Petrol strimmer - wow!

I also waited for one of their 10% days so got it slightly cheaper. This thing ATE my garden - fantastic. I have also just taken the plunge, but in a moment of madness I bought the larger 25cc McCulloch brushcutter. It has certainly eaten my rather neglected allotment - now I just have to work out what to do with a six-foot-high haystack... Now go out and buy some extra strimming line as what came with the strimmer won't last very long at all. :-( I noticed this - it may be that my lack of experience means that I'm bumping the line out more quickly than I need, but the first time I used it I ran out of line before I had cleared my allotment. It's easy to do grass edges, btw. Just rotate the whole thing around. Have fun....and remember those goggles..... The Cabrio 246 that I bought came with a face mask. It is only a basic mask - no swivelling for example - but it is still far better than goggles because a) it doesn't mist up and b) it protects the whole of your face from flying grass and twigs and macerated slugs and snails. -- Stuart Baldwin news\at/boxatrix\dot/co\dot/uk |
