When I was buying it there wasn't really any videos of it properly working. So when I got it I took it to a job, recorded it, and put it on youtube. Weirdly the video has had 53,000 views, and every so often I will get an email ping through saying someone in some far away land has left a comment on this boring mundane video! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G65NzyqXwBA

Not used a Stihl 4 mix so can't compare, but yes the little Honda 4 strokes are easy to start. It's a great strimmer, the only downside is it's heavy

Good to see the electric finger chopper living up to it's name

This one came up on todays deals, the price is the deposit! There's a nice 30 sec video of the machine at work, the operator seat looks kinda cramped, and then the engine/radiator cover pops open lol https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005008080095156.html

Buy a new pair of boots, but take the soles off the new ones and put them on your old boots. Then when the old leather upper wears out, you now have a spare for that too 👍

Have you got a chart showing the volume of wood in a cubic tonne?

Aside from the wildlife, trying to set fire to a large piles of branches usually has a low success rate, so you're going to have to move it anyway. Best off starting a small fire and adding the material to it, then you can have a nice clean fire, safe, everything burnt, and with the least ground damage. On the 2 acres is there not space to just leave the stuff to rot down? Better for nature. -

Looks good, do you go in there for a wee break from moderating on arbtalk

Chain oil? Then wonder why the saw won't start? Or refuel the saw, forget to put the cap back on, and get petrol down your leg?

Gotta be a business opportunity to fill an artic trailer with it (on a backload) and bring it over here and sell it for polycrubs?

Handy tool, I bought one years ago, mainly used for scraping bark off logs. I remember it said on it hand sharpen only - assume the heat of an angle grinder a ruins the temper of the steel? But the thing was so blunt from new, it would've taken weeks to do it by hand, so out came the grinder. Peeling off ivy is very satisfying, but I hate the dust

Looks good Here's my cargo bike off to do a few wee jobs with the battery strimmer!

Big old heavy bugger oak which had fell many years ago, and was well and truly sucked into the ground

A friend was telling me he was in a local garden machinery place and they had cable ties on the counter for sale, I think it was 50p. He was like 50p? Seems good? "yes per cable tie" -

Probably make more money with a pallet of screenwash or blue roll (workshop wipes) in the shop, everyone needs it! -
Yep same for "warning forest operations" signs, usually left in the woods until the uv degrades the plastic and it falls to bits

Marginally better than a chainsaw without it!

I've had the clip n trim for quite a few years, butchered numerous hedges (especially beech) back in to shape with it. I'm a right rogue so I even have the saw dangling off the end of an elephants trunk harness, what could go wrong eh!

Not got any henchman branded ladders but it seems there isn't much between them

How old are you? Looking at the website they also do a 10% discount every tuesday for over 55's, can you get us a saw? And some um bongo.
