Hi all,
Have a bad shoulder that comes and goes and have to buy a whipper snipper to keep the edges under control.
The yard is approximately 800m2.
The Fun Minister being a farmers daughter from Vic recommends petrol.
What do you guys please recommend?
-
Honda.
Cheers
Jim

If it was me i would go a battery one. I have a Makita 4 stroke one and a 18v battery one the petrol one just gathers dust now

I bought an Ozito Bunnings cheapie about 6 months ago. I'm impressed at it's cutting ability. The head spins a lot faster than the 2 stroke one I persevered with for years and is now waiting for my next trip to the dump. I favoured the Ozito because I already batteries, it uses 2 x 18V batteries.
No more mixing fuel, no more fouling spark plugs, no more swearing at it.

I bought my wife a :icon_thumleft:Milwaukee 18 volt for Christmas. She loves it, I have not had to do the edges since.
Light, quiet, no smell, always starts. Bloody ripper

Go Battery
I had my makita dual battery combo kit blower and whipper snipper for 8+ years now
Still going strong. Plenty of power and very quite.
Can use them at night it no one will notice
Compared to my neighbours 2 and 4 stroke that annoy me on early mornings
Every year during hard rubbish collection days i see dozens of Ozito tools thrown out. Havnt seen any other brand thrown out like that.
One neighbour had ozito whipper snipper blown out within 1 year, he managed to get replacement.
I think ryobi is bit better than ozito
-
STIHL is still the best- petrol or battery.
-
I use a Bush Ranger whipper $300 plenty of power and if you get the straight shaft (giggity) you can also attach the included steel blade brush cutter attachment! The things a weapon...

I've got 1 of their chainsaws, brilliant :cup: I call it my "national park " saw :angel13:
-
I got a mower man. No fuel. No flat battery and it still cuts when I'm away.
The Victa mower and Echo whipper just gather dust now. :hello2:

Had a McCulloch petrol for 32 years but couldnt get another when it carked it, so I got a Cub Cadet petrol and its going great. (4 yrs so far)

Thanks Guys.
Appears the only difference would be the battery powered are not as noisy.
But which type is best for a sore back shoulder?
-
I don't think there is much difference in weight but if you use a sholder strap to suport the weight you can tuck it in a bit closer as there is no hot motor to worry about.
-
Thanks for the tip.
Mower world i Darwin sells them, I'll go to harass them for an electric one with a shoulder strap.
-
Total tools also sells them.
-
I'll visit next Saturday.
The owner at Mower world knows his trade, I'll harass both :evil6:

Used the young fellas Makita one yesterday, which was single line... not the best. The battery power was ok, but you want a 6AH battery to keep it strong, and want a dual line one.
-
You get what you pay for - mines 56v and battery is 2.5 amps dose all my yard (40 min.) and has some charge left.

The one that someone else is using to do your edges.
