I ended up chucking my last Ryobi strimmer away because I couldn't get spares for it - even from Ryobi - it's put me off the brand for life even though the equipment was very good. It wasn't a very old model, maybe 3-4 years.
I am looking for a tool hire company who hires out cross cut bench saws in the warrington area - any ideas who does these?
Also, are there any makes or models I should look out for or are they all pretty much the same?
