aldi battery hedgetrimmer - any good?
In message
, Jim K writes aldi are trailing these:- http://www.aldi.co.uk/uk/html/offers...uys3_15309.htm anyone have any experiences? The website at http://www.gtechgarden.co.uk/ has the manual. Mine is a bit on the puny side, but I've been quite impressed by what it achieves on our mixture of privet, holly, brambles and sprouting bits of small trees in front of the house. It doesn't extend very much, the blade is a bit short and the blade openings are not very large, but it's light enough and the belt mounted battery is definitely a good idea. The battery is 12 volt, 1.5 ampere hour. Now to the off-topic thread hijack... In the shed of the house son has bought and amongst all the other serious but old garden tools is a Webb hedge cutter. It has a sort of sack-truck trolley on which is mounted the large 12 volt car battery and a vertical drain-pipe sized tube full of oil in which the long reach blade sits while it is wheeled to the hedge. The drive motor looks antique with the brushes mounted on either side. The blade is single sided and has a good size gap. I'm keen to try it, but not sure the battery is up to much. It reads 3.5 volts and we haven't had time to wheel it to a charger yet. He has bought a Bosch, so is less keen that I am to add this to the urgent to-be-sorted list. Anyone here know these? -- Bill |
