TITCH 84 #1 Posted January 20, 2014 Can be dangerous machines if not used with caution, effective too! Another of those little projects that don't seem to get done, but I've promised myself that this year I'll get through a few of them .... I hope...

TITCH 84 #3 Posted January 21, 2014 Ha! Not quite as big & powerful, built as the killer of weeds. Mind you, I know someone that did accidentally set fire & destroyed a good wooden shed. Common sense was lacking there, nowadays we use petrol strimmers around the base of a building! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ian 2,417 #4 Posted January 21, 2014 I have vauge memories of my dad using one of those weed flame throwers many years ago when I was a lot shorter.. If he did set fire to anything he shouldn't have, he never mentioned it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
