Any advice on getting the blade off a flymo?The plastic tool they include is nt worth 2 cents!!!The blade got bent at both ends and it seems impossible to remove now.Any info appreciated.

I'm not being smart but, whatever you do, make sure it's plugged out before you go at it.
I seem to remember a similar problem years ago. I think I ended up throwing it out and buying a petrol mower. I had problems with the long grass of the first cut each year and it wasn't really up to the job.
In answer to your question, I think you should take it to whoever is going to fix or replace the blade. He/she should also put it back in place also. You wouldn't want to do a DIY repair job on it and having it fly off and damaging your leg or foot!

If i could afford it i would get small petrol one alright.it seems to be seized totally.Will have to borrow one and start saving!!
I assume that you've put the plastic spanner on the nut, held the blade in a gloved hand to stop it turning and given the spanner a good clout with a hammer?
I also assume that you've followed Lex's advice and ensured that it is unplugged from your power source.

I'd go along the lines of Billk but would spray area with a bit of WD40 or similar few mins before hand.
Not sure about the hammer though!
