Tools And Equipment

Paul your a diamond. think im goona have to knock one of those up just a simple question does the blade swivel slitley and rocks back and forth , If it does it's all about working out how to sort out the stops

That's the beast! Thanks. I wonder if my Mum has still got it ...

Im sentimentally atatched to my old massport mower as crap as it is due to it being the last tool i bought with my gramps help (it seamed a better machine lol) ive got the spare mowers down at my nans at the moment i think ill get rid of the hayterette though i never use it now ive got to have...

Yes! they were designed and built by engineers, not designed by someone who has never used one on the job and built by kids in an South East Asian country.Does anyone remember Holtums "Trusty Tractor", I think that was probably the fore runner of the Howard. It was a two wheeled (or walking)...

Carboot carboot and carboot. Mine was a fiver-don`t know its make, don`t much care had it for about 4 yrs now, it looks a bit knackered and Ive had to replace some of the clips ( with garden twine) and blown the tyre back up but still going strong. Don`t buy new stuff ever if you can help it.

I saw something yesterday which might fit the bill. A lawn aerator, like a fork with five or six hollow tines, I think it was £9.99.

I agree, albeit a japanese steel silkyfox saw is better than the wolf.

Many Thanks,I had no idea they were so closley related. I had seen the fixings mentioned but just wanted to check first.Cheers,Keith.

My FIL is in his early 70's and had a hip replacement a while ago (having worn his out with excessive Squash playing I expect!). He still skis

Thanks for the info Brind, found the ones you use on ebay, they are pretty cheap so I might be investing in some. Ta.

Hmmm, the qualcast panther looks good and still in budget I think.

I have splashed out and bought the Bosch cordless trimmer, with two batteries, for £69.99.And I'm pleased to report that it did a very good job this afternoon. The blades cycle slower than with the corded model, but it cuts perfectly well, despite sounding a bit weedy.I cut both sides...

If it was going to give me more tomatoes, I'd leave it, I don't mind smaller fruits.

Yeah its quite good allthough i dont use it overmuch to be honest but i got a good deal when i bought the lot lol
