Bought one of these about 4 yrs ago to supplement my petrol strimmer for lighter work. All I can say is that it’s the best £28 I’ve ever spent on garden tools. Surprisingly good for the price and the battery lasts so long it’s not run out on me yet. I charge before using and after 20 mins it’s still going strong. Oh and I’ve not replaced the line yet! It does only get used 2-3 times a month but still. For grass and light weeds, it’s perfect 👍

[@LeeFall]

Meant to use the guard against walls/raised areas to stop the line breaking lol

[@The5erge]

Picked one up today for £30. Well worth the money, does a decent enough job.

[@olivetree2939]

Got one of these when marketed by B&Q , but green, 3 years ago and still going strong. Great bit of cheap kit.The whole thing for the price of a cheap battery pack. You cant really go wrong.

[@toby5710]

Trance music and strimming go hand in hand ;)

[@MindMeetMaker]

So I'm watching a guy strim his garden now ha and I dis my misses for watching love Island 😂

[@andykirby]

It happens to the best of us😅

[@DavideMazzetti]

Well, at least this is useful information. 'Love Island' is for the brain-dead.

[@robthomas7232]

Hi Andy, side subject but I see the Lidl 20V battery range are good value with a 4Ah for about £25 (plus charger). Shame they don't supply a generic mating connector so it could be easily used in home brew projects. I guess I could see if I could 3d print a connector. Ideas, ideas.

[@Chopgood86]

Andy, we LOVE your video!! My 18 month old can't get enough of it and we all walk around quoting snippets from the video. You're a legend in our household 😂💪 "It's gone down a tenner!", "Let's see what this badboy can do!"

[@andykirby]

😂awesome!!!

[@havocgeneral]

Not bad, a cordless strimmer is well worth it, just pick it up and go, no faffing with wires, especially in larger gardens. I have a Ryobi ONE+ cordless strimmer which is a bit more heavy duty but also more expensive. It uses the same 18v batteries as my other Ryobi tools which is the main reason I bought it.

[@tonytwobins4964]

I would never shop at that shop since seeing how many returns they got .I worked nights shopfittig at argos hundreds of returns daily .

[@andykirby]

Yeah, I've heard that.

[@justintemp]

What's the opinion after a few years? Battery OK? Still recommend ?

[@andykirby]

Still going strong

[@ahaveland]

£30 worth it just for the batteries and motor, and ditch the rest! Can use the guard to brace against the wood so the nylon doesn't get frayed, or make wheels for it so it holds a line. I prefer more natural gardens hospitable for wildlife instead of OCD lawns! :-)

[@mrbenn2106]

Thought you were going to butcher it to see if it could be used for a budget ebike conversion...

[@Juliukas101]

I have got this same model strimmer and find it amazing! I live in a small ground-floor studio flat that has a very large 42m2 garden and this does the whole lawn on one charge!

[@ABITOFTHISANDTHAT12]

So it's worth buying as I'm after one and wasn't sure.

[@tomstdenis]

I expect in the next video you to take apart the battery and fit it with twice the voltage and 4 times the Ah so you can use it to strip paint off a submarine.

[@andykirby]

How did you guess?!

[@joannaa1724]

Can you do a video how to redo the spool?

[@kelzhomehairimprovements8109]

I need to know this too! My wire has disappeared lol

[@alexhollowood1814]

Just had same problem. Had to remove the grey guard. Grip the outer spool (which is tricky) and twist and push down on the inner. Just sort of happened for me after 30mins of trying to get it to work! Hope that helps

[@ann301]

Hi Andy, do you think the strimmer can be used to cut weeds and tall grass on an allotment?

[@hilux58]

Thanks Andy , this video came at just the right time , I’ve reserved one for collection tomorrow 👍

[@andykirby]

Haha! 👍👍👍

[@craigr306]

big brother is watching iv just been on argos website looking at this

[@paulgarner2275]

How fast does the blade go any one know ad are they any good iv got to small ish gardens

[@sos24472873]

How do you change the strimmer wire

[@MyRendersonique]

I never thought a I would find a vlog on a colorless strimmer so interesting. Keep em coming Andy! 👍😊

[@andykirby]

Haha me either!

[@paulgarner2275]

I might get one soon try it out

[@shahlasamad5873]

Like it when someone to the point and none of this waffling before testing. By the way, it's now £50 from Argos

[@rhiantaylor3446]

Interested to know if the batteries are mechanically compatible with any other brands we may already have e.g. Lidl/Parkside or the screwfix ones. Don't want to build up a stock of different batteries.

[@andykirby]

It’s a good point, I reckon there’s a chance all these cheap tools come from the same Chinese manufacturer so it could be likely.

[@Jesusandbible]

can you replace the battery?

[@Sentinel4261]

Hay Andy have you seen the power leg knee pads? I know you don't need them but intresting. Thanks for your video s

[@tigi2428]

Yeah... Wait till you try and source a replacement spool though! Only came across this video trying to fond out how to respool it from scratch.

[@andykirby]

Can’t you just buy some line and rewind it on to the existing spool??

[@tigi2428]

@@andykirby yeah I've transplanted off a flymo spool now. Cheers

[@chaswinder]

Wilko and Poundland both stock rolls of replacement generic strimmer line very cheaply, that work fine with this strimmer. Manual recommends using 1.2mm or 1.4mm line

[@kelzhomehairimprovements8109]

The wire in ours has gone, we dont know how to remove it to replace the wire, any ideas?

[@okantichrist]

Undo the base

[@infonator1]

By the way I bought two Redback 120 volt weedeaters for 100 dollars a piece. There great!!!

[@plymtvnipps]

He changed shoes part way through

[@escapeman9016]

Can you get spare batteries or would you hack it? Now gone up to £40 again ...

[@audreyseymour1857]

can you use it to strim shrubs

[@manpower3000]

Andy, great video . .got one last week from Argos (via eBay) £40 + £4 delivery. Nice and does the job, ran for c. 35 mins on full charge ... thinking ahead to when the line runs out, what would you recommend as a replacement, believe 1.4mm sufficient and is it easy to wind onto the spool ? cheers

[@zenzen9131]

Some unscrupulous people would take it back and then buy another one from a different store to get the £10 off ! Not you or me though :)

[@chumleywarner7245]

Great Andy,do they do them for my window box ..??

[@fourdee4d]

Nope, only doors and spheres :(

[@del-boysnostalgiatvads7416]

You do the lawnmower huh, ???

[@peterelement820]

Interested. Looks good. But I'd probably avoid just because of teh stupid music on this video. Why do people think a soundtrack adds something ? The whole point of KZbin, for me anyway, is its media without all the TV production crap included.

[@andykirby]

Music is down to taste of course. I make all the music for my channel. Thanks for the feedback.

[@williammckenna7420]

Thanks Andy I was looking for one. Got it this morning, perfect👍

[@roydickins7764]

Why did the guy seem so pleased that the thing was still going when it couldn't have had any more than 20 mins use.

[@andykirby]

20 mins is good for a £30 strimmer

[@kaizenomnibiz5383]

Rebadged as Mostaz Moto in Malaysia B&Q in other country

[@likeher9]

Andy I sh** myself when I seen you messing with that wire with the battery still in😲 it'll take your finger off! We love you to bits on here man, so please no. Cracking bit of kit though. PS: your new mid drive kit is looking sweet, can't wait for video.

[@andykirby]

Haha yeah watching that back I did cringe a bit 😅😅 mid drive is coming! I’m posting daily pictures on my Instagram, video should be next week.

[@likeher9]

@@andykirby yeah Instagram is where I've seen it! This is gonna be gorgeous Andy🚴🚴. Just bought a new mid drive myself to add to the fleet, check out My Instagram instagram.com/likeher9/

Deffo value for money thanks Andy!

Better than nothing.

Andy you look like my brother in law who just passed away. I'm gonna send your vids. to his kids.

[@jamesfarquharson3651]

Don't buy battery strimmer the are bad

[@baztudd]

I just watched 5 mins off grass cutting hmmm

[@andykirby]

But strangely you enjoyed it right?? I was in two minds whether to put this video out but it was weirdly satisfying watching the strimming when I played it back😅
