3 or 4 is fine for heavy bramble, but will kick back more on thick
stems. 3 is supposed to be better in thin stuff as you can "swat" down
through it easier, but in practice I've found little difference in
use. Both are good multi-purpose blades.

These pipes perish with age (don't know the model, unsure if it's a
new one or not). They perish most often at the nipple to the tank or
carb and the bodgers choice method of fixing it is to cut off the
split and reattach, which can make it shorter and tight.

They're generally quite interchangeable and most garden machinery
places will be able to replace it out of stock if you take the old one
in (and mention you need it a few mm longer).


Hi Simon,
Thanks for the replies, I managed to get it sorted in the end.
