The wife's set of hedge trimmers have had the gears stripped through repeated jamming on branches which are too thick for the trimmer.

Here's a pic.

What's the likelihood of a DIY repair?


Virtually nil I should say.
Even if parts are available, they'll cost an arm and a leg.

Punish them by never buying that make again.


Not my experience with gears on a Bosch green circular saw. Parts
readily available on the web (some time ago so no link) and prices not
too bad.
