Because of this, you can use them anywhere in the garden, but you’re restricted by run time and how long the battery takes to charge. i was thinking about fastening a 6-8 in piece of thin metal wire (about the same diameter of my current string) on each side of my trimmer head. The head is easy to rotate for use as an edge trimmer and the wheels help to support the weight of the body, ensuring it cuts at a consistent height. A double line trimmer, it gives a fantastic cut, and thanks to its generous 30cm cutting width, tackles the job quickly and efficiently.

Just as nylon line and the more common type of Bosch blades will wear away more rapidly if you stim up close against a brick wall, so too will the newer type. It copes well with large patches of long grass, as well as hard to reach areas, and cuts lawn edges cleanly. It worked great for cutting long areas of ditch bank untill one of the links broke off and busted my leg through jeans.

It also doesn't come with any spare line, and unlike some of other battery powered strimmers, there is no indication of the battery level as you work. Anything heavier such as long tough overgrown areas of grass, nettles and other tough weeds will be best trimmed with a heavy duty petrol strimmer.

Although powerful enough to cut long grass and weeds, line strimmers aren’t as strong as blade strimmers, and are therefore less effective on tough, woody material. just in case we need it, but we really only use that for brushcutting ( works like a charm, MUCH better/faster than using blades.Considering my reel of orange stihl quiet line will probably last me 2 years I'm not to worried about a replacement for it.

The Landscape Juice Network (LJN) is the largest and fastest growing professional landscaping and horticultural association in the United Kingdom. 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. This protects your garden, as it stops you from nicking a tree or garden furniture but it also protects your strimmer line or blades by preventing them from catching on a fence or wall and breaking. Even the bump guard is adjustable with a screwdriver, so if you have a variety of obstacles to trim around you can get the distance exactly right. You can comfortably strim a garden on a single charge, and you can charge it back to full within an hour as well, which is very efficient.However, these fragments of plastic aren’t good for the environment, and once you run out of cord, the spools can be fiddly to replace. As you might imagine, it would need to be a more powerful type of strimmer to drive a metal blade and at a speed fast enough to cut through the type of growth mentioned above.
