Thank you so much. I live in North Borneo and have been looking to put a hedge cutter to put on my stihl Fr3001 brush cutter. All the information I need is in your video... Thanks a million again
Yeah Calvin loved watching this video.. I have got an electric hedge trimmer and a spare petrol strimmer .. I need a petrol hedge cutter .. Will have a go tomorrow .. just gave me an idea, thank you .. this video has helped me. Cheers
This video is very handy, for the likes of me.. As i do have a strimmer and the head for hedge trimmers. But the 2 bars, in inside the shafts are different. So i like to know, how to fit the bar in the hedge trimmer into the shaft of the strimmer head. I would appreate your help.
Hi I have a ryobi hedge cutter attachment for a multi tool strimmer but on the hedge cutter attachment the push in lock pin / snap button is missing wondering where I could get one
Biggest problem I had with fitting my chinese attachments to the husky 525lk engine unit I bought was the drive shaft ends, 525 has a male end, the chinese attachments needed a female end on the engine unit. Buying long reach husky hedge and pole saw attachments really sodding stung ;) Glad I did though world of difference in performance. Your vid as given me an idea though, will see if I can take the attachment collar off the engine unit pole, and just attach the heads for a sort reach hedge and pole saw.
Hi davedavedave243. Thanks for the the comments. I was even thinking of cutting a drive shaft down and rewelding it with the right ends as long as you can keep it straight To make middle length hedge trimmer. Yes most Chinese stuff is crap but the one i got has been really good (strange) lol. All the best calvin
Hi Calvin. Are you on Face book? I bought what I thought was a kawasaki hedge trimmer at the start of lock down. The seller didn't mention that the gearbox housing was missing. Trued it out a couple of weeks ago and only one blade was moving. Been told that it's a strimmer with aftermarket head. Can't source gearbox or trimmer attachment. Housing for attachment is 25mm, and the metal rod is 7mm with 7 splines. I'm based in South Wales. A seller in Germany on eBay has one but says my pole diameter needs to be 26mm. Mine is 22mm.
Hi owen. Thanks for the comments. Yes ebay. There are usually a few like this on there. Just check the tube size and type of drive shaft splines off the photos. Cheers, Calvin
Hi Clive. Thanks for the comments. I've never seen any thin spacers for sale the only spacers I've seen are usually in strimmer head gearbox's but they are really tight I've tried getting them out but I give up and make new ones. I will look into it further to see if I can buy some. Cheers Calvin
I found an 60.00 one on ebay for my redmax. It has to say 7spline. I bought a 9 spline and it didn't fit the redmax pole. It was a cheap Chinese one but it does the job. I do have other redmax trimmers, so it's not my main trimmer.
Hi hard worker. Thanks for the comment. No sorry i don't think you can turn a bent shaft strimmer into a hedge trimmer. I think the tube would be to narrow and the spline on the drive shaft would be different. I've never tried sorry so I couldn't be 100% positive. All the best calvin

My husqvarna strimmer has a square head splind, what brand of hedge trimmer fits on this straight shaft?

Nice job , do you know where I could pick up a replacement trimmer attachment, gearbox is gone in mine
Hi owen. Thanks for the comments. Yes ebay. There are usually a few like this on there. Just check the tube size and type of drive shaft splines off the photos. Cheers, Calvin
I thought you could by thin metal tubes for when it doesn't quite fit?
Hi Clive. Thanks for the comments. I've never seen any thin spacers for sale the only spacers I've seen are usually in strimmer head gearbox's but they are really tight I've tried getting them out but I give up and make new ones. I will look into it further to see if I can buy some. Cheers Calvin
Nice work Calvin.
Many thanks Scott. Cheers Calvin
Very good. Thanks, Calvin.

Which hedge trimmer were you able to find? I’m looking for a square spline to fit my Husky
I found an 60.00 one on ebay for my redmax. It has to say 7spline. I bought a 9 spline and it didn't fit the redmax pole. It was a cheap Chinese one but it does the job. I do have other redmax trimmers, so it's not my main trimmer.
Well done Calv Brillian tutorial Where are you from lovely accent
awesome thanks
The Turing part of my hedge trimmer got stuck do you guys know how I can fix that?
Can you turn a bent shaft strimmer in to a hedge trimmer.
Hi hard worker. Thanks for the comment. No sorry i don't think you can turn a bent shaft strimmer into a hedge trimmer. I think the tube would be to narrow and the spline on the drive shaft would be different. I've never tried sorry so I couldn't be 100% positive. All the best calvin
Bent shaft strimmers use a wire to turn the head and it would be awkward to use
The attachment is like my Titan 5 in 1 I have
Hi Donkey Work. This has been a good hedge trimmer attachment. I've heard a lot of people run titan attachments on stihl combi's. Cheers Calvin
