    Hi Folks, I somehow managed to cut the electrical cable when working in the garden on the electrical hedge trimmers that I bought from Aldi last summer.

    Is there a way to get that fixed without having to send it back to the UK where it was made?

    I've nicked the cable every summer! I just did as suggested above - obviously it depends where you cut the cable as to how good a solution it will be. Some lawnmower sales/hire shops will do repairs for general, powered tools.

    NEVER do a bodge join but you probably knew that.

    I've joined the two pieces with those little electrical connectors that you wire both ends in to and wrap in insulating tape.

    Use something like this

    Definite no no!
    That type of bodge is not allowed indoors, let alone outdoors.
    OP, go to your local electrical wholesalers, explain your predicament and they will/should have a proper lead connector for outdoor use.
