Cut through lawnmower cable

[Troll]

Buy a proper petrol mower

HTH

(seriously - keep doing this with the hedge trimmers - pretty easy job to open up the trimmer and re make the connection but depends on where the cable break is if it is still a usable length ohh err missus)

Buy a pair of these?

Lawnmower Cable Connector | eBay

Three-pin variant also available.

You can get a small (waterproof) connector at your local DIY store. Trim the wires either end of the break, connect it all up. Easy. Plugs just unplug all the time. But I go with Troll on this one. Get a petrol mower. You'll never regret it if your garden is of any size at all.

I got a petrol one, its hard work to get it going, but once it starts its very fast and finishes the job quick...
I tried to be environmentally friendly and got me a manual one, really loved the idea, even if it takes me longer, I thought its a good workout... but the manual mower lasted one for 2 usages then the blades were bent out of shape

I sliced through chain saw cable once when up a ladder trimming the bush. It went bang and I fell off the ladder. Then I tripped over the wire too. Health and safety disaster!

Bit of electrical tape and duct tape - good as new!

Nah, every time I tried to do gardering I got very bored...

Speaking of garden equipment... I tried to jet wash part of the patio yesterday, it used an awful lot of water, and took forever, I have the Kercher K2 ... just with the washer gun. Do I need to buy that round part to clean the stone patio? Would it waste a lot of water as well?

Take it to a local electrician and he'll repair it.
