Silly answer most people turn their heads when they hear a strimmer to
avoid dust and pebbles hitting them in the Eye, or if its a young lady with
the strimmer some might think its sexy.

Serious answer I'm assuming this is an electric one. Most of mine used
motors on the bottom but I believe the move to put the motor higher was to
help with the balance of the device when using it. It is not usually
flexible. its a straight shaft with some kind of angled drive at the
bottom. Probably crap plastic gears or somesuch.

Hi All,

B&D electric strimmer - , lots of motor and fan noise from the handle end,
but no movement at the business end.

Do that have some kind of flexible drive shaft? Or else what should make
the head turn?

TIA

Chris
