looking for a petrol strimmer, largish garden, plenty of nettles/weeds so not just for grass. any pointers to look for, brands etc budget is ideally around 200 but could stretch. cheers

You might get a stihl one for that price. Everything has gone up, been using a FS38 for years and tis been a mighty yoke

In a similar situation to yourself looking at a husqvarna at the moment. I want to buy second hand but don’t know enough.

thanks everyone, ended up getting a Titan from screwfix. it's doing the jobs we wanted. cost around 160. couldn't justify spending more than double that on.
prices have gone nuts lately
