Studies report that burglary is one of the most emotionally impactful crimes to be a victim of. The prevention of being succumbed to it is always at the back of our minds – is anything on show? Are all the windows closed? Did you definitely lock…

Think this has been asked before looking for waterproof overtrousers with min rating of 15000 HH. Must have three quarter length leg zips with popper closure over the zips, not velcro. There are a few out there but once you start reading the reviews…

This mower is an absolute beast. Finished a huge job that would have taken 4-5hrs of Strimming in just over 1hr with the remote control slope mower. Not only did it take grass that hadn't been cut in 2 years, it took the slopes in its stride and…
"In my experience ivy does not go gently into the good night and doesn't like to just let go once it's dead. The adventitious roots tend to cling on for a long time and then it just looks brown and some of the leaves would fall off and make a mess.…"
"I would just bite the bullet and demolish and rebuild it properly im afraid, its probably just a single skin non frost brick and been built with no water protection on the rear and no weep holes.

"Is cutting the base away, and using glyphosate on the stumps an option? Just so that the ivy dies away and falls off the masonry without taking any mortar and brickwork with it."
"Firstly, as Adam has said, make sure you have in writing that you're not liable for any damage. Secondly, don't do it until at least August, it's probably full of nests and it's an offence under the wildlife and countryside act to damage or disturb…"

"Hi Peter, I have just swapped from HLA 85 (8 years old) which was on its last legs to the 86. It seems heavier, but maybe it's just me. I use AP300 in all my hedgetrimmers, one battery can last all day, for me, as apposed to petrol running…"

Stihl HLA 86
Opinions from users please, is the 3000spm an issue? Won't be using it on conifer. How unwieldy/heavy fully extended? What battery are you using and run time? We need the 3mt reach that is why interested in the 86, or any other suggestions. Thanks.
