Was in Bunnings after a Chainsaw when I found these for $15 on clearance. Not for tradies but may be suitable for small properties.

XU1 stuff is crap but at this price, it's cheaper than Nerf swords.
I got an ux1 hedge trimmer on clearance for about $30 6 months ago. It's fine for small properties.
I've got 3 Lily pillies and a hedge that's about 6m long and it easily does the job on those.
I have a grass trimmer. But I call it a mower.
I bought an xu1 angle grinder in 2001 for $19. Use it all the time for cutting tin sheets and bathroom renos (tile cutting). It weighs heaps and gets burning hot.. But Still trucking almost 20 yrs later.
Didn't even think xu1 existed in 2001. Bunnings used to sell GMC back then.
Does anyone know if the line trimmer actually uses line or is it one of those clip on blade ones? I actually have the Ozito power exchange one and the blades are annoying me, they fly off while using them when it's only half worn and I can't find them in the grass. For 15 bucks I might prefer having line even if it means putting up with a cable
If the grass trimmer is like the el-cheapo one I bought from one of our Bunnings stores about 6-8 months ago (same brand - for the same price if not less), it just has two clip-on thin flimsy plastic blades which spin thanks to the centrifugal force of the motor. Very cheap and nasty.
Not really that interesting.
AEG > Ryobi > Ozito > XU1 are all just Bunnings house brands.
Yeah that's the same except the Ozito only allows for 1 clip on blade. Funnily enough I spoke to someone who tried both and said the one blade works better
XU1 is the new low low. Prevously it was Ozito. I don't know how they are making money out of this pricing.
