FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Should I choose petrol, electric or battery?
Petrol offers power and run time for large plots, corded electric suits small areas, and battery favours comfort and quiet running. Choose according to the area and how often you use it.
How do I keep these tools in good shape over time?
Clean after every use, sharpen the cutting parts, check filters and spark plugs, and replace wear parts rather than the whole machine.
