Bit of a delay but.... There were no brushcutters/ strimmers/ weed eaters at the time and cutting a 30 inch swathe through thick undergrowth at a good walking pace they are MUCH quicker and less wearing than a brushcutter . I use a modern version each autumn but the Honda engine lacks the low down torque of the Villiers. The many safety cutouts make it marginally safer though. The build quality of the Allen is great though
