I just bagged it for £90 off Amazon, appreciate it’s a few years old now though. Thanks for the review, the video was excellent 👍

[@LisaColemusic]

Thanks for the review, I have just bought one of these and can't wait to use it. You obviously know what you're talking about, your lawn is beautiful!

[@JayRockGroundsMaintenance]

Thank you very much ! 😄 it is brilliant for these smaller - medium gardens, makes life so much easier !🙌🏽🌱 enjoy your new toy😄

[@halegardenservicespeterbal3477]

Informative video, thank you! I just picked this up from amazon at £78 so I feel like that's a great deal. I also have a cordless B&D drill so I basically have a spare battery 😎

[@JayRockGroundsMaintenance]

That’s brilliant ! Great for its price & for around the garden, really can’t complain too much for cordless & under £100 😄🌱

[@user-cq5ro6rd1r]

Does this work with the black and decker 1.5AH 18v battery? I’ve found one for sale without a battery and charger but I have this battery with my drill so wondered if it’d still be worth getting or if the run time is shoddy with the 1.5AH

[@JayRockGroundsMaintenance]

@@user-cq5ro6rd1r I’m sorry seb, i am unsure if it is compatible across their whole range.

[@pilgrim3387]

@@user-cq5ro6rd1r if its the same battery as shown in the vid then it should be OK. I have the black and decker hedge trimmer and batteries are the same.

£49 at B&M complete with battery and charger

Great review. Just purchased this Trimmer. Your review helped me a lot. Thank you. Now I will go and practice 😃

[@JayRockGroundsMaintenance]

Excellent ! I hope it serves you well😄

[@Kevin_Hanrahan]

Just bought this today. Handy video. Thanks!

[@JayRockGroundsMaintenance]

Hope you enjoy mate !😄🌱

[@andrewsmith-cm9qw]

I paid £76 for mine at Amazon which I consider a very reasonable price

[@myopenmind527]

I have the 36v Black & Decker. Really like it and I’ve a leaf blower vac that used the same batter so I always have a back up. Today I nearly did all the edges of my garden. We have 2/3rds of an acre. Nice review.

[@JayRockGroundsMaintenance]

Oh wow ! That’s a large area for such a strimmer, great effort though ! You should have a look at my newest video, at the end I pull out my Husqvarna 325iLk, would suit your area to a T 🙌🏽🌱. These are great bits of kit though, thank you!

[@myopenmind527]

@@JayRockGroundsMaintenance just have. Agree with your comments. The money this year is going on a robotic mower after years of using a ride on mower. Will keep you posted.

[@JayRockGroundsMaintenance]

@@myopenmind527 brilliant ! Have a great season 😄🌱

[@aldobiglari4575]

Hi There Informative clip thank you. Please let me know what thickness of string it uses? This is very important. Most of the battery pwr ones use the 1.65-1.8 Cm. Which keep snaping!! Please let me know. Thank you

[@JayRockGroundsMaintenance]

Hi Aldo, I actually don’t own this item anymore but it is a thin line probably around the lower end of your margin, I would definitely recommend if it’s anything more than light maintenance then you get something slightly larger, have a look of my lawn care videos this year I use the Husqvarna 325iLk that uses 2mm-2.6mm and it eats through almost everything

[@kevinkinnu341]

Definitely considering getting one of these

[@JayRockGroundsMaintenance]

They are great for around the garden, although there is pros and cons, for its price there’s not many competing 🙌🏽🌱

[@jamesdewer]

Bro why not put the wheel where it can best roll, the concrete and thus performed use the concrete as a visual aid in maintaining equidistant dimensions?

[@brotoubrotou3164]

In spring I bought a craftsman 20 volt trimmer with the understanding I could return it if it wasn’t powerful enough. 2 days later I returned it. It’s basically the same as yours. Frankly, it’s a toy. No real power, couldn’t really trim anything. I turned around and bought the 60 volt toro. It’s light The battery lasts long enough to complete all my trimming on my 1/2 acre. Save your pennies and buy a real trimmer. I paid $159 US dollars

[@JayRockGroundsMaintenance]

Totally agree it’s for light use and edging, not much more, check this video here kzbin.info/www/bejne/fpW0d6WsiNemfck I now use a Husqvarna 325iLk, loads of power and plenty of uses. Bli 200 battery will get you roughly 20-30 minutes constant strimming of rough areas, probably closer to 40 minutes if your just doing light maintenance.. love it 😄

[@JayRockGroundsMaintenance]

Hopefully this notification brings you back to your original post👍🏼😄

[@byrnedes]

I like it has a wheel for edging. Is that standard?

[@brotoubrotou3164]

Where did my post go? Anyway, bottom line is don’t waste your money on toys. It has no power and anything with any thickness will give it trouble. I returned a Craftsman, almost identical. Was useless. I bought a Toro 60 volt which has tons of power. If you’re looking for less expensive this is the trimmer for you. I paid $159 US dollars. Lightweight too. Another bonus

[@JayRockGroundsMaintenance]

It’s still there pal - a few comments down 😄. I’ll re comment 💪🏽

[@Juliukas101]

I am thinking about buying one of these for my 40m2 garden in Gateshead! Hope it will be a good choice!

[@JayRockGroundsMaintenance]

For the smaller Gardens like that I’m sure it won’t let you down! 🙌🏽

[@brodygoalie]

New for 2023 no button for string feed! I assume it feeds itself when needed? Please advise. Thanks

[@Cheez-Itz_Christ]

Yup, as the string gets shorter, the load on the motor is decreased, this causes the rpm to increase which in turn unlocks the spool and allows the string to feed until the rpm drops again.

[@andrewsmith-cm9qw]

Which number is eco? And turbo ? Thanks I’ve just bought one of these for a small patio area that gets overgrown I can’t read the instructions too way (eyesight)

[@JayRockGroundsMaintenance]

Apologies Andrew I don’t use this unit anymore I am not too sure on the settings on this machine at this time. Hope it works for you! It did a fantastic job for me at home!😄

[@triciabelabbes5886]

How long does it to charge the battery and how long does it last ?

[@JayRockGroundsMaintenance]

Apologies Tricia, it has been a couple of years since I owned this machine I can’t remember exactly but you should be able to find the specs on Google 😄

[@mary-ann541]

How often did you have to replace the wire when you were using it?

[@JayRockGroundsMaintenance]

For the light edging I was actually using it for around my garden I never had to change it once in over 6 months. But I think if you were strimming longer stuff or using it weekly it would probably be changed at least monthly. The cord is pretty thin, exact size I can’t remember 🙂🌱

[@shazwelly]

A good review apart from you didn’t say anything about how easy or not it is to replace the wire

[@JayRockGroundsMaintenance]

His Sharon! Thank you for commenting 🙂 I used this for around 4 months for generic edging use and never had to replace the spool, something I definitely overlooked in the review, apologies

[@edwardkelly3425]

Hi, just wondering if its still working ok?

[@JayRockGroundsMaintenance]

Hi there I actually sold this just after the 6 months point as I was in the market for something more heavy duty. It worked brilliant till then, although the charger is very flimsy and probably the first to go!

[@douglasgyi]

How the hell do you charge it.do you need a seperate charger ?

[@JayRockGroundsMaintenance]

Hi there, yes there is a removable battery that slots into a separate charger.

[@jamiefarmer85]

Do you still have an affiliate link for this?

[@JayRockGroundsMaintenance]

Hi bud! Thanks for commenting, I don’t sorry, the one I have is on back order for the next 1-2 months. You would be better off buying one if you see one local 🙂

[@jamiefarmer85]

@@JayRockGroundsMaintenance Ok, no worries mate. Thanks anyway. Edging strimmers seem pretty hard to come across at the moment!

[@JayRockGroundsMaintenance]

Definitely in peak season pal! Maybe second hand, you just want to make sure it hasn’t been abused. But to be honest Once you get the hang of it you can do a good job with a normal strimmer turned over 🌱👍🏼

[@Rosa.pollock1978]

£49 B&M

[@devaprasadhjacob]

Exactly lasted one season of small yard use, worst battery pack ever, cheap crappy unit now useless tool since battery lasts not more than 30 seconds and 2 of them less than 2 years old.

[@JayRockGroundsMaintenance]

Wow that’s terrible, I didn’t have any problems with battery loss with mind but my garden is 70m/2 in total so really doesn’t take much of a toll on the machinery. But it’s definitely not meant for harsh work, more light maintaining. I upgraded to the Husqvarna 325iLk this season for edger and strimmer shown on my latest KZbin video on grass height reduction 👍🏼🌱

[@devaprasadhjacob]

@@JayRockGroundsMaintenance The lawn has barely 120linear ft of edge trimming, and never ran it to drain completely still both batteries failed early

[@JayRockGroundsMaintenance]

@@devaprasadhjacob that’s terrible that! Good you have commented pal, great for people seeing both good and bad !

[@brandon200yt5]

Who would use a strimmer for a hedge no one should be use a hedge trimmer

[@JayRockGroundsMaintenance]

For a hedge ? I don’t know what you mean. They were weeds 😂
