Top brand: Mountfield chainsaw
This has a 38.3 cc engine engineered to be easy to start with a primer pump and very fuel efficient, and has a 40 cm guide bar, big enough to fell small trees and prune branches.
And at this time of the year it is especially useful for sawing up logs for the fire.
A dual chain brake enhances the machines safety and there is a chain catcher should the chain become derailed.
It is comparatively light for the power produced with comfortable handles.
For such a premium machine the cost is amazing, just £129 compared with the recommended price £219.
When you buy this saw there are a number of special offers on handy extras like a combined helmet, visor and muffs for just £19.95.
It is delivered free the next working day and there is a one year maker’s warranty.
Blown away: Einhell blower vac
And that’s where the Einhell BG-PL 26/1 Petrol Garden Vacuum / Leaf Blower
Comes into its own.
This German engineered machine allows you to switch from blowing to vac mode simply by flicking a switch, unusual on a machine at this price.
It has a fan which shreds the debris collected to one tenth the original volume.
The shredded material is then blown into a 55 litres collection bag.
A clever device will separate harder material like fir comes so it will not damage the shredding mechanism.
Currently this machine has a free wheel kit to help better clearing on paths and drives and there is also a free fuel oil mixing bottle and free engine oil.
There is a two year manufacturer’s guarantee and delivery is free the next working day.
It costs £139.95 compared with the maker’s recommended price of £219.95.
Dig this: MD Micro Tiller
To ease the strain and save an aching back MD Micro Tiller is a great little machine easy to use thanks to the chopper style handlebars.
This tiller will dig down to 20 cm and is strong enough to turn over compacted soils and clay.
It is just the right size for tilling between the rows and keep them weed free when the growing season starts.
The engine has a capacity of 42.7 cc and there is a large feul tank to keep you working.
This great value for money machine would make a welcome gift for any keen gardener and costs just £149.95, a saving of £100 on the maker’s recommended price.
Free next working day delivery and a two year manufacturer’s warranty are included.
