The message
from "Martin Sykes" contains
these words:

I've got one of those and it's good for grass but anything woody does snap
the 'plastic string' a lot. I wonder though - what's to stop me taking the
plastic string off, rewinding it with something stronger like galvanised
straining wire and using it like that?

In a word, shrapnel.
