Thanks very much, just sent to a friend up north and he's managed to get Free Delivery (maybe depends how inactive your account is?) - when I sign in it says £3.95 delivery at each time slot - not that I'm complaining. Still a great Deal! :face_with_monocle: :lipstick:

Review on Amazon amazon.co.uk/Ryo…NBA is a bit middling, though (I cut it up - ha - into more easily-readable paragraphs):
I
had a black and decker cordless strimmer but got really fed up of the
battery running out when I needed to use it and the heavy weight. This
wee thing is very light with no heavy battery to lug about. It is pretty
powerful too, chops through the long grass, new shoots of brambles and
the wide range of weeds that my garden has to offer without too much
bother.
The speed slows when it is tackling something particularly tough
but it gets there in the end. Fortunately, it is not powerful enough to
rip through tree bark or the thin rubber on the toes of my tennis
shoes, despite my best efforts.
I do have a few issues with it though. The bump feed takes a bit of getting used to - I keep having to check
which slows things up - if there is a technique to this then I have not
discovered it yet. The electric cable is in no way long enough even for
my little garden - I have to use it with and extension.
The cutting line
that was supplied with the strimmer was pure rubbish, It continually
broke right down flush with the hub, meaning that I had to take the
spool out and poke the line through again - a horribly fiddly job. This
would happen after just a few minutes strimming meaning I was spending
more time sorting the line than strimming.
I was ready to chuck the
whole thing in bin but the problem was solved when I changed the cable
on the spool for the much stronger cable from my black and decker - It
worked really well after this.
The Instructions which come with this are
very basic and not very helpful. I did contact the manufacturer for
help but received no reply.
Anyway - the problem is solved now although I
do wish it had been sold with a cutting line fit for purpose, it would
have saved me a lot of stress and swearing.

I've never had a bump feed that worked. Spend two minutes strimming and then ten minutes taking the head apart to pull out more line, and then reassembling it.

Auto line feed is the answer!

Light and powerful but the cable is not long enough and the cutting line is rubbish
