Review for Draper 69933 Safety Helmet with ear defenders and visor:
Replacement lexan type visors available; box illustration (not photo) shows mesh screen fitted. Mesh screen would be useful when chainsawing, but I haven't been able to find this as a spare part on Draper or vendor websites.

Assembly instructions poor, but most aspect obvious - inner head frame fittings baffled me for a while.Replacement lexan type visors available; box illustration (not photo) shows mesh screen fitted.

Lifetime
I got this battery with a Quattro powertools set. Can't have used it more than about 20 times in about 7 years and now it won't hold enough charge to even drill a little hole in a wall. Not impressed, but can't be bothered to buy an entirely new set, so will have to buy a replacement.111

Review for Draper Expert 79988 5L Garden Sprayer:
It proved to be very very effective and much easier to use than an electric sprayer.
The top is funnel shaped allowing for easy filling and the large handle doubles as the pump which is quite large so it's easy to pressurise.
It also comes with a shoulder strap to enable you to walk around with it easily.
The pressure vessel is very robust and should last many years.
All in all a very good sprayer which performs as good as my dads `other' make one that cost over twice as much.

Multisharp 1201 Cylinder Mower Sharpener
This device works exactly as described. It will sharpen cylinder mower blades and ensure their correct working. There are a couple of things to note:-1) The abrasive wears very quickly, and it is unlikely that you will sharpen the blade more than once before it tears and needs replacing. Replacing the abrasive is easy, if tedious, as the glue holding the abrasive to the backing plate is *very* sticky.
2) If your mower blades are damaged due to stone chips and the like, it is a very good idea to remove any high spots with a file before using the Multisharp. If there are any high spots, it is likely to tear the abrasive.
With these provisos, it is a great piece of equipment. There's really nothing else I know of which will do the job.
