Cheap petrol strimmer/hedge trimmer

Was in FOCUS diy earlier today, they had a McCulloch petrol strimmer reduced to clear from £74.99 to £29.99.
They also had a McCulloch petrol hedge trimmer reduced from £80 to £30.
I also saw that they had cheap electric strimmers reduced from £10 to £5.

I was in Newport FOCUS.
Make me RICH!!!!!!

    Awesome, thanks for that, just called my local store and they're holding the last one back for me (Petrol hedge trimmer for £30, can't be bad!)

    Thanks for this

    Thanks so much for posting this, we have been after a petrol one for ages, but they are so expensive, just called local store - Kings Lynn and they are putting me one by.
    Always on the hunt for a bargain

    Just took a quick photo of the page containing those details.

    Click below to see it.

    Oil to Fuel Ratios

    Will only keep it there for a couple of days though :)

    Hope that helps

    I was in Newport FOCUS.

    Anyone got any model numbers for any of these items.

    My store had what I believe to be the only McCulloch Petrol Hedge Trimmer that Focus sell, the Virginia MH542P, reduced from £119.99 but only to £80.39

    They did check with other local(ish) stores without success.
    However they did find a petrol hedge trimmer at one of them for £29.99, but they said it was a Black&Decker reduced from £50
