Good bit of kit.

It's not mate, all of our tanaka strimmers passed. Can use them upwards of 8 hours per day, whereas most of the stihl ones could only be used for between 1 and 5 hours. Obviously they don't all give the same reading

Yes it stands for Hand Arm Vibration.

It was all done internally, and at first we thought the guy doing the HAVS testing was doing something wrong, but it was the equipment. You could feel it, fingers would tingle for ages afterwards

Went for a look local, and got some prices jotted down. Will do a bit of a comparison on UK prices, would normally be cheaper than here so as long as I can sort out delivery... Get the keys to the new place in a week, so gonna need it soon. Been up there with me strimmer just to level the nettles. Oh and found a nesting duck!
