Strimmers
My OH has an electric strimmer, but after a few failures he has decided to invest in a cordless version - any recommendations or suggestions appreciated.

It does the job very well, though I only have to do about 75ft each time I cut the grass.
I think I paid about £70 for it and it has been faultless, the strimmer line lasts for ages as it's auto-feed and doesn't keep snapping like on the cheaper, corded ones.
So I got a new one with a much better battery (and a shoulder strap). It's much lighter than OH's petrol one, which I just can't deal with. This battery has about 2 hours life and I know I can buy batteries separately.
My advice therefore is get the best battery you can afford - in my case the battery cost £50 - roughly the same as the trimmer itself.
