    +1 please don't let your daughter use it and be wary of her being near your when you are using it. They can flick a stone up at a million miles an hour.

    Good to hear. For safety reasons make sure you take battery off if she is going to hold it, even for a second.

    All my tools are so dusty the batteries are really hard to get on and off now. I've always wondered why this wasn't an area of innovation for them. A new type of mechanism to make it easier would be really compelling I think.

    I don't own enough tools to really know...

    Re the 3 items I bought.

    The grass cutter is very good. This grass it's cutting is thick ass layer over layer so it takes a few times to cut but it's doing a good job. I tried it at my dads garden where the grass is normal and it cuts like butter.

    The hand held shearer is really good for the hedges and small branches. Cuts well and easy enough.

    And the blower is just so much dam fun! :D

    I'm thinking not to do too much more cutting and causing noise...still need strata (the other 3 appartments) to approve my garden plans lol

    Leaf blowers are addictive. I can just walk around all day cleaning up leaves.

    Don't feel bad about that.

    A friend has a pressure washer. Got a call to go round to fix it as it didn't work well.

    So I do.

    Show me. Yes, the pressure was very poor. Watched for a little while then plugged the electric cord into the power and switched it on.

    No need to say what response I received as I'm sure you can guess.
