Product Information

Specification: Warranty: yes (1 year) , 2 or 4 stroke: 2 stroke , Engine power: 0.9 KW / 1.2 HP , Weight: 7 kg Here’s some useful information to bear in mind before buying a grass trimmer. What’s a Strimmer Used For? 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. Just try cutting a medium-sized lawn of long grass with a strummer and you’ll soon realise you’re fighting a losing battle. Likewise, try trimming off perfect edges or along pathways with your lawnmower, not an easy task to say the least.

Bicycle-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. This excellent 30cm strimmer is a top option for general strimming tasks though its non-telescopic aluminium shaft is quite long so it might not be suitable for those of very short stature. Manageability is especially important when considering a heavy petrol strimmer. These are powerful machines and, even with a harness, they can feel unwieldy. You need to be relatively confident in your physical ability, especially to use a strimmer over 10 kg. It’s a professional grade petrol strimmer and is designed with ergonomic bicycle handles which are comfortable to use even for extended periods. To make the job even easier this petrol model comes with a harness to help evenly distribute the weight of it and saves fatigue. It also comes with a harness included, which will help prevent the 5.2 kg weight from becoming too tiring.The fuel tank has a capacity of 0.8 litres, which should last a lot longer than any cordless electrical strimmer, and the two-stroke oil to petrol mixing ratio is 1:25. The BC330CU is equipped with an efficient 33cc two-stroke engine with a variable speed trigger and a heavy-duty, self-unravelling nylon cord that makes mincemeat of wild overgrown weeds and grasses. Petrol-powered brush cutters are inherently heavy (this one weighs 9kgs) and too unwieldy to use for more than five minutes at a time so having a bike-style handlebar system and a shoulder harness to help balance the weight is a massive bonus. Use your strimmer to cut away all the thorny branches until you’re left with just a stump. To avoid this re-generating you need to dig out the stump as well as remove as much of the roots as possible. Any seedlings should be dug out and removed by hand as well. I was very impressed with the Flymo Contour XT Electric Grass Trimmer and Edger thanks to its great value for money and user-friendly design. Whether you’ve had a lot of strimmers in the past or this is your first venture, it’s a simple model to use and delivers good results

Stihl is a common choice of petrol strimmer for professional gardeners. Chosen for their superb reliability, and outstanding build quality, they are the products to go for if you don’t mind spending the money. This depends on your specific needs. Both corded and cordless strimmers are suitable for domestic use. As with most things, this robustness comes at a price and the price is an increase in weight when compared to plastic only models. Don’t let that put you off, it’s light enough for almost all to handle. With a bit of adjustment, the harness that comes with the strimmer helps to make the machine feel lighter than its 9.15kg. The handlebar design helps to keep the weight load spread out evenly too.The not so great things that you have to put up with when using a petrol strimmer are extra maintenance and running costs. You will need to make sure you have a can of petrol on hand and you will also need oil to keep the motor lubricated and to change spark plugs and such from time to time. However, if you’re using your strimmer professionally or will be working on lots of heavy-duty tasks, I recommend a strimmer with a 52 cc engine.
