Product Information

It’s particularly good when edging due to wheels that help take the strain, so you can achieve a precise cut. It has an automatic feed and we love that there’s a storage compartment on the shaft for the spare spool, so it’s close-at-hand when it needs replacing. Depending on the length of the cable, these strimmers are more suitable for smaller gardens, but you can expand their reach with an extension lead. It also requires some heft to move between the strimming and edging modes as the mechanism is stiff. Depending on their power and their blade material, they can also tackle woodier growth like ivy, brambles, and stinging nettles.

We've tested a range of cordless and corded strimmers, putting them through their paces across arange of grass and terrains, to help you find the right one for your garden. Plus, there is some sort of argument about having a head full of metal having more rotational mass, thus possibly causing clutch issues down the road from overworking, esp when used on a smaller trimmer that is much more suitable for every day trimming, as opposed to a larger one that has the ability to use blades (which kills you when used for normal trimming every day. I'd imagine steel cable (rather than wire which would be too rigid to feed through an autocut head) would work, however it could cause a lot of damage to things you are stimming up against!A heavy duty strimmer line will need to be used if the area being trimmed has long grass or stubborn weeds growing. 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. 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. 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.

In the very best models, the cutting head also has wheels to help guide along edges and support the weight of the strimmer. You should find instructions advising the type of trimmer wire most suitable to use with that particular tool.

The large loop handle is comfortable and gives you extra leverage in tight corners, but it’s not designed for edging work. An auto-feed double line trimmer, it cuts beautifully through even thick grass, and with minimal vibration transmitted through to your hands.

Each strimmer has a detailed list of pros and cons for clarity and has been rated according to assembly and storage, handling, performance and value for money. just in case we need it, but we really only use that for brushcutting ( works like a charm, MUCH better/faster than using blades.

It comes with a handy storage hook that can be directly screwed into a shed wall or hung on the Husqvarna’s Storage Rail system, which is a great way to get it up off the floor and save some space. It takes some of the weight of the tool, making it more comfortable to use, and also helps balance it, for better manoeuvrability and a more precise cut.Unlike the nylon line you may be more familiar with using, these solid blades should never be used for the more normal grass trimming tasks. On test it tackled long grass and thin woody weeds on uneven terrain, as well as leaving lawn edges looking neat. To determine what strimmer line thickness to use you need to take into account what type of growth you will be cutting down.
