Review for Flymo Garden Vac 2500 Turbo:
Fine in a Limited Way
I bought this to replace a Ryobi vacuum that frankly was not worth the fuel used to bring back from the shop I bought it. This has had good reviews eleswhere, has a reasonably powerful motor and the picture on the full description indicated that a small woman would have no issue with it. Which is an issue because this was requested by my wife. Now that I've had it for a while I can say that it appears to be well made and does suck up leaves and debris. There's a bit of a"but" coming now - they aren't actually that much use. I have a property that is surrounded by trees hence my need for a means to remove leaves. Unfortunately garden vacuums all seem to struggle with wet leaves - and the UK in autumn is not going to be dry and of course it all goes pear shaped if you try and use a vac between bushes on soft ground. As for the drive; well it's still quicker to get a stiff broom and a rake and just pile the leaves up and deal with manually rather than vacuum it. I will however say in some defence, that when the leaves are dry and easy to access, it does shred them nicely and can suck up quite a quantity before the bag has to be emptied. Which is unfortunate for my small wife of course. Overall this is the kind of product most useful for small patio's, drives and decking. Anything big will become a chore bigger than using a brush.4

Review for Spray Paint - Smooth Signal Black:
I only ended up using one case for the whole inside and theres a bit left over. The paint dries very fast and was easy to spray on. This isnt the darkest black there is but it's good none the less. Very pleased. :)

Review for UniRoss Universal 320 Charger:
(AAA, AA, C and D) with large capacity. My trusty old intelligent
charger takes 2 days to do the C size ones. This UniRoss 320 is not
an intelligent charger,it appears to be timed - you select the time with
a switch depending on a table provided. After a couple of uses it
did not seam to charge the batteries completely so I measured the
charge current with a digital meter. It was much lower than stated in
the specifications. Therefore - it does not do what it is supposed to
do and charge batteries in 8 hours (for 2500 Ah - C size), but would
require 32 hours. My batteries are even higher capacity so it would
take longer and multiple attempts with the timer. Maybe I had a
faulty one ? I took it back as it was clearly not a fast charger and
does not charge any size of battery at the rate specified.
Has anyone else found this - you would probably have to check the
charge current with a digital meter to check this
So not impressed - bought the energizer one instead.

Review for LEATHERMAN Micra Multi-Tool:
Quality and class
The most outstanding aspect of this little device is its overall build quality and feel. It has that satisfying 'click and snap' sound when opening and closing, and everything on it works extremely well. It is smaller than a modern folding car key, and it weighs only a little more. A lovely object.16

Review for Bosch AHS 41 Accu Cordless Hedgecutter with 2 Batteries:
I'm really pleased with their performance. They are lightweight and easy to use. A longer blade might be slightly better, but this cheaper shorter version still works fine, and its fairly easy to keep trimming level.
I was worried about whether lower powered cordless hedge trimmers could cut the thicker stems, but they've managed fine with my overgrown privet.
I would recommend this to any amateur gardener, particularly those who don't want a gym workout every time they trim the hedge.

Best buy
This is the best flask that i have bought, mainly because it is'nt as fragile, there being no glass inner to break. Also, it holds a decent amount of liquid and keeps it cold or hot for a decent amount of time.
