Yes we have one of those. I prefer to go around the edge of the grass with the hand ones though. something satisfying about giving yourself shoulders like Arnie as you annoy neighbours with the continuous squeak.. :D

I wondered what you meant bye “strimmer” – and then it I quickly figured out what you were talking about – edge trimmer! Yes – I had pretty much the same experience as you when faced with this task for the first time – mine is a bright orange Flymo version with auto-adjusting string thingy. One thing I remember most was the sheer pain I had across the whole length of my arm for days afterwards – which I can only put down to being caused by the reverb of low-frequency vibrations – a temporary RSI pain caused by over-indulgent gripping of the machine as I concentrated real hard on swinging the right arc as close as possible to the edge and the fence. Trust me though – it’ll become real quick and easy over time.

This is a man’s toy …. one that you need to watch being used for a long time before becoming proficcient -(profficient? profificient? urm..)
