As a labour-saving
time-efficient garden appliance the leaf sucker/shredder falls a bit short –
the receptacle for the shredded leaves is fiddly to fit, even harder to take
off, awkward to empty once full, and counter-intuitively, the shredding of the
leaves seems to increase rather than reduce the original volume; to make
matters worse today the failsafe safety mechanism (a bit of plastic on said
receptacle that bridges a gap between the on/off trigger and the motor) got out
of alignment (rendering the equipment perfectly safe by preventing the motor
working at all), which required some jiggery-pokery with a screwdriver to sort
out, the sucker coming back to life just as I was about to consign it to the scrapheap
and instead fetch the rake and grabbers.
