Debian Posted September 24, 2020 Share Posted September 24, 2020 Because of the boring nature of my request, I thought I would ask the TAMB. There must be some one here who can tell me what this is called and where I can find it? I purchased a new strimmer that doesn't require spool but uses a blade. Following? I obviously want spares for the future, but the seller on Amazon (who to be fair has given me a refund over this) can't tell me the Blade type/where to purchase. Can any one help? Nb; This is a promotional picture, and not my hands. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orraloon Posted September 24, 2020 Share Posted September 24, 2020 The silver bit is called a screw. The orange bit is the strimmer blade, but you knew that already. I often say to folk that there is no such thing as a daft question but sometimes I am proved wrong. Check out the manufacturer's website. They will be more expensive so you could try ebay. Or, just make your own out of a bit of plastic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dandydunn Posted September 24, 2020 Share Posted September 24, 2020 What’s the brand of the strimmer? Do you know anyone with a 3D printer, they would be easy enough to make yourself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never thought of the 3d printer route Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe take a lawnmower, shovel and decent back too 👍🏽 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eisegerwind Posted September 26, 2020 Share Posted September 26, 2020 TBH. I think the OP has bought a working device but as neglected to appreciate the ongoing viability of the product. A line type product, not without it's problems, is usually the best option. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clocks have changed, grass stops growing. This’ll be forgotten about until March/April and the op will crack up again and get his heed nipped from the wife for buying shit products off Amazon.
