What are the benefits of using a garden strimmer?
Versatile
Garden strimmers are incredibly versatile, allowing you to complete a multitude of tasks with just one power tool. They are ideal for finishing off mowed lawns, making easy work of any remaining stray strands. They can be used to edge borders, for a sharp, clean-cut finish. You can also angle your grass trimmer to achieve the edge style you prefer. A strimmer can make light work of overgrown weeds that would otherwise be a real pain to get rid of.
Adjustable
Whether your grass trimmer has a foot pedal for changing the cutting angle or you simply lean the handle, grass trimmers offer flexible cutting angles to help you achieve the look you desire.
Lightweight
Strimmers are lightweight and portable, giving you the freedom to move around easily. We have handy cordless strimmers that are extremely convenient for moving freely around your garden you won’t need to worry about trailing cables or plug sockets. But if you don’t want to have to worry about charging, a corded strimmer will offer consistent, unwavering power to get the #jobdone.
What is the difference between a grass strimmer and a brushcutter?
Grass trimmers and brushcutters look very similar and have a similar structure and parts, but they are suited to different tasks and the types of vegetation they can cut. Grass trimmers are lightweight and easy to manoeuvre. They’re great for tidying around the borders of your lawn, plants and trees, as well as accessing tricky areas that your lawnmower can’t reach. A brush cutter, however, can tackle overgrown grass, weeds, brambles and even small hedges and trees.
To choose whether a grass strimmer or brushcutter will be best for you, it’s a good idea to think about what you will be cutting. For short to medium-length grass, tidying edges and reaching into the awkward spots your lawn mower can’t reach, a grass strimmer may suit you best. If you’re planning on tackling long, overgrown grass, weeds and small trees, you may want to consider a brushcutter. If you think you’ll be cutting all sorts of vegetation, keep an eye out for options that are both grass strimmers and brushcutters.
