Hi, can anyone recomend an electric strimmer that will deal with rough grass
/nettles etc. It needs to be light and easy to manage. Thanks.

Lightweight electric strimmers struggle with really long rough stuff.
They are better for keeping a plot tidy. Why not consider hiring a
heavy duty petrol model to get it cut short then use a light electric
one to keep it that way? Obviously the petrol ones are heavier but
they are well-balanced and have 2 handles making them easier to hold
and manoeuvre.
