| We run two Husqvarna strimmers and a Stihl. The Stihl (FS450) is alright for light grasses, but the Huskys will take better chord and therefore better for heavier material - rushes, docks, nettles, b ... |

Had them, hated them, got rid of them in favour of BFG Muds.

Sorry, I can't find much positive to say about them. :cry ... |

If you're confident that you know how to use a saw you can just book the NPTC assessment without the training.
