In the jungle Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 This is the reason why I only use cutters with nylon cord. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LennyW Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 Nothing wrong with these blades if used properly, might have helped if the operator was using proper wellington boots with shin protection. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many Operators of these Bush Whackers wear a Heavy Leather Apron that reaches to the Ground. Stops any Stones, Broken Bottles Etc causing any injury.

gunderhill Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 Surprised those that do the central reservations on main roads live long anyway, if the cutter doesn't get them the vehicles will. Anytime I see them I give them a wide berth for what they may hurl in my direction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
