Universal Plastic Guard Shield 26MM to FIT Various STRIMMER Trimmer Brush Cutter

Product Information

Handle types. There are two types of strimmer handles. The most common is a round, circular handle on the shaft of the strimmer, called a loop handle. It makes the strimmer easy and comfortable to control, and on the best models, it can be slid up and down the shaft, so you can adjust it to your height. Alternatively, there are ‘steer’ handles - two handles rather than a loop. These offer more control and let you use a comfortable scything motion when you cut, but they take up room, and can be a little more expensive. They’re also far more common on brushcutters and petrol strimmers than electric or cordless strimmers, so you might not find steer handles on many domestic models. In terms of cutting power, blades and cutting line are pretty evenly matched. Some gardeners have grown tired of messing with cutting line and prefer the bladed models, but others don’t enjoy having to replace the blades. How to Use a Cordless Strimmer Pro tip: The key to automatic line feeds is to stop about once a minute just long enough for the spool head to reel out more thread. This stops the thread from getting so short that it unclips from the spool and has to be reloaded. Pros: As much as I enjoy the cordless freedom, I know that strimmers can get heavy over time, especially during extended use. Lightweight models are always on my radar, as well as those with an excellent balance between battery weight and motor, easing my efforts and reducing arm fatigue. Noise and Vibration

Bosch is a brand that just about everyone knows and loves, so I had high hopes for the Bosch Advanced Grass Cut 36– a cordless grass trimmer and edger that’s designed for long grass and overgrown areas. Some people prefer the automatic system to the ‘bump feed’ system, you just need to be aware that it could use more line. I also noticed that this strimmer didn’t feel quite as powerful as some of the others that I tested. It came with a 2.0Ah battery, which gave me about 20 minutes of strimming time. This may be all you need if you have a small garden, but I would recommend purchasing a larger battery for medium or large spaces. This same battery can of course be used with other Ryobi One+ tools. Terratek is known for producing quality tools at low prices, resulting in the brand building up a loyal following over the years.

If you are using your machine for the first time, you must ensure that you adjust it properly so that it will be comfortable to use. You should extend the adjustable shaft to the point that you won’t need to bend over during operations. It works best with Worx’s proprietary DNA2 Double Helix spool thread, a patented polymer blend designed to cut better and last longer than conventional threads, but you can use other brands, too. Design: To be ranked high, models needed to demonstrate the right balance between weight and power. Cordless strimmers weighing 2.5 kg were best for long-term use as well as short bursts of activity, so they were rated higher than heavier models. For strimmers weighing more than 3 kg, we assessed whether the design accommodated this, such as with a harness. Designs with adjustable cut paths (ideally 25 – 30 cm) were rated higher as they could be used for both lawns and more difficult places, like in between bushes, improving the versatility of the strimmer. Ease of Use: The most comfortable cordless strimmers feature ergonomic rear and front handles, a telescopic shaft, and a push-button or automatic line feeder. Because of this, any models that included this combination of features were rated as some of the best in terms of ease of use.

As a rule, the battery warranty should last at least two years and should cover you in case of any defects in manufacture. The unit itself is generally guaranteed for up to three years.
