Prefer NOT To Cut Through Your Hedge Trimmer Lead?

Cable-Protecta is specifically designed to protect the most vulnerable first 8 feet of cable as it hangs from the trimmer, dangerously close to the blade. It is constructed from a material designed to be flexible and lightweight but also strong, and is fastened securely to the cable so that it stays firmly in place. Cable-Protecta’s main design feature is that it's deliberately made over an inch in diameter making it physically too big to fit between the teeth of the hedge trimmer. It's like trying to cut through an extra thick branch, no matter how you try you just can’t do it.

Most of us have either cut through the lead or know somebody else who has done exactly that. I've certainly managed it in the past but, luckily, I'm still around to tell the tale. A friend of mine was seriously injured when he cut through the cable as a result of the shock he received.


Are You Relying On A Circuit-Breaker?

 

Whilst we always advocate the use of a circuit-breaker device in conjunction with Cable-Protecta, we read a very sad story of a man who was found slumped in his garden with his hedge trimmer still in his grasp. The cable was completely severed but the circuit breaker had failed to work! Although it's not pleasant reading, you can see the full story here

Whilst it's a very sad story, it demonstrates the very serious consequences of exactly what can happen. It certainly doesn't give me absolute faith in circuit-breakers, thinking I can do anything I like because I'm using one. How long, exactly, do they last anyway? When did you last test yours?


3000 Accidents A Year Involving Hedge Trimmers!


According to statistics from RoSPA, there are approximately 3000 accidents a year in the UK involving hedge trimmers. Government figures say that there has been a 50% increase in hedge trimmer accidents over the last 5 years, which is further proof that you need to take as many precautions as possible when using a hedge trimmer. Easily fitted, Cable-Protecta is a significant aid to safety when using an electric hedge trimmer. Even if it only saves you the inconvenience and cost of replacing the cable if you cut through it, it will be more than worth it (replacing the cable is the only safe way to do it, as opposed to repairing it). Your life is in your hands!

Cable-Protecta comes with a money-back guarantee if for any reason you don’t think it will play a big part in your safety. Just return it in any condition and we’ll refund your money, no questions asked.
