Can of petrol and a match.

I only want to clear the weeds though.. the fence, oak tree & garage can stay .. 

I love an early morning rant Aaron - it's great for clearing the custard.

You and I have very different definition of rant, Den.. or of clearing the custard..

I got out of bed the right side today

On that general point - as I was missing for a while - where has this button gone?

Hold-up - I've just done a search.

It has been discussed several times... But you do have a valid reason for not having seen it

As I understand it, there are issues with it not working correctly so it has been disabled. I think it also has something to do with the site stability because it's a little temperamental at the moment I know the Admin team have said it is on the list of things to fix, butr low priority ATM

Cheers P - I looked over the search results (which I should've done in the first place)

Yep, I read that after I'd typed my reply but decided to post it anyway

The new search facility is so much better

Havent used one but I know a man who uses one regularily.There are allotments at the other side of my garden fence,and most mornings when I come home from nightshift,just as I fall into a nice slumber,of he rather goes - ringa dinga ding ding.......trimming all the weeds etc.around the perimeter of the allotments.
One day its going to end up with him on a ventilator and me in a cell.

I bought one in July this year.
Purchased from another E bay seller but the same machine minus the brushcutter attachment as I already have a large Maranuka heavy duty brushcutter / strimmer.
Very good value for money ,engine starts easily and runs well , although throttle grip and controls are very flimsy and very cheaply made and the shaft to engine connection flexes easily when you grip the machine to start it. The engine is powerful enough to be able to cut through 3 to 4 inch branches when using pole saw and easily cuts heavy hedging when in hedgetrimmer mode.
The engine kill switch didn't work upon delivery / first use but the seller had a comprehensive spares back up and sent me a new one FOC as soon as I reported it . I opened up the old one and repaired it but could see where the problem would arise from the standard of components inside. I'd suggest you ensure the seller has spares.
I have to say it's not a patch on the Maranuka but it's in a different league and price range.
The quality and fit of the attachments I got are very good and providing you don't expect a professional piece of machinery to be used all day every day then I'd say there are more than adequate for the job. I'll use it twice ,maybe three times a year.
They're all of Chinese origin and the documents enclosed state so .

Thanks for all the answers.  Too be honest it won't get used that much, 3 or 4 times a year and once I've cleared the jungle it'll be pretty light work.  I like the idea of the extension pole with the hedge cutter as my Mum's place has a tall laurel hedge at the bottom of the garden, so it might be ideal for that!
