Einhell GC-PT 2538/1 I AS Petrol Strimmer -- 600W Grass Trimmer With 2-Stoke Engine, Bump Fed Spool Twin Line Cutting, 380mm Cutting Width -- Cordless Grass Strimmer Petrol

Product Information

Your strimmer should be serviced after 40 hours of use or more frequently if stated by the manufacturer. Some warranties will be invalid if the strimmer hasn’t been frequently serviced so always read the fine print so you don’t get caught out here. There’s no limit on how long mains-powered strimmers can be used for – it doesn’t have a battery to run down and won’t need refuelling. Of course, the motor may need a bit of time to cool down during extended use.

I hope this article has helped clear up any questions you may have had about buying the best petrol strimmer. In the end, there’s a petrol grass strimmer out there for everyone but you need to be the one to discern which model best fits your situation. If you need a lighter machine, there are options available such as the 3.9 kg McCulloch Trimmac Trimmer. Of course, the weight always increases a little after fuel has gone in as well. The downside of a lighter strimmer is that they can vibrate a lot, and they won’t be able to do the same tasks as more powerful and heavy models. That said, they are a good compromise if you want the power of petrol but are worried about manageability.

Suitable accessories for GC-BC 30 AS

A strimmer harness will evenly distribute the weight of the strimmer and will take the pressure off your arms. This allows you to better control the movement of the tool and makes for a safer and easier time. A well-designed strimmer harness will allow you to get the best out of your strimmer. However, if there’s one thing that lets the Einhell GC-BC 52 I AS petrol brushcutter down, it’s the fact that the handle isn’t padded and is therefore not the most comfortable thing I’ve ever used (so wear a good pair of padded gloves). Yes, the controls are within easy reach, but I think Einhell could have gone a little further when considering the handle design. It might seem like a non-issue but when you’re using the tool for a long time, you’ll be thankful for a comfortable handle. Accessories Most electric and petrol strimmers will chomp through longer grass, but battery strimmers often struggle due to the reduced power, and the user will need to go over the same area several times. However, I found that this was only an issue with longer grass, and the Einhell strimmer was effective on regular grass and weeds in our test garden. The two-stroke engine starts relatively easily and requires a combination of petrol and oil, and you should consider using ear protection as well – it’s quite a noisy machine.

A strimmer harness can help solve the issue of a heavy strimmer as it distributes the weight of the tool more evenly over your body rather than just using arm strength. You’ll also benefit from incredibly accurate cutting. If you’re looking for a tool that will work well in manicured gardens with a lot of curves, angles and tight spots then this is definitely something worth considering. When cutting along fences, pathways, and other obstacles, this Einhell delivers a neat, clean finish every time. BladeBicycle-handlebar handles allow you to balance the weight of the strimmer between two hands. Whilst this can take a bit of getting used to, it offers a lot of control and stability. Einhell is known for its powerful and reliable tools and the Einhell GC-BC 52 I AS petrol brushcutter is no exception to this. It’s got a lot of handy features that make it user friendly and allows you to get out into the garden and get the job done without hassle. The handle position is also adjustable, so users of different heights can find the position that is most suitable, and the engine also starts relatively easily which will reduce fatigue from pulling the engine cord. Working in its favour is its power, but you might find that you need to rest frequently if using this machine for long periods, especially with the blade attachment, as the vibrations can be uncomfortable.

Along with the harness, a tool kit and fuel-mixing bottle come included. Whilst you may get more from using your own tools for maintenance, the bottle is useful for easily combining the petrol and oil needed before starting. No matter the size of your garden, you might find that there are small areas where it’s impossible to take a mower. Most strimmers have a cutting width of around 40 cm, so they can still struggle to get into tighter spaces, but the Einhell Two Stroke Brush Cutterhas a blade attachment of 25.5 cm. It’s one of the best machines for manoeuvring into narrow spots.I would recommend the Einhell GC-BC 52 I AS petrol brushcutter for people who want the power and freedom of a petrol tool but need something that’ll work for day-to-day use. The Einhell petrol brushcutter is a 2 in 1 tool so it’s perfect for anyone looking for something versatile. Generally, it seems this model is quieter than competing petrol strimmers, which might make it a bit more ‘neighbour friendly’, especially if you’re fond of working the early mornings or evenings.
