Spear & Jackson S1825CT 25cm Cordless Grass Trimmer - 18V

Product Information

However, when it was time to take on the brush, it was able to perform without skipping a beat, so it’s a great tool if you have to contend with lawns and undergrowth in equal measure, as you won’t have to switch to a specialised brush cutter, unless things get really thick and clogged. A quiet, battery-operated model that comes with a variable cutting path of either 28cm or 33cm, and with the line already fitted onto the cassette, so you can hit the ground strimming. Many of the strimmer brands reviewed below have interchangeable batteries that will work across a number of power tools within their respective brand’s cordless range. We didn’t need to think about the line’s length for the entire time we were strimming, with the machine’s auto-feed mechanism working well every time we stopped and then started strimming again. However, this does limit the machine to shorter shifts of strimming on a small to medium sized patch, rather than an all-out assault on the entire garden.

Protection – It might not be the most comfortable gardening get-up but using powerful tools such as these requires some protective gear, so make sure you’re sporting full-length trousers, gloves, closed-toe shoes and a long-sleeved top. No matter how efficient the feed, you will eventually run out of line, so we also assessed each model on how easy it was to respool, and all the machines that made our edit made the job of resupplying the line headache-free. There’s a fine (usually nylon) line between a good-looking garden and a great-looking one, and it’s attached to a strimmer or brush cutter. One blade has three teeth for general scrub, while the eight-tooth blade will work well against thicker, harder wooded stems, and the blades are easily changed. The range inlcudes, Electric Lawnmowers, Cordless Lawnmowers and Hover Mowers, Grass Trimmers, Pressure Washers, Hedge Trimmers, Polesaws and Chainsaws.In terms of safety, the electrical components found in battery-powered trimmers are isolated, unlike their corded counterparts, but there isstill a risk of starting a fire or giving yourself a nasty electric shock when working with wet grass.

The line fed out well and the cutting head can be turned, so you can switch from trimming to edging without hassle.A super-light, corded model that is perfectly suited to keep a small front and back garden in check during the summer. Strimmers are usually equipped with a flexible strimmer wire, which becomes taught as the strimmer head rotates, enabling it to slice through vegetation. This includes avoiding raising the blade above your waist and trying not to strain too much when tackling hard-to-reach spots. This is an incredibly lightweight battery model that’s nicely balanced and uses plastic blades, instead of cord, which clip onto the cutting head and are effective at taking down long grass, nettles and even some of the larger, well-established weeds it had to tackle. For pick-up-and-go strimming, we found the Ryobi RY36LT33A-120 was an excellent all-rounder, with good ergonomics.
