Cheers
edbeek for the tip on the guards. Well I ended up back at the dealer today - figured I can’t handle the rest of this week with my old Core Gasless line trimmer which only has 3x 6Ah batteries! So I picked up a new line trimmer while my other one is waiting for a look on the workbench, asked about the guards and he gave me a couple to try.

I fitted the middle one (“L” shaped guard) because I figured it would give best view of the line, didn’t get to use it all that much and will keep using it this week but so far the guard seems 10x better!! The line is *heaps* longer with this guard as it’s simply bigger, th cutter is much further back from the head. Took me a bit to get used to but I really like the bigger cutting diameter! (Keeping in mind that I have used battery trimmers 99.9% of the time i’ve been in business...) I reckon you guys that are used to petrol gear would feel more at home! I still had the 2mm line in the head and as mentioned the motor does notice the extra line length, but I was still using Eco mode fine, it’s a bit of a trade off because I find the faster tip speed (longer line = faster tip rotation) cuts heaps better than having a bigger motor etc., but it will likely chew a bit more battery.
Will take some more pics tomorrow!
Kind of wish I never saw you guys invoices, paid $480 for the trimmer today. Haha. I guess that’s what you get buying one-off skin only. I asked about the Bli300 (9Ah) battery, they didn’t even know about it yet. Since it’s a special order they can’t do better than the $499 retail... 🙁
Wonder if your local dealerships would do the good price for me and freight it to Bris... 🤔
