Yes it is possible. The simplest way would be to put a plug on the cut end. Since you have to ask it would be wise to not try it yourself but take it to an electrician. Get your mum to take it and smile sweetly at the sparky. David |

Unfortunately the cut is right near the end of the cord towards the handle of the trimmer/ I'll try contacting B&D but I guess they will just tell me to buy a new trimmer!!

Don't know about UK trimmers but I have 2 in US. One has no cord and you plug into it. Other has about 8 inch cord which would be impossible to cut with trimmer. I've cut extension cords a couple of times and its not brain surgery to put on a new plug. Check with your local hardware store. |

Dan Battery powered trimmers are good for cutting twigs and when the battery dies, the replacement is about what you paid for the trimmer in the first place. Gas has the power, and expensive to repair, but unless you are landed gentry, you will just ****-off the neighbors when you fire it up.

I will agree with your assessment on the trimmers. I do have land. The gentry label is questionable Enjoy Life... Dan -- Garden in Zone 5 South East Michigan. |

I managed to get one of those devices that allow two ends of a wire to be joined to together but unfortunately it still doesn't work. Im guessing the cutter's engine has blown(?)
