I have my new whipper snipper & have put it together after a few false starts - my fault, I always misread instructions 😬.

. This is a new & improved version & I found it a little tricky to assemble, but it’s done now & there’s even a little blade storage area in the adjustable handle which will be handy as they’re usually in my pocket. Gave myself a lovely bruise on my little finger when it got in the way of something I was doing in the process . Just waiting for the new battery to charge & then I’ll give it a whirl. I have quite a few of these batteries now. -

I think it's a name that might be derived from 'grass trimmer'.

Actually grass trimmer is what was written on the box, but I’ve always called them whipper snippers. -

@smitjo @feather1952 how potentially confusing if a younger peep were to use a grass trimmer, coz then you'd have the complicated case of a whipper snapper whipper snipper. 🤪 -

@msdropbear @feather1952 And there'd be a clash if you wanted to borrow Joe Strummer's Strimmer. 🤪

@smitjo @feather1952 I think Whipper Snipper was the first brand available here.
