I'm after a 2 stroke multi tool for using round the garden. Strimmer/long reach trimmer is what I need. 

 

Being a freelance climber I have no need for the pro options for work, and can't justify spending the money for my own personal use.

 

Has anyone bought any of the cheaper options? I'm really hoping to spend no more than £300.

Have you got any decent stack of batteries? If it's a small amount of use then maybe buying a bare tool would work? Might still struggle on your £300 though.

 

My brother's got a system from Screwfix, think it was Ryobi, seems to do him ok.

Got a few ryobi batteries. Not really interested in battery though, 2stroke gets you more bang for your buck.

I bought the Hyundai, great if you can get it started but the choke is made out of cheese and doesn't (choke).

 

That looks promising. 3 year warranty too so could possibly have a new one each year 😁

I’d give the Hyundai a go mate.

You get an awful lot for £200.

 

My mate has one for his garden and it seems to work.

Heavy old beast as well, which may help longevity.
