I am amused to see that the official website for McCullough tools does not mention garden chippers (the things to mince branches and cuttings once you have trimmed the hedge etc.) I bought one of these, an MS2500 model. It is total rubbish. The most dangerous way to waste half an hour in your garden you will ever find. It won't digest anything fatter than a matchstick, spits a good portion of it back out of the top to try and blind you, so you had better wear eye protection, and whinges that you shouldn't put small twigs into it. Ironic, given that small twigs are all it can manage
