Flowtron Electric Leaf Shredder

flowtron-electric-leaf-shredder.jpgIf you are looking for a small, compact and potable leaf shredder then look no further than the Flowtron Electric Leaf Shredder. Forget buying a leaf vac – just get one of these and do 2 jobs at the same time!

Designed to be a lightweight leaf shredder and mulching unit for the home gardener, the Flowtron has a 5 amp motor which is perfect for shredding small amounts leaves and grasses. This type of shredder will not handle sticks and small branches.

The Flowtron has different settings that allow you to produce smaller, finer or larger and more coarse shreddings depending on what you want to use it for afterwards. Smaller shreddings are perfect for putting down as a mulch layer on your plants and beds where as the larger setting will allow you to make a more decorative amount of chippings.

See the Flowtron in action:

The unit is also designed to either work at a 45 degree angle or be placed on top of a trash can or waste bin to allow the output to be placed into a bag for future use. A bag can be attached to the bottom of the unit by using the supplied bungee cord.

The Flowtron Electric Leaf shredder has a small 8hp motor that powers the double cutting lines – both of which can be removed for easy cleaning or replacement in the future. The cutting lines are made from normal strimmer string or wire and can be replaced very easily and with no fuss.

If you are looking for a cheap, affordable, portable and efficient shredder and mulcher, get the Flowtron!

Craftsman Wood Chipper Parts

Sometimes things break. Your chipper blades get dull, the motor wears out or something snaps off inside the mechanism. It happens to us all.

There are places like hardware stores or shops where you can take your chipper to be mended and I guess the best way to get it sorted out if it does break would be to take it back to where you got it from and get it repaired under warranty or guarantee.

If the craftsman chipper shredder is out of warranty already then you will need to source some spares for it. Getting hold of new blades is fairly easy and they are easy to fit but possibly anything more than that will require you to find a local engineer or electrical specialist.

I advise taking out some sort of extended warranty on the shredder device so that you have the peace of mind when using it that if it does fail or go wrong, you have some support from the manufacturer or seller.
