Does it look decent quality for the money? I'm really after a strimmer, but guess the hedge cutter and lopper might come in useful if it will last a few years...

 

 

I've just been and got one.

Quality is not bad at all for (so read good) for £130.

I've only picked it up for the pole pruner bit really as I don't want to spend hundreds on one that will get used 3-4 times a year!

The hedge cutter may come in handy too as it has the extra extension pole.

Worth a punt for the money I think.

They must be reasonably confident as it has 3 year warranty even though it's only domestic it's better than Stihl etc give you on most stuff.

Just seen the response! Thanks, think I've missed it now!

 

Hopefully the strimmer will be back in stock soon...

 

Steve, still going well?

 

Yeah, it's still going great & has tackled a mountain of gnarly bramble (using an Oregon mulching blade for that).

The harness is pants, rubbish, so that's worth an upgrade.

Apart from that I just make sure the head is regularly greased.

 

cheers, steve

They have the chainsaw sharpener again next week, think ill go get one. for 20-odd quid its worth a punt. I always hand-sharpen but the machines are good for getting all teeth back true and same-length again. Anyone tried one of these lidle-ones?

 

 

Yes, there's another thread on here about them somewhere. I have had one since 2012, only gets domestic use but still going up to now.

Another vote for the oregon mulching blade which I spent last weekend smashing through brambles that hadn't been touched for years. Easy to use and reduces everything to tiny pieces. Only small problem is it gets a bit angry when you ground it, plus I think it's a bit hard on the strimmer as the gears in the head now feel a bit loose and there is grease coming through to the spindle so I may have shot the bearings. Good job it's got that long warranty....
