The wife's set of hedge trimmers have had the gears stripped

Here's a pic.

What's the likelihood of a DIY repair?

Yea,what make are they so I'll won't buy 'em

Bosch. Think they have lasted 3 years with no maintenance (other
than SWMBO cutting through the cable a few times)


Which model?


I think AHS 60-16, but not certain - need to check at home tonight.


If it's that, there doesn't seem to be much in the way of gears. There is
a drive assembly for the blade, and it comes with a new blade too. £45.22
- the most expensive part!

What do you think has actually failed?
