Off topic but did you find the back pack strimmer beneficial? I've got a few jobs that involve strimming banks and often wondered about buying one, not sure if it would just be another gadget in the arsenal though?

 

In reply to Mozza: If you just want to borrow one I've got a couple of spares, sure that I can lend you one temporarily if your stuck.

the backpack is great for bankings and big blitzes. not easy being delicate around lawns with it though if you are doing a spot of grass cutting. but it has loads of power. i sometimes stick the saw head on for doing jaggies

I thought it would come into it's own on banks. I tend to use the smallest strimmer I can get away with for the job as it means I end up less tired.

 

Do you get less vibration with the back pack one or is it similar with most of the vibe coming from the shaft?
