Many starting problems, poor performance issues, and costly repairs can be traced back to the petrol used in small engines. Therefore, understanding the difference between E5 fuel, E10 fuel, and long-life fuel can make a significant difference to your garden machinery’s reliability, [...]

  When it comes to chainsaw performance, the chain itself plays a far bigger role than many users realise.

However, over autumn and winter, even the most cared-for patios tend to collect moss, algae, and grime.

Leaves fall, lawns soften and hedges get their final tidy, so having the right attachments can help you save time and effort while keeping your outdoor space presentable.
