Buy or hire the ACT300 if...
A walk-behind turfcutter used by landscapers and groundworkers to lift turf cleanly ahead of relaying or disposal. The Honda engine and 30cm blade are standard across UK tool hire fleets, which is why it turns up under HSS-style "Active" own-brand labelling as well as its own name.

Buy or hire the Hummel if...
The classic belt sander used to strip and refinish wood floors, in production since 1969 and still the reference machine flooring contractors and DIY renovators reach for. UK hire listings sometimes attribute it to Bona, the abrasives and finish brand, rather than its actual maker Lagler.
