The IKRA machine we review
The IBKH 52-1 is a petrol multitool with a 51.7 cc, 1.5 kW two-stroke engine, electronic ignition, a primer and a large 1.3 L fuel tank. The shaft is a split 26 mm aluminium tube, so the attachments swap without tools. It comes with:
- a brush-cutter/trimmer head — 42 cm with line, 25.5 cm with a 3-tooth blade;
- a hedge trimmer (395 mm, adjustable to 170°);
- a pole pruner with a 255 mm Oregon bar and chain;
- an extension shaft.

Why choose a multitool
One engine drives four tools, which saves storage space and the cost of separate machines. It suits a large garden with mixed jobs: brush cutting in summer, hedges and high branches in autumn.
Things to weigh
A multitool is a compromise. A split shaft adds a joint and some weight, and changing attachments takes time. A 51.7 cc engine is strong but heavy and loud, so use the harness and hearing protection. IKRA is a value brand, with a thinner dealer and parts network than Stihl or Husqvarna.
Alternatives we review
The Fuxtec FX-MT152 is a similar 52 cc four-in-one multitool, and the Einhell GC-BC 52 I AS uses a 51.7 cc engine of the same size in a dedicated brush cutter.
Who should buy IKRA
