STANLEY STR-750A Petrol Grass Trimmer, Black, Yellow

Product Information

The bump feed nylon wire strimmer head and metal blade brush cutter can be changed over easily and share a universal guard. The cutting widths for these heads are 40cm for the strimmer and 23cm for the brush cutter. I have to say the nylon wire head doesn’t seem to have been built to the same standard as the rest of the product and the plastic didn’t feel as though it would last that long but I think that’s just down to the sheer power of the engine obliterating the plastic line( as well as the grass and brush in its way 🙂 ). I hardly feel it’s fair to call that a fault!

Specification: Warranty: yes (1 year) , 2 or 4 stroke: 2 stroke , Engine power: 3 HP , Weight: 18.2 kg Of course, this only applies if the hedges you want to trim are relatively small. A long, tall hedge will take a while and give your triceps the kind of workout not even a gym can provide. In which case you’re better off with a hedge trimmer attachment. Although at first glance, they could be confused with a brush cutter or even a garden multi-tool, petrol strimmers are less heavy-duty than those more powerful than electric strimmers or cordless strimmers. and are only really suited to getting that perfect edge on your lawn. Petrol strimmers are best suited for those of you who have large lawns or long garden paths to keep neat and tidy but are a bit overkill if you only have a small or average-sized garden. For most people, an electric strimmer or cordless strimmer will be more than enough. If you’re only concerned with trimming the edges of lawns and flower beds, strips of grass too narrow for a lawn mower, and around the bases of shrubs, tree trunks and potted plants, then a basic, entry-level strimmer is all you need.Both systems have advantages and disadvantages. In general, the bump feed comes out on top. It’s a simpler mechanism so there’s less to go wrong and it lets the user control the length of the line. However, if you’re tempted to extrude too much line, that can lead to tangling issues, a problem that doesn’t come up with automatic line feeders. Warranty The Stihl FS55 is an entry-level model, but don’t let that fool not thinking that this product isn’t top-class, as when compared to most other petrol trimmers out there, this one comes out on top.

No matter the size of your garden, you might find that there are small areas where it’s impossible to take a mower. Most strimmers have a cutting width of around 40 cm, so they can still struggle to get into tighter spaces, but the Einhell Two Stroke Brush Cutterhas a blade attachment of 25.5 cm. It’s one of the best machines for manoeuvring into narrow spots.A U-shaped shaft handle offers a place for one hand to hold the strimmer. The other hand is positioned higher up on the shaft of the strimmer. This means that hands are positioned one behind the other in a linear fashion. This may seem more intuitive to some, but is a posture that can take its toll if the strimmer is heavy and used for an extended period. The harness that comes with this petrol garden strimmer is a high quality, double shoulder straps type, is very comfortable and even has a stomach pad. The harness does a great job of distributing the weight out evenly and makes the 10kg feel considerably lighter than it is. A beautifully balanced piece of machinery. Yes, you can buy a garden multi-tool or a 2-in-1 strimmer and brushcutter. Some strimmers come as part of kits that can include items such as rotovators, brushcutters, hedge trimmers and even small chainsaws for trimming branches. These multi-tools can save you money by only requiring you to own one engine to power several tools, but there is a major downside – if that engine stops working, all your tools are useless. What’s the difference between a strimmer and a brushcutter? The type of handle can make a difference in terms of how easy the strimmer is to control. There are generally two types of handles: a bicycle-handlebar style handle, and a U-shaped shaft handle. Finally, like anything that burns fossil fuels, there will be fumes and emissions to deal with and they are obviously not good for the environment.

Not a heavyweight winner, provides all the required tools, has a powerful engine and is available at a budget-friendly price tag. Looks like Chester has added all the qualities that a multi-purpose garden tool deserves to enjoy your garden shed.Battery strimmers are both cordless and lightweight, unlike petrol strimmers which are cordless but heavy. The materials used in this petrol strimmer’s construction aren’t up to what you’d find on a Stihl strimmer, but they are still good quality and a fraction of the price. The frame is a rust-proof alloy and heavy-duty plastic; it looks and feels robust and hard-wearing.
