tle, safety glasses and ear protectors , tool kit and funnel, together with user manual. First impression was a smart looking piece of kit but I have to say it was a bit of a shock to feel the weight as my entire previous experience of a hedge trimmer has been a corded Black and Decker which I had for about 24 years but had just about reached the end of its useful life. Read through the instructions a couple of times ( still a bit confused er the choke positioning) , mixed and loaded fuel ( about a pint) and had a go at my first ever petrol engined trimmer. It fired on about the 3rd pull , started and after a few minutes warm up tried the throttle- wow this is a bit of a beast! Had a try at trimming a small bush , which went well , but a bit late in the day so switched off and left it till following day. Went the whole hog following day- side hedge, and 7 bushes of various sizes and species. Did it in several goes primarily not being used to the weight and power but finished result better than any of my previous trimming and overall was still faster than my old trimmer. Overall very pleased. Looks good and gives a good clean cut . Has plenty of power and in spite of it being quite heavy seems well balanced. So far has started well. If I have one niggle it's the ignition switch which seems very sensitive and I managed to inadvertently switch it off ( catching it with my glove) a couple of times but this may well be my inexperience. Seems good value and if it lasts as long as my previous electric one I will be well pleased. Mind you as I am over 70 it will probably outlast me!

Really lovely looking patio heater. Some reviews say it’s difficult to put together and has sharp edges. I disagree. If you take your time. Watch the video (I kept starting and stopping it at every stage) and refer to the instruction book if unsure and between them, you can’t go wrong. We found it extremely well made with no sharp edges. Took us a couple of hours but we were in no rush. Longest time was taking all of the blue protective plastic off.Couple of tips:Make sure you put the middle tray (that holds the ignition unit) on with the magnets facing the front (so opposite side to the wheels) this will give you access to the controls once it is built. If you put it on the wrong way, you will have to dismantle everything again to change it roundWhen you insert the glass tubes, the clips at the top go outside of the glass.An electric screwdriver will save time if you have one and a wide flat head screwdriver was useful for a few stubborn screwsNever move the heater when it is hot - the movement will cause the hot glass tube to shatter (tip from my gas bottle supplier who also sells these heaters)All in all a lovely addition to the garden and looks stunning especially at night.
