PowerDevil garden shredder
I asked here a week or so ago about garden shredders, and got some good advice. The local hardware superstore has PowerDevil shredders for 100 euro (65 pounds sterling). I wonder if anyone has experience of thses, good or bad? I'm asking because I had a very bad experience with a PowerDevil cordless drill, where the rechargeable battery failed after one usage. (The shop said I must have over-charged it, which is possible.) -- Timothy Murphy e-mail (80k only): tim /at/ birdsnest.maths.tcd.ie tel: +353-86-2336090, +353-1-2842366 s-mail: School of Mathematics, Trinity College, Dublin 2, Ireland |

I'm asking because I had a very bad experience with a PowerDevil cordless drill, where the rechargeable battery failed after one usage. (The shop said I must have over-charged it, which is possible.) Well after having a few crap Powerdevil tools I would say leave well alone. We had a Powerdevil hover mower that decided to self-destruct the rotating part sending shards up to 20 feet. Now the bits of that were plastic so not too lethal, but a shredder is going to have big whirly metal blades :-( I would not be happy being in the same garden as one working, let alone using. OK I may be overeacting but in my experience Powerdevil is pretty much at the bottom of the cheap chinese tat tool quality league. Henry |
