Cut through lawnmower cable

[barrydidit]

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!

Is there any footage? I could do with cheering up this morning

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 have used a manual one for several years and it's great. But my garden is very small (<30m square). Due to the way it cuts, you don't have to collect and dispose of the trimmings.

The old man has bought a decent battery powered mower. He seems quite happy with it. Bloody expensive fix in your case so why not just go for wiring a waterproof cable connector as previously mentioned?

I have a manual one and a electric one. I tend to use the electricity one as I cut the grass infrequently.

Anyone saw my question re jetwash?? Kercher K2??

After much mincing around with a rubbish electric mower, I bought a petrol mower. That was OK for a while, but needed servicing reasonably frequently as it would just stop firing every 12 months or so. It used to take a couple of weeks to get it booked in for a service and cost almost the price of buying a new one each time (probably around £100).

In the end I gave up and bought one of these:

It's not cheap, but it starts every time, first time, is quiet, powerful and fast. What used to take about 45 mins with my old petrol mower now takes about 15. I honestly wouldn't consider using anything else now.

More expensive that a bit of 2/3 core flex cable though.
