"Wireless" Strimmers

Hi guys,

I'm sick of using my plug in strimmer, it's a faff, I think a petrol one is overkill so I'm looking at the strimmer that have removable battery packs so can be charged.

Does anyone have any experience with these? Strimming my garden takes around 15 minutes so that's all I need the charge to last for, I just want it to be reliable.

Thanks,

Do you have any cordless tools such as Dewalt XR or similar? Might be worth looking into something that can re-use your batteries.

I don't but a good shout.

I've dropped it, cleaned it once in 3 years and it's still going. Cheap too.

Cheers, yeah that's certainly down my street. Thanks for that

Probably takes me 15 minutes. I don't tend to donth far end or sides unless they're messy. Still think petrol is overkill!

You say that, I did have a petrol one some years back and I had a nightmare with it every summer when I came round to using it and it being stood for months! I get by with a wired jobby now, surely a strimmer just relies on similar batteries to that of your average drills etc, who don't appear to die often?
