work in a robust outdoor environment.does it need any of all that. As I stated earlier I'm not a fan of that strange girl from Sweden or any of her followers but I now have to get rid of all this stuff and as my council are getting on board with the global warming thing I have to obey. The daft bit is you have to drive to the recycling centre on your own in your car to get rid of what is a cardboard box . So back to the spares I had to get instructions again from you tube as the instructions printed on the packaging were scant. Here's an idea cut back on the packaging and the money saved could produce a decent instruction sheet. Removing the chain link to remove the blade was tricky I used a long nose pliers. Once that was off replacing the old bent blade was easy enough . However putting the top bit on the chain to lock everything down not so easy. It took a lot of fiddling and trial and error. In the end I managed it but still cant explain how I did it ,I was trying to pull push squeeze all at the same time and it locked in. Lastly fitting the spring was easy using a pliers. To sum up far to much packaging so if tree hugging is your thing leave well alone ,but if tree hugging was your thing you wouldn't be repairing a tool to chop bits of them off. Not an easy fit but with a little time effort you tube and persistence it's not to bad. This was an expensive tool and I'm pleased to have been able to repair it relatively cheaply. I would reccomend this if you need one it's a lot cheaper than the alternative.

Strange one this. It wasn't in stock anywhere, even on other sites, so we were waiting for it to come in stock. Then all of a sudden it was in stock and at half price....such are the vagaries of Amazon! Anyway it arrived quickly and in a secure cardboard Amazon envelope. Inside was a Fiskars envelope, and inside that a folded card with the blade, a spring and a chain link. This was for our trusty UP86 I expected trouble but it was easy. Attached paperwork seems to be a list of spare parts for a range of products with instructions for some repairs but not this one, maybe it's supposed to be obvious! Took off the spring with long nose pliers, then removed the blade retaining nut, removed the broken blade ( I tried to cut one thick branch too far...) at this stage still attached to the chain so I didn't lose orientation. Inserted bolt and nut and did up finger tight I took a flat blade screwdriver and inserted into the end chain link between the pins. A fair amount of force required as I twisted the screwdriver but the connector came off, be prepared for it to ping off into the distance (eye protection night be an idea)..... It will be bent and unusable afterwards Took the new link and pushed through from the bottom, aligned the connecting link with one pin, there is a slight recess at the top of them, so make sure it's aligned. The other end looked just too short to line up. You need a pair of pliers that apply a steady vertical parallel force,normal ones are at an angle and they don't work, I used plumbing adjustable pliers, a vice would probably work too, but you can't check the alignment so easily. Pressed the connecting clip down onto the chain link, a bit of pressure and it clipped on. Quick test, do up the bolt, job done..... ten minutes max Nice quality kit, easily applied. Now back to those trees ....

Easy to fit blade etc but replacing chain link is a real pain. Instructions no use.

Good product enabling repair rather than replace. You'll need to search online for fitting instructions, which can be found on the Fiskars US site

It was as advertised, appropriately packaged and arrived when due. Quite easy to fit except the link. I used long nosed pliers to squeeze the link pillars close enough together to allow the top of the link to be fitted. Works the same as the original.

Replacement for current damaged blade, exactly what was needed.

Difficult and fiddly to fit, but works ok in the end. I used this methodology: 1. Removed old blade by inserting screwdriver into chain link and twisting. 2. Attached new link to chain and blade, pushing together the two halves of the link. 3. Clasped the two sides together with string and pushed the chain side of the link onto the pin. 4. Teased blade side of the link onto its pin by pushing away from the chain with a screwdriver. After several attempts it stayed fast. 4. Attach spring. 5. Test. Hope this helps.

It fits and it works 😁
