Anyone try the Holzfforma Fuel/oil container?

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.Well they must be all gone cause now theyre back to $192
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).John Mc,

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.

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.)

Just out of curiosity, I looked to see what is the current price on the Husqvarna Combi Cans. They are still not showing up at all on Amazon. The lowest advertised price on eBay is still from GM TOOLS1, shipping from the UK. When the price is converted to US$, it comes to $87.61 ($60.65 plus $26.96 shipping). There is also a note "Due to US customs policies, the buyer of this item will need to pay import fees to the shipping carrier prior to delivery." I have not followed closely wht the current duties are for stuff coming from the UK, but it will certainly bump the cost up a bit more.
Previous low price was about $62 ($36 plus $25.88 shipping), and you could knock that price down to $57 if you ordered two at once.
2 weeks ago, I donated one of my spares to a silent auction fundraiser for a non-profit I'm involved with. The winning bidder paid $90 for it. (He is a forester, but was not at the auction. He had told a friend to bid for him up as high as $125 for it.)

After using the stihl clone one I wont ever go back to the husky one when my 2 nozzles IF they ever go bad for any reason.
I like the Farmertec stihl clones better for nozzles.
Just a couple things I like better on the oem husky one.
Only things I wish was better on clones, was their tool pouches and the clear sight lines on both tanks.
What I paid. Lowest I seen.
Order Summary
Items: $25.00
Shipping & handling: $13.75
Total before tax: $38.75
Estimated tax to be collected:* $0.00
Order total: $38.75
Once they went over 50 shipped and stupid parts pricing. I knew last one in oem husky.
