I have just bought a 25L Stanley oil free with all the basic air tools from Screwfix £99, mainly for blowing out saws and pumping up tyres at home. You will need a extension hose 10-20m as the curly pigs tail hose supplied is only 2m long Lidl have a 50L (tools extra) for £79 this Thursday The Last 50L one I bought for one estate was about £150 but came with a free tool box and set of spanner, pliers etc. Compressor worked ok but the wheels collapsed! You pays your money and takes you pic, one thing they are all incredible loud when charging, will have to soundproof mine for use at home.

I have cirummed one again to the pile of gardening equipment in Lidl...already have the Chainsaw sharpener. My Stihl KM series Hedge Trimmer attachment is getting on a bit and I have a lot of hedges to trim, started last week. The Electric Long Reach Hedge Trimmer (split shaft) for only £69.99 complete is a bargin. KM Stihl Attachment alone about £255.00. So far I have worked out that you have to use the Florabest clamp onto the KM Engine unit, will run it up tomorrow Wed 09 and report back. S.G.

Ok so here's a little hedge, Hawthorn, Blackthorn, Field Maple, Beech in between old hedge out of sight and finally "out in the open " at the end, wooden fencing due to collapse in a few yrs so hedge planted to replace it. I strimmed the planting area, planted hedge, then went back with roundup to kill off the grass a few weeks later, as you can see weeds have taken over already.... needs another spray if we get a few dry days before winter.
