hi and welcome to my auction for a mountfield petrol two stroke strimmer (MB4402) its a big powerful unit , I think the 44 refers to its cylinder capacity - making it nearly twice as powerful as most domestic petrol strimmers - that means as a plus it doesnt have to work very hard to deal with weeds but on the downside that makes it a bit heavier than the little 25cc strimmers. A harness is included but there is no safety gaurd , or anything other than what is shown in the photographs also to be noted is that the "dead man" switch on the control handle is also missing (doesnt stop you using it though) It can use upto 3mm strimmer cord - so i wouldnt use it in your flip flops !
