60cm is plenty - you have more dexterity and work almost as quickly
and a lot easier.

Agreed there - I'm looking for no more than 60cm. I've decided on Stihl and
thought I'd decided on a cordless. From what you say I guess I'll put
petrol back on my list. Won't be buying until next spring so plenty of time
to check on things :-)

Thanks Rod.
