Currently up for grabs with a massive £50 off, the Greenworks 40V Cordless Brushcutter Grass Strimmer has landed on an Amazon sale in plenty of time for the coming heatwave or for gifting this Father's Day.
The durable and well-balanced brush cutter boasts 40V of power and a brushless motor that gives unmatched power and run times. Supplied with a harness and adjustable D-grip handle for extra comfort and control while in use, this gardening gem has received plenty of praise from Amazon shoppers in over 1000 reviews.
Powered by an advanced battery that can be used in any Greenworks 40V tool, this strimmer cuts down on waste while saving money and storage space. The dual line strimmer comes armed with a diameter of 2mm, which powers through the toughest of long grass. What's more, you can change the head to a blade in seconds, letting you seamlessly cut through tough weeds.

Amazon customers have bestowed this gardening gadget with plenty of 5-star reviews. One thrilled shopper shares: "Having used a petrol Husqvarna strimmer for many years that has given me great service but finally died a death this year I took the plunge to go for this 40v Greenworks strimmer/bushcutter. Glad I did! It is so much easier to use and control than the petrol one, besides being much quieter! I can use it for longer without vibration affecting my hands and wrists. It has two speed settings, and on the lowest, which is perfectly good for regular strimming with the line-feed, each battery lasts for about half an hour - good for a large garden!"
Further praise comes from this buyer who beams: "I bought this to clear dense brush and brambles from my wooded area. With the metal blade attached it cuts through it like a knife through butter. The only criticism would be the battery life. I get roughly 45 - 60 minutes of cutting time in each battery. It doesn't concern me too much because the machine itself is really well made with a powerful brushless motor. No overheating of the motor itself. All in all well worth the money."
A third chimes in: "Without doubt, this is a fantastic Strimmer. Ok, I paid top bucks £228. But this does the job. It's not a cheap plastic Chinese tool, this is a rugged pro/consumer machine. The brush cutter is industrial and cuts the most stubborn brush; the strimmer is the business. Cutting grass with a nice, even cut. The batteries have a good life and take around 30 minutes to charge. Fed up with a crap machine buy this one you wont be sorry."
And another customer enthuses: "I was a bit unsure changing from petrol to cordless but this strimmer does the job really well. The batteries last easily to cover the garden. It was easy to assemble and easy to use I am really impressed."
This shopper shares: "Easy to assemble and use. Battery lasted a surprisingly long time. So much better than a petrol one!"
And a sixth enthuses: "For a weak framed person such as me it is perfect and I now can clear the edges without the need to go on hands and knees with shears. Perfect."
If you prefer shopping elsewhere, take a peek at B&Q's offering with this Ryobi ONE+ 18V 300mm Cordless Grass trimmer for £125. For those keeping to a budget, Argos has a more budget-friendly pick with this McGregor 23cm Cordless Grass Trimmer for £38.25, down from £45.

Tesco is selling a £6.99 buy that'll get rid of pesky flies in seconds, and it's completely chemical-free too

Plus, why do flies come out in summer? BUZZ OFF Tesco is selling a £6.99 buy that'll get rid of pesky flies in seconds, and it's completely chemical-free too WHEN you spend long summer days in the garden, keeping pesky flies and mosquitos at bay is a top priority. Fortunately, there are many great repellent options available if you're tired of the constant buzzing by your ears. 3 Closeup of a housefly with its reflection in a glass window Credit: Getty 3 One woman documented how the plant instantly trapped a fly Credit: tiktok/@hannahtuite2 3 Fellow shoppers can snap up this plant for as little as £6.99 from Tesco Credit: tiktok/@hannahtuite2 However, for pest control that also makes your outdoor space look better, it's worth considering adding a special plant that will kill the unwelcome visitors. Most of us have heard that adding basil or rosemary to the greenery works wonders. But turns out, there's another plant worth snapping up from your local Tesco - the Venus Fly Trap. The ultimate natural pest control is this carnivorous plant that captures pesky insects and spiders in its claw-like, clamshell-shaped leaves. Once the pest has been trapped, the plant snaps them shut, and then "eats" its unsuspecting prey by releasing digestive enzymes. While these plants are certainly fascinating and entertaining to watch, the Venus Fly Trap requires rather specific conditions. For best results, you should plant it outside for full sun - however, if that's not an option, you can keep it on a sunny windowsill with an additional artificial light nearby. The fly-munching trap also likes wet soil, meaning if in a pot, its roots must always be sitting in water. As the plant can't handle hard water that comes from most taps in the UK, it's strongly advised to keep it hydrated with distilled or clean rainwater. If the trap is unable to catch food on its own, green-fingered Brits should keep it fed with insects, blood worms, or fish food. The 2C method which stops flies plaguing your home and ruining your BBQ Keen to see whether this chemical-free solution works? Shoppers can snap up Venus Fly Trap in a Tin from Tesco for just £6.99, order it from Amazon for £13.99 or buy it from their local B&Q on sale for £16.35. One person who was recently amazed by how well the plant worked was Irish lass and TikToker Hannah Tuite - her plant caught a fly just an hour after purchasing it. ''Wasn't expecting this to work, let alone so quick,'' she told fellow social media users in the now-viral video. Why do flies come out in summer? Flies are present all year round, but all of a sudden when summer comes, they are just EVERYWHERE! The main contributing factors are the breeding cycle of flies and the soaring temperatures. Insects are cold blooded and in summer, when their body temperature rises from the external heat, they become more active. The hotter weather also let's them seek out cool moist spots, like inside your home, to escape from the sweltering heat and to lay their eggs. House Fly eggs take around 20 hours to hatch, but when the temperature rises above 37 degrees, can hatch within 8 hours! In extreme hot weather the eggs can mature from larvae to adult fly in as little as four days. The average lifespan of a housefly is 21 days, so each female can lay up to 900 eggs during the summer months! However, if you're on the lookout for a less barbaric option, the stunning lavender works a treat too - and it will leave your garden smelling amazing. Although lavender is one of the most beloved scents for humans, flies can't stand the scent of it. Therefore, if you plant the fragrant flower near the entrance to your home or on the windowsill, it will act as a barrier against flies. Plus, lavender also attracts bees, which will give your garden a wildlife boost. Anyone wanting to try out this simple hack won't have to fork out much, as Aldi is launching a lavender plant for just £3.79. The bargain bloom will be available at stores across the UK from June 12, so flower fans had better set their alarms to be in with the chance of snagging the product.

BREAKING NEWS Canada brutally hits back at Trump's tariffs ultimatum with huge hike that could cripple struggling US industry

After President Donald Trump shut down all trade talks with Canada, the country retaliated by hiking duties on American steel imports. Canada imposed an import quota late Friday and if it is exceeded, certain American steel sent to the country will face a new 50 percent surcharge. Canada's Finance Minister, François-Philippe Champagne, said the government was acting to protect domestic industry from 'unjust US tariffs,' NBC News reported. The response came hours after Trump posted on Truth Social about how Canada is a 'very difficult country to trade with.' His reason for suspending trade negotiations came down to a tax Canada is set to impose on major tech companies starting Monday. 'Based on this egregious Tax, we are hereby terminating ALL discussions on Trade with Canada, effective immediately,' Trump wrote, adding that the levy 'is a direct and blatant attack on our Country.' Last week, the finance minister said he would not delay the implementation of the digital services tax, which applies to any firm making more than $15 million from Canadian internet users. The three percent tax will strike at the heart of American companies like Amazon, Google, Meta, Uber and Airbnb. Canada's response came hours after President Donald Trump made this post criticizing the country for levying a usage tax on American tech companies And because the tax is retroactive back to 2022, one tech lobbying group said American firms will soon have to pay up to $3 billion directly into Canada's treasury. Canada has not ruled out further action to strike back at Trump for ending negotiations, with the government saying it 'remains prepared to take additional steps as needed.' How Canada's hike on US steel imports will affect the industry, which has been struggling for years, is yet to be seen. US Steel Corporation, once one of the most valuable companies in the world, just merged with Japan's Nippon Steel earlier this month after years of declining sales. Canada remains the second largest trading partner of the US, despite all the trade turmoil. Right now, the US has 25 percent tariff on Canadian imports that aren't covered by the US-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA), the trade deal Trump signed in his first term. Canadian energy is exempt from the 25 percent rate but is still tariffed at 10 percent, as are most products that have entered the US since early April. Canada is also hugely impacted by Trump's 50 percent tax on steel and aluminum imports, as the country is largest foreign supplier of those materials to the US. Canada's steel industry has laid off a staggering 1,000 workers since the first US tariffs in March, Reuters reported. It has also been impacted by the 25 percent duties Trump has levied on foreign-made vehicles and parts. This comes as the US rapidly approaches Trump's July 9 deadline to renegotiate trade with countries around the world so they can avoid so-called reciprocal tariffs. Trump first announced the reciprocal tariffs on April 2, which he dubbed 'Liberation Day.' More than 60 countries were hit with import charges of as much as 50 percent. The announcement from the White House led to widespread market panic and falling bond values, which led to Trump enacting a 90-day pause on April 9. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said early Friday that the pause could be extended to Labor Day - and that country-by-country tariffs could be negotiated down in that time. Hours later, Trump echoed a similar sentiment. He said the initial July 9 deadline was not set in stone and could shortened or extended.
