Crazy Gun Barney, SASS #2428 Posted July 11, 2020 Share Posted July 11, 2020 Hey Alpo, last week you asked about electric hedge trimmers from the 40’s or 50’s. Somebody mentioned drill powered hedge trimmers. I was digging thru my storage and ran across one I found in my great aunt’s garage after she passed. All original box, instructions and mail in warranty card is still in the box too, but I didn’t see a date on anything. But, it still works, the blades move smooth when the shaft is rotated. My great uncle knew how to take care of his tools. Here are some pics. Kind of a cool old tool! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only if you read the directions / box! If you go by the picture (most people), it's BACKWARDS! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alpo Posted July 11, 2020 Share Posted July 11, 2020 Might as well throw it away. The guarantee is expired. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noz Posted July 12, 2020 Share Posted July 12, 2020 If ever a machine had a voice that one does. Just looking at the picture you can hear it whisper, "Fingers, I need more fingers". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
