While I'm usually quite happy with the Lidl/Parkside stuff, this #Parkside PRTA 20-Li C3 strimmer was disappointing.

It worked well enough, but once the spool casing was inevitably worn out, I discovered to my great surprise that it wasn't replaceable! Crime!

I removed the motor, welded on a stopper nut, then a threaded M5 bolt to attach a regular gardening shop spool casing with the plastic stem sawn off. Easy to replace now, but why the bad original design?
