EXHIBIT 23.2

                 NOTICE REGARDING CONSENT OF ARTHUR ANDERSEN LLP

         Section 11(a) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the
"Securities Act"), provides that if any part of a registration statement at the
time such part becomes effective contains an untrue statement of a material fact
or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary
to make the statements therein not misleading, any person acquiring a security
pursuant to such registration statement (unless it is proved that at the time of
such acquisition such person knew of such untruth or omission) may sue, among
others, every accountant who as consented to be named as having prepared or
certified any part of the registration statement, or as having prepared or
certified any report or valuation which is used in connection with the
registration statement, with respect to the statement in such registration
statement, report or valuation which purports to have been prepared or certified
by the accountant.

         This Form 10-K is incorporated by reference into the following
previously filed registration statements of Global Power Equipment Group Inc.
("Global"): Registration Statements filed on Form S-8: Nos. 333-64510 and
333-100926 (collectively, the "Registration Statements") and, for purposes of
determining liability under the Securities Act, is deemed to be a new
registration statement for each Registration Statement into which it is
incorporated by reference.

         On April 8, 2002, Global terminated its relationship with Arthur
Andersen LLP ("Arthur Andersen") as Global's independent public accountants and
engaged PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as its independent public accountants. After
reasonable efforts, Global was unable to obtain Arthur Andersen's written
consent to incorporate by reference into the Registration Statements Arthur
Andersen's audit report regarding Global's financial statements as of and for
the years ended December 30, 2000 and December 29, 2001. Under these
circumstances, Rule 437a under the Securities Act and Rule 2-02 of Regulation
S-X promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission permit Global to file
this Form 10-K without a written consent from Arthur Andersen. As a result,
however, Arthur Andersen will have no liability under Section 11(a) of the
Securities Act for any untrue statements of a material fact contained in the
financial statements audited by Arthur Andersen or any omissions of a material
fact required to be stated therein. Accordingly, purchasers of securities under
the Registration Statements would be unable to assert a claim against Arthur
Andersen under Section 11(a) of the Securities Act. However, to the extent
provided in Section 11(b)(3)(C) of the Securities Act, other persons who are
liable under Section 11(a) of the Securities Act, including Global's officers
and directors, may still rely on Arthur Andersen's original audit reports as
being made by an expert for purposes of establishing a due diligence defense
under Section 11(b) of the Securities Act.
