50:1 fuelled petrol strimmer
I have other tools that use 50:1 and don't want different fuel cans / mixes.
anyone know of any petrol strimmers that use this ratio?
thanks
Jon

There's nothing particularly magic about any particular ratio, the
variations between 20:1 and 50:1 just reflect differences in the
quality of the recommended 2-stroke oil and, maybe, some differences
in the motors. Just decide on a compromise ratio (say 25:1) and use
that for all your 2-strokes, they'll be fine.

I have had one of their cheaper strimmers for years, it's done sterling
service and I would buy another if I ever need to.

Most modern ones - *if* you use high quality oil designed for 50:1.
