Whipper snipper?

[jenr]

Has anyone seen a whipper snipper that is sort of on little wheels but still has the nylon cord to do the cutting. Its hubbys birthday this weekend he has trouble with the normal ones that you have to carry because of his wrist.
I am sure I saw them advertised on tv or is it my imagination?

Umm, not sure Jen but could be imagination LMAO

Go to Bunnings or Mitre 10 and have a look, I do have an image in my head but whether it is the same as yours?

[Patricia]

Can't say i have ever heard of those Jen but they sound like a good idea..let me know if you find one please :yes:

[July]

Have you tried googling for them Jen?

[jenr]

Yeh I googled couldnt find anything. I am sure I saw them advertised on tv it got my attention it was getting pushed along and trimming the edges like a whipper snipper?
I will pop over to Bunnings and see if they have something like it?

[jenr]

Thanks Naomi I dont think it was that big? I am sure I wasnt imagining it ( maybe I was :brow:)

[Mad Old Cow]

Now Jen, are you sure you are sure LMAO

I saw an electric one advertised on TV once....possibly a Stihl one but don't quote me on that. It looked really easy but didn't think anything of it at the time since we already have two whipper snippers (one is for spare parts apparently as it doesn't work :blink:) and couldn't see the sense in getting another. I can't remember if it had a wheel though....or whether it was just a guard thingie that you lined up with the guttering and just glided it along. :dk:

Actually come to think of it, I don't think it's anything like what you are after at all LMAO

[jenr]

Yeh thanks StormLMAO
Well I have asked around it must have been my imagination they all looked at me like I had 2 heads!!
I think I may invent one:hehe: I will just get him one of those electric ones at least they are lighter.
Thanks anyway ladies!:waves:

Jen, you weren't dreaming. I knew what you were talking about and DH has confirmed they exist they are called Atom edgers. They are either electic or petrol powered.

http://www.cairnsmowercity.com/prod240.htm - here is a picture of one. DH also thought you should go to a mower shop rather than bunnings. I saw some on ebay too.

Good luck!

[Mad Old Cow]

Oh well there ya go Jen, think you better say thankyou to susiq, after all a few of us were strating to worry about you LMAO

[jenr]

Hah Thank You Susiq!!!!:waves:
And thanks to hubby for the tip!
I will look into it now I know that they exist if to expensive I will get him a cheaper one for the time being!

Good girl Susiq.....I found the Atom site this afternoon....then had to go down to the school for a meeting....so never got round to posting....had a look at the site, they are the ones I found.

[susiq]

No worries Jen. I think I saw them on Better Homes and Gardens and thought what a great idea!
