GUIDE TO HEDGE TRIMMER SELECTION

Efco TG 600 E Electric Hedge Trimmer - £104

For tending and cutting hedges with small trunks located near to houses, even in spaces where access may be difficult, the best option is an electric hedge trimmer rated 600 or 700 watts, guaranteeing agility, easy handling and minimal noise.  Alternatively, professional hedge trimmers are just what you need to confidently tackle all types of hedge, no matter how tough or dense.  Generally rated over 600 watt, they ensure consistent long-term efficiency with maximum productivity and minimum effort.

Hedge trimmer blades can have single or double cutting edges and are between 60 and 75cm in length.  Optional features, such as a primer, ensure trouble-free ignition, even at low temperatures.  The dual safety switch and the shockproof  material used in construction are designed to protect the user and safeguard the integrity of the machine.  The handgrip turns through 180° allowing operation even close to walls, with the machine held at an angle.

PROPER MAINTENANCE OF YOUR HEDGE TRIMMER

Efco TG 2750 XP Petrol Hedge Trimmer - £349

• Check the condition of the blade.  If excessive wear is evident, contact a service centre.
• After each session, free the blade of any debris that has collected.  When clean, spray the blade with a light coating of thin oil to prevent rust.
• Sharpen the blade periodically with the special tool provided
• Clean the machine regularly with a soft brush or a cloth
• Periodically inspect the air and fuel filter on petrol models, and replace if necessary
• Clean the cylinder fins on petrol hedge trimmer regularly, using a brush or compressed air

Corded & Cordless Lawn Mowers

In a world with so many choices now when it comes to technology, it’s very important to compare two versions of the same mower. This is very important when it comes to electric mowers to be able to find which is better: corded or cordless lawn mowers?

Bosch Rotak 43 Li Cordless Rotary Lawn Mower

Many homes prefer electric mowers because they are so much easier to use than their petrol counterparts and they are now extremely affordable for the average home. Electric also helps the environment by preventing so many unnatural gases being put into the air and promotes a quieter place to live. This is the main thing about both the corded and cordless lawn mowers, but doesn’t answer that question of which is best.

The thing about the two types of electric mowers is that they work completely differently. As you can tell from the name, you either plug the mower into the electric outlet or it runs on batteries that are rechargeable. The cordless variety offers you more movement and makes it much easier to move around trees and makes it simpler to move over different levels of terrain. The corded variety means that you can only move to the length that the cord will stretch to, which can limit you severely if you have a large lawn.

However, because the cordless lawn mower run on a battery, you run the risk of it not being powered up enough and you’ll have to wait for the battery to recharge. You’ll only gain around one hour of time to mow your lawn or garden and then you’ll need to wait between 12 and 24 hours for it to fully recharge. The corded variety won’t need the downtime for any batteries to recharge, which means you can do the whole garden in one go.

You will look to be paying more for a cordless mower. However, this is something that you could consider if you know that you’re going to struggle with finding somewhere to constantly plug the mower into.

EASY, SAFE AND ECO-FRIENDLY LOG SPLITTING ~ ALL FOR JUST £79.99

 

 

With snow forecast across the UK later today, be prepared for the cold snap and who knows, maybe even a white Christmas, by keeping the home fires burning.  The Smart-Splitter makes log splitting fun, easy, eco-friendly and equally importantly; very safe. The clever ergonomic design uses gravity to do all the hard work, applying up to 14 tons of splitting force whilst simultaneously avoiding all the backache that is often an unfortunate consequence of chopping wood by axe.

Smart-Splitter

The amazing patented design of the Smart-Splitter has to be seen to be believed. This is not a gimmick tool, this the real deal when it comes to splitting logs large and small. The Smart-Splitter is lightweight and so quick and easy to use no wonder it’s one of the leading brands in Europe.

The Smart-Splitter can be used in the garden, in a shed or even inside the house and integral ‘splinting wedge’ is perfect for making kindling. Unlike electric or petrol powered splitters, it has the added benefit of no environmental impact when in use.

The Smart-Splitter is so easy to set up and use:-

• Get a base log, using the 20mm drill bit supplied, drill a hole of at least 12cm deep and 8cm from the edge of your base log
• Place the guide rod securely into the hole, then place over the guide rod the 1 metal washer, the rubber washer and then the other metal washer. Tighten the bolt so that the guide rod is tight
• Lift the handle of the Smart-Splitter’s cutting wedge and place your log into position under the cutting wedge
• Lift the striking weight with both hands and drop it slightly onto the splitting wedge so that the wedge is slightly embedded into the log
• Lift the striking weight to the top of the striking rod. With both hands, throw the striking weight down towards the log, making sure you let go of the striking weight before it hits the log. Repeat this until the log has split
• If you wish to cut kindling then place your wood / split logs under the splinting edge and again with both hands firmly on the striking weight thrown down the weight, ensuring you have let go of the weight before it hits the wedge

Buy in conjuction with the Smart-Holder and get £10 discount.

The Green Reaper also offers a range of hydraulic log splitters, horizontal log splitters and vertical log splitters.
