Product Information

Knowing what you’ll be cutting will also determine how powerful you need your grass trimmer or brushcutter to be. How big is your garden? Petrol strimmers. Powered by petrol these typically have steer handles - explained in more detail below - and a curved, angled shaft. Because they use fuel, they’re often more powerful than corded and cordless strimmers, but petrol is polluting and messy to store and use. They’re also heavy, noisy and need regular servicing. Thanks to the rise of cordless batteries, they’re less common nowadays, particularly for home use. It comes pre-loaded with 5 m of 2.5 mm diameter line and is easy to attach to the strimmer without needing to undo the entire head. The head screws on easily and can be fitted in minutes.

With advances in technology, cordless models can now run for much longer and can cut larger areas versus older models. Although we state the runtime you can get from your tool where possible, in real world use there are a number of factors that influence the runtime and more information on this can be found here. One of the most significant hazards of using wire in your string trimmer is the risk of physical injuries to the user. Compared to string trimmer lines, steel wires are more rigid and prone to breakage, making them more likely to fling debris out in all directions. If you've opted for a corded electric grass trimmer or brushcutter, you'll have to keep an eye on the cable when trimming. For greater reach and mobility, opt for ones with the longest cable length available. Ours span up to 10m in length. Weight Manual feed strimmers require you to pull new line through by hand. Naturally, there are advantages and disadvantages to this. You need to make sure that the strimmer is completely off, and uplugged/not able to turn on before manually adjusting the line. It’s also a messier process than other line-feed options. However, you can have total control over how much line is used, and you don’t have to rely on a sometimes-unresponsive bump-feed system. Line feed and blade replacements. It’s useful if a blade strimmer comes with spare blades, so you don’t run out if one breaks in the middle of a job. You should be able to get a new spool of line for a line strimmer or replace the whole head. With both types it's helpful if the spare blades or line can be stored on the tool.

Final Thoughts Around Using Wire In Your String Trimmer 

If you don’t already have an Einhell product from this range, we should note that this trimmer won’t come with the required battery and charger. However, as we’ve seen before, you only need to buy this once (it works with a full range of products).

Cutting head. The cutting head is the most important feature on a strimmer. It should be adjustable, so you can change the angle of the cut to cope with inclines and fiddly jobs. In most models, the head turns 90°, so you can trim along the edges of paths and flowerbeds. In the very best models, the cutting head also has wheels to help guide along edges and support the weight of the strimmer. Round Line – Round line is a traditional type of trimmer line that’s perfect for basic trimming jobs. It’s easy to use, less prone to breakage, and offers excellent flexibility when cutting around obstacles. When the wire breaks or snaps, it can cause small pieces of metal to fly out toward the user or bystanders, causing cuts, bruises, or even more serious injuries. These tools are made to go right up to the boundaries of your yard, with the more flexible plastic string not causing any issues to any hard objects it comes up against. There are three main areas of risk when using a steel wire instead of a nylon line. Physical Harm to the UserPlus, there is some sort of argument about having a head full of metal having more rotational mass, thus possibly causing clutch issues down the road from overworking, esp when used on a smaller trimmer that is much more suitable for every day trimming, as opposed to a larger one that has the ability to use blades (which kills you when used for normal trimming every day..).

Although it is only intended for use with Trueshopping strimmers, it fits other models as well; however, it’s difficult to know which ones exactly without trying it, therefore there is a bit of risk involved if your strimmer isn’t from Trueshopping. Straps and safety harnesses. A shoulder strap or safety harness is an excellent bonus feature. It takes some of the weight of the tool, making it more comfortable to use, and also helps balance it, for better manoeuvrability and a more precise cut. Although this strimmer head is compatible with a lot of strimmers, it is quite large and needs to be used with machine with sufficient power; it will fit most straight shaft strimmers over 33 cc. There’s no need to take the head apart to secure it in place and it is easy to fit with the five screws provided. Below are some common types of heavy-duty nylon lines that are particularly reliable and effective:If you don’t have access to an outdoor power source or have a larger garden where an extension cable simply is not practical, then a cordless trimmer or brushcutter could be perfect for you. Cordless models offer many of the benefits of corded models, being lightweight, easy to use and maintain, but offer the freedom of petrol, making them ideal for a variety of garden sizes. They are also the most environmentally friendly power type as you do not generate any emissions and do not need mains power supply.
