I have three strimmers. Two ordinary electrically powered and one with a two-stroke engine.

The first of the ordinary ones was forever breaking its plastic whip - or whatever they call it, and it was difficult to re-thread it. I gave up and bought a different one and encountered the same problem.
In desperation I bought the one with the internal combustion engine. It has the facility to use a plastic cord/whip or a proper cutting blade.

The handlebar is not adjustable and it's virtually impossible to comfortably and conveniently hold the thing at a required lateral angle.

The rotating assembly which holds either the cord or the blade broke.

I'm getting rather tired of this.

Does anyone know of a decently made strimmer with proper cutting blade (I'm no longer prepared to fight and fiddle with a plastic cord), and is battery operated?
