Yes, I know there is a gardening forum, but there are lots more folks on this cycling one!
I have a field next door, with an unploughed/sown edge that grows nettles, thistles etc. I need a strimmer that will cut through it (I just want to do a narrow band right next to my fence to help stop it rotting and to help stop the bindweed coming through, not to demolish the lot!). The strimmer I have has quite a narrow nylon thread that keeps breaking (mind you, the thing is probably at least 15 years old). So I might need something a little closer to a brush cutter.
But I also have a newish hedge, that next year is probably going to need an electric hedge cutter.
I was wondering about buying a multi-tool that has one motor and changeable heads. Anyone got any experience with these? It would seem a cheaper option than buying two separate tools, and you might also get an edger or other tool as well. But I wondered about 'getting what you pay for' and also how the designs have been compromised to make the multi-tool option.
So, any opinions or advice welcome, please!
