Rechargeable Strimmer

Hi

Has anybody purchased or used a rechargeable strimmer and are they any good??

Dave

 

HI Loofah

Thanks for the info I will have a look on ebay.

Thanks again

Dave

 

Try and get one with a Lithium-Ion battery (Li-on) they don't lose their charge or have a memory, plus best of all they charge fast - (with the right charger) 80% in 30 mins

 

Thanks for the reply

I will look out for that then

Dave

 

I have a Black and Decker one which I find great for my little plot

 

Thanks for that Banana man

It could be a B&D from B&Q then. No power on the allotment I share so one of these will be great.

Hi BM have you been hiding in your hideout. I was just wondering, that was'nt you on gardeners world last friday was it.:confused::confused: 02

 

I've got a bosch rechargeable - I've had it a few months - its working very well.

 

Flymo for me.

 

Hi all

I started talking about this in June and still have not bought one!
Thanks for all the replies I have researched a bit more just lately and the Ryobi cordless looks quite good any comments on these??

Thanks

DAve

 

when i saw the title was going to suggest the ryobi to you, their one for all range means the same battery is used in all their battery tools, from strimmers to sanders to drills, i have a drill and no complaints, was planning on getting a strimmer that can use the same batteries

 

Just make sure its got Li-on batteries

 

Hi All

Gosh have you seen the price of the Li-on batteries, I nearly fell out of my chair.

Now the question is do I really need Li-on or a li down (after that shock)

Thanks for all the replies & advice

Dave

 

Well at last the strimmer has arrived, I bought the Ryobi rechargeabl with the LI ion batteries.

Only used it once (today) brilliant not as powerful as a petrol strimmer but excellent for what I want

Thanks for all the advice and help
