    I already go to Thornton Mowers.
    I gave you that tip 6 months ago when you were looking at buying a multi-tool.

    Re: How to get clutch off.

    Buy a decent set of allen key sockets. Put the allen key socket in the bolt and give it a bit of a hit with a hammer. Attach your ratchet to the socket and hopefully undo the bolt.

    Re: hedger or multi tool

    I would recommend the multi tool. I have a Stihl combi but I wish I bought Shindaiwa. Go and see Steve and Tracey at Thornton mowers they will look after you.

    Re: non spill spout

    I bought mine off Dean. My containers are the plastic type that the spouts went back inside the container. Saves time every time you refuel not having to attatch the spout and no more spilage.
