Already have brushcutter.

Can't you just remove the brush cutter blade and fit a strimmer head to it, or am I misunderstanding what you are intending.

It claims to be compatible....it won't be Stihl quality of course!
The first part to fail will be the gears in the bevel head drive, so keep it well greased!

Found a blower bg86 on eBay locally. He can't give me an address (ebay rules)but said can meet in a pub. Is this a good idea if something wrong with it won't know where he lives

Of course not.

I have occasionally bought things on ebay for collection, and paid cash after inspecting them.

Who told you this was not permitted under "ebay rules?"

He's nicked it

Stuff like this is on eBay for a couple of reasons.....
It's totally worn out
It's hot.

Keitai I know you said you've had you tools nicked. Don't buy someone else's stolen tools.

Save up a few grand and get a selection of professional battery tools, and decent batteries. They are so much better. Cheaper to run, less vibrations, less noise, no petrol vapour in the back of the van, can refuel at home, more reliable, etc.
The lower noise means you can potentially work at times when you couldn't with a 2 stroke (like on a Sunday morning).
The fact it doesn't give you asthma and lung cancer is a bonus too.

This, but give Husqvarna a miss, the tools are alright but their battery chargers notoriously die just after the warranty runs out.

The husqvarna battery system has been great for me, the older charger is now past the 5 year mark!

Does yours have a 13a plugtop?

Specifically the QC330 fast charger is the one that causes issues.
I still have the single lead 'slow' charger that comes with the tools, but no issues with that, but needs leaving on overnight.

 

[scbk]

The QC500 is the fast charger! QC330 is the mid speed. The model number relates to the watts, 500w and 330w, I have both.

They can't be good as the petrol ones? My two stroke husquvarna short reach hedgecutters power was incredible. Go through anything. No way battery one could match it

That’s my opinion too but we may be proved wrong some day!
