I have a Lynx GS2200 garden shredder I bought 3 or 4 years ago at
Homebase. It's still going strong (the shredder, not Homebase - can
that shop go any further downhill?) - but one of the blades has
broken. The other needs sharpening, but not much point for just one.

Predictably I got blank looks at Homebase asking about blades. They
didn't have anything for other machines that looked as though it might
fit, and they're just about the only diy store in this area. I can't
find the original handbook, nor can I trace Lynx themselves on the
net.

Can anyone suggest a source of spare blades - even generic ones from
independent suppliers?

It wouldn't be the same as a Black & Decker GS2200 would it....? See

Try for details of the manufacturer/supplier at
that time. Also try your Yellow Pages for local lawnmower/garden machinery
spares/repairs in case they have blades that will fit.

I have never seen generic shredder blades, only machine-specific. Whoever
made the Lynx might have used blades that fit another make/model, so it is
worth looking around.

Perhaps you could ask someone in the UK who, as a recreational
activity, likes *gardening*.

HTH.
