Heh heh, have returned from Bunnings the richer by one cordless whippersnapper, which is charging as we speak. I foresee an afternoon of green destruction in the garden. The compost heap will no doubt thank me, even if the neighbours complain.
THEN IT IS TIME TO CELEBRATE🍻
I will always vote in favour of fucking up kikuyu and couch grass in any context
Yes, now have a Dan's trip planned. Could just go some lemon myrtle vodka rn.
@Thornburywitch @bot001 one of the nice things about battery whippetsnappers are that they are a bit quieter than the nasty 2 stroke ones. Much easier to start, too!
The ryobi one? Be aware they ship them with the expensive reels...but unless you have hugely fat kikuyu runners the cheaper threepack works fine.
Source: have had one for years
Nope, the Ozito. Uses dinky little plastic blades. Fine for what I want it for which is basically trimming around trees and the washing line posts. Also my other power tools are all Ozito, and the batteries are interchangeable within the brand.
Ozito do surprisingly good stuff, got a number of their power tools
