Not heard that it cuts the smoke, but it creates a more focused beam with less overspray.

I scrapped one of those last year as the clutch died during MOT. Indestructible engines.

A few days ago I collected some stuff I won at an auction (minus the pallet stacker).
'Contents of the paint store'
What a stupid decision
Been trying to sort paint out for days.
Got a nice Record 42" bolt cropper
Some of the steel plates (mostly 5 and 6 mm)
Some other bits of steel
One of the heaters I used tonight to try and speed up the door I painted with the auction paint.

Something I'd like to have, how much did you pay for it?

I paid £34.39 on amazon for it as used condition - like new. (There was only one at that price when I bought it) And it was like new. New they are around £40 -£45 depending where you look.

A new blade for the strimmer - lass in the local farmers supplies place recommended it and the vertical tips on the blades make it a game changer 
The horizontal blades cut as normal, the vertical tips then chop the cuttings into smaller bits so no need to rake them up
The bits I’ve done today would normally have taken me 3 days and not ended up as tidy
Edit: it also makes it super easy to clean an overgrown stone pathway, the plastic blade guard keeps it just above the ground and the blade tips take everything off cleanly. Nice

To my eye it appears decent. Testing the threads on a couple of items shows it works well.
The labeling is decent and clear. One complaint may be that the plastic case is a little flimsy but for me it will be adequate. If you planned on stashing this in a van etc then the case may get broken more easily.
