B&Q Strimmer: Opinions
 

I'm looking for a strimmer replacement at the moment, and while I know the
usual advice is to spend more, (Stihl etc) I am tempted by the PRO24CCBCA at
£120. This has a choice of disc or line and has a 3-year warranty. To get
a comparable Stihl, with 2 years warranty would cost about £200-300, and I'm
just wondering if the difference would be justified, especially for less
than professional use.


Regards and thanks in advance,


Pat Macguire

The best strimmer I have had, and still got, is el-cheapo B&D non automatic
version.
I think I got it with Green Shield stamps!
I tried more expensive Flymo which was too weak for me, so I gave it to my
daughter.
With the old one you can practically sculpt the garden, trims the hedge too
