[NSC] I smashed up my strimmer, and I don't want my wife to know

dispose of the old one?
What is WRONG with you?
surely you need to keep it, in your shed, just in case you need it, or BITS of it?
I think you’re on to something.
Easy can tell the Doris that the strimmer cracked after an angry seagull flew overhead and dropped a stone on it, but it’s ok because he’ll keep it for PARTS in case something happens to the new one.
It would be the perfect crime, had he not left an easily googled confession on NSC.

Wow, this thread spawned further than I thought. Some lively punnage, a sprinkling of advice, and a drizzle of withering disdain. Overall, I think we've all learned something.
So. After perusing a few new strimmers, I have arrived at a conclusion that somebody mentioned earlier, and may surprise some. I think I might invest in a nice pair of SHEARS. Given my garden is only about 30 yards long by 15 yards wide, its not going to be overly TAXING to chop my way round the edging. And who knows, by the end of the summer I might even have guns like Dwayne Johnson and thighs like Igor.
I'll tell the doris I'm on a health kick (the snapped strimmer is still cunningly concealed).

What could possibly go wrong?

Some options worth considering.
a) Take it along to BBC's The Repair Shop and tell them the strimmer was your late father's who died in an heroic effort to save some kittens crossing the road. And be sure to mention it is the only connection you have left with him.
b) Alternatively, if you are really shit scared of your missus, buy her something like a massive bunch of flowers or maybe a pampering session at a spa and tell her that the purchase included a free strimmer.
c) Tell your wife you received a new strimmer as an early bird gift from Paul Barber for being a loyal Brighton fan for so many years and renewing your 2024/25 Albion season ticket back in February.
d) Just look on eBay for a second hand replacement of the exact same model and get it sent to a mate's address. Then just swap them over when she's out for the day.

I hope it was something like these and not the type shown in an earlier photo which would mean fannying around on the ground

With his wooden edging wouldn't these be better, unless he is planning to do it lying down
