    Good Points: Cuts well but that is what it is supposed to do after all


    Bad Points: Electrically dangerous - reasons given below


    General comments: I did the dreaded thing about two years ago by cutting through the cable. The provided 13-amp 'protection' failed and left a potentially lethal situation. I took up the matter with Qualcast who fobbed me off about their choice of a 13-amp fuse within the plug. Because the device has a 380-watt consumption, my basic knowledge of matters electrical induced me to replace Qualcast's 13-amp fuse with a 3-amp fuse and all went well. A few days ago I was careless enough to sever the cable again, but this time with no potentially disastrous results because the 3-amp fuse did its job, thereby isolating the mains supply and all mortals present from imminent danger. What are these stupid buggers playing at? A hedgetrimmer at best is a dangerous appliance and providing the incorrect fuse rating makes it ten times so.
