Review of Stihl HS45

stihl out does the rest

Advantages: easy to use and maintain
Disadvantages: none that I know of

I bought my stihl hedge trimmer 3 years ago second hand, and must say that it out does the rest. With being keen on gardening and running a maintenance business I chose the petrol version. The cutters are very easy to strip down and sharpen when needed and then easy to put back together. They cut any type of hedge with ease as others I find do not cut conifers well. I find the stihl hedge trimmers cut through thickness of up to an inch with no ...

Review of Stihl 2 stroke Petrol Strimmer

Be aware of this fact...!!! It is a "HALF CRANK ENGINE"...!!!

Advantages: Tools that came with it are good...!!
Disadvantages: Short life span...!! Only suitable for light use..!! Left handed Petrol/Oil mixer bottle....!!!

I bought the Flymo XLT3000 from Ideal World TV in Spring 2008...! From the beginning I had starting problems, then in spring 2009 after only one seasons use I couldn't get my XLT. 3000 Started at all and I was told it had had its days..... it was worn out..!! Not satisfied with this answer I then made extensive enquiries about this power unit with the people who are in the know about these things "The service engineers and repair mechanics that ...
...a "Half Crank" machine. What does "Half Crank" mean..?? Well in simple terms it means the crank shaft is only supported by one bearing, not two..!! Hence the terminology "Half" It doesnt take a Rocket Scientist to understand what stresses there are on just one bearing..... swing a heavy weight on the end of some string around your head and you'll get to know what stresses a half crank engine goes through.... One can certainly feel a high level ...

Review of Flymo XLT3000 Multitool Brushcutter / Strimmer 32cc

Fun gadget that gives a professional finish to the garden

Advantages: Lightweight and easy to use
Disadvantages: Having to keep the "on" button depressed makes my hand ache after a while

The Bosch Isio is a cordless electric shear set, which incorporates a blade for hedge trimming and a blade for edging the lawn with. It has a 3.6v lithium battery which gives it a running time of 40 minutes. Bosch reckon it takes 5 hours to charge from a flat battery, but I've never let it run totally flat so I haven't tested that aspect. When recharging it, a green light comes on on the front of the handset to let you know it is charging. When ...
...with manual shears. However, Bosch have come up with a solution for this and have produced a long handle that can be purchased separately, so the lawn edger can be used standing up. The solution I've come up with, is to encourage other family members to undertake the task, lol! I bought my Isio Shape and Edge set from garden4less.co.uk for £44.99 including delivery and it arrived in 36 hours of ordering which I thought was pretty good! One final ...
