Product Information

For neatening up lawn edges, as well as cutting through tougher shrubbery like brambles, the Ryobi 2 in 1 Petrol Grass Brush Cutter is a solid choice: powerful yet lightweight. Before talking about the best way to prepare a petrol strimmer so that it’s easier to start, it’s worth mentioning that some petrol machines come with an ‘electric start’ function. This means they can be started with the push of a button, much like an electric machine. This is just as well, as it’s a relatively powerful 43 cc 2-stroke petrol strimmer with both a bump-line feed head and a brush-cutter blade. For the most part, the line head is able to work through a lot of tough undergrowth, like long grass and brambles, so you may find there’s not even much need to change to the brush cutting blade.

Practicalities

Whereas some multi-function tools can do a lot but are not very good at anything this model is an exception to that rule. For the enthusiastic gardener, this tool will cover a large area and variety of tasks with ease and you’ll save hundreds of pounds by not buying these tools separately. You’ll also benefit from incredibly accurate cutting. If you’re looking for a tool that will work well in manicured gardens with a lot of curves, angles and tight spots then this is definitely something worth considering. When cutting along fences, pathways, and other obstacles, this Einhell delivers a neat, clean finish every time. Blade The drive cable has to travel down the shaft to power the cutting head. A curved shaft means this cable needs to be longer and this makes it more prone to damage. Curved shaft strimmers are not as powerful as straight ones but are lighter and easier for shorter people to use. On the flip side, if you’re tall, a curved strimmer is very awkward to use. For general use, with an average sized person, a straight shaft is better. Sometimes, a trimmer won’t get the job done which is why I love the fact that the Einhell GC-BC 52 I AS petrol brushcutter is a two in one tool featuring a line feed and a scythe cutter. This versatility means that you won’t need to switch tools halfway through a job because the Einhell petrol brushcutter does it all.On an aesthetic note, the finishes, such as the buttons, components and strimmer head, may be a bit crude in comparison to more premium models, but the general consensus seems to be that this doesn’t affect the running of the strimmer itself and it still offers good value. This engine power tool is lightweight and well balanced and when the attachment is in place it reaches 221cm so you can easily trim tall hedges.

It has a bump feed, nylon thread trimmer head as well as a metal blade cutting head for heavy-duty work. The metal blades are double-sided for added durability and a lot of attention to detail has gone into this machine. Aosome has made sure to use an engine that is powerful and up to the many jobs that are expected from it. You can even adjust the angle of the hedge trimmer to get a perfect finish. This is a two-stroke engine that benefits from an auto choke function, so you won’t have any more problems when cold starting your tool. Many of the best petrol strimmers offer 2-in-1 functionality . They come with two head attachments: a cutting-line head and a brush-cutter head. This improves the tool’s versatility, allowing you to cut an array of vegetation.

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. This Einhell strimmer performed well on the grass at the edge of my lawn and on weeds (as seen in my demonstration video).

Last but certainly not least is a great multi-tool option from Mountfield. The lawn trimmer is a simple tap and go nylon head to help you work efficiently. The brushcutter attachment is a 3 tooth metal blade, perfect for weeds and it even has a 40cm hedge trimmer attachment.

My Top Recommended Petrol Strimmers

There’s no limit on how long mains-powered strimmers can be used for – it doesn’t have a battery to run down and won’t need refuelling. Of course, the motor may need a bit of time to cool down during extended use. What’s more, this Einhell brushcutter’s engine is high performance with low vibration so you get a more comfortable user experience. That said, I have to point out that it’s pretty loud so it’s probably worth getting some ear defenders, especially if you have a lot of yard work to get done. Performance
