  2. im not even sure why anybody would need one?
  3. i wouldnt bother with a cordless, they dont hold charge for long enough ive got a diamond disk in a standard angle grinder and tend to touch up cutters before leaving the yard. im on greenteeth so have the option to turn twice on site (makita impact driver and socket set in truck )
  4. the 2 bolts arnt that awkward if you remove the roller springs lift up the rollers and place a wedge of wood to keep the rollers out the way. its the work of a moment
  5. or suing a ropeguide or similar chocked around the stem with your Ddrt system
