I’m not 100% sure but I think Steve Spielberg did a film about this. I can’t remember the exact name but I think it was something like Shaving Ryan’s Privates ??
The trouble is with that thing is when you get it stuck halfway in with a hard one It gets stiffer And bends the wire when you try to get it out again
I’m not sure what you’re asking @Geordie .... is it that the long pink thing in the photo is old and doesn’t work very well, or that when you get it close to your neighbours bush you’re not entirely sure what to do with it? I think you need to clarify or I fear this whole thread might be misconstrued.....
Not sure what problem your having but am sure it happens to us all every once in a while. Just make sure you ask the man of the house permission before you trim the bush some men don’t like other men doing it for them if your lucky he might like to watch you do it tho.
Its in the bin been doing for years i used to through it over but releasing it could become a fire hazard. When i moved in my Bro felled eight beech trees and crown raise the rest thats that but they keep coming back.
