TUHIMO Buwico Grass Trimmer Line, 3.0mm*41m Nylon Steel-Wire Core Brush Cutter Line Heavy Duty Strimmer String for Over Grown Grass and Weeds

Product Information

Handle types. There are two types of strimmer handles. The most common is a round, circular handle on the shaft of the strimmer, called a loop handle. 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. Alternatively, there are ‘steer’ handles - two handles rather than a loop. These offer more control and let you use a comfortable scything motion when you cut, but they take up room, and can be a little more expensive. 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. Below are some common types of heavy-duty nylon lines that are particularly reliable and effective: With advances in technology, cordless models can now run for much longer and can cut larger areas versus older models. Although we state the runtime you can get from your tool where possible, in real world use there are a number of factors that influence the runtime and more information on this can be found here.

That’s right, you will also find blade strimmers on the market. Although they don’t have the same popularity as line or cordless string strimmers, they have a number of benefits. Firstly, compared to plastic lines, blades are much tougher and therefore more durable. If you’ve used a line strimmer, you’ll know that the plastic can break, and this leads to constantly feeding new lines through. With blades, this simply isn’t a problem. One of the most significant hazards of using wire in your string trimmer is the risk of physical injuries to the user. Compared to string trimmer lines, steel wires are more rigid and prone to breakage, making them more likely to fling debris out in all directions. When choosing your grass trimmer or brushcutter, look out for these technical specifications. Cutting systems If you have a large garden or patch of land, or plan to trim far away from your house, consider an option that doesn’t have to be plugged into the mains, giving greater freedom of use and movement. Similarly, a lightweight option will help you stay comfortable for the duration of the task.

The Risks of Using Metal Wire in Your String Trimmer

If you've opted for a corded electric grass trimmer or brushcutter, you'll have to keep an eye on the cable when trimming. For greater reach and mobility, opt for ones with the longest cable length available. Ours span up to 10m in length. Weight Although this strimmer head is compatible with a lot of strimmers, it is quite large and needs to be used with machine with sufficient power; it will fit most straight shaft strimmers over 33 cc. There’s no need to take the head apart to secure it in place and it is easy to fit with the five screws provided. To bring our list of recommendations to a close, we want to suggest this Ryobi product. Although slightly more expensive than others, it offers a double function. On the one hand, the grass trimmer spool uses a line. On the other, you’ll have a powerful brush cutter blade. Whatever task lays ahead, you’ll always have the right help, and this is a huge advantage. Once you couple this with a powerful 1200W motor, you shouldn’t even have problems with wet or long grass. Electric corded strimmers. Corded strimmers use a power cable connected to mains electricity. 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. They’re also more dangerous than cordless strimmers because you run the risk of accidentally cutting the cable.

Although it is only intended for use with Trueshopping strimmers, it fits other models as well; however, it’s difficult to know which ones exactly without trying it, therefore there is a bit of risk involved if your strimmer isn’t from Trueshopping. Straps and safety harnesses. A shoulder strap or safety harness is an excellent bonus feature. 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. When it comes to useful gardening tools, a strimmer is certainly up there. But the story doesn’t end there, and there are additional accessories that can alter the effectiveness of a strimmer. For the enthusiastic amateur, we carry the whole range of polyamide plastic Stihl Strimmer lines. But don’t worry if you are a professional, there are also the Oregon Nylium Starline strimmer lines, made from reinforced nylon for added cutting power. All of the strimmer lines have added features such as aluminium particle additives, or five sided profiles, to make them much more durable, resistant to abrasions, melt-proof, and break-proof. This makes it one of the best strimmer heads if you’re looking for an easy way to load line – quite a relief, given that this process can be far from easy on other models.This large Oregon Professional Strimmer Head is a great choice for anyone who struggles to load line into their current strimmer. It’s also a sturdy strimmer head that is simple to attach to compatible models. Automatic mechanisms can be particularly inconvenient if you are using a cordless strimmer because you will likely turn the unit off while you move around the garden to conserve battery. This is problematic if more line is released each time it’s turned on. When it comes to the line feed mechanism, you’ll have to choose whether you want an automatic feed, bump feed or manual feed. If you’re working on a budget, choose a manual or bump feed strimmer head. These ensure you won’t use more strimmer line than you need. Because of its price, this is one of the best strimmer heads to buy on a budget; however, there are some caveats to go with it.

Some strimmer heads are compatible with both round and square line, whilst others are specific to one type. An automatic-feed strimmer head is useful if you don’t want to keep bending down and don’t like bump-feed mechanisms. This can make strimming more comfortable for a range of people.Integrated into a second handle, you also have a compartment for 20 plastic blades (which all come with the product). For those with a slightly larger garden, the handle is soft, and this is a feature we often forget to consider. With a soft handle, your hands shouldn’t ache or experience pain after long gardening sessions. If you don’t have access to an outdoor power source or have a larger garden where an extension cable simply is not practical, then a cordless trimmer or brushcutter could be perfect for you. Cordless models offer many of the benefits of corded models, being lightweight, easy to use and maintain, but offer the freedom of petrol, making them ideal for a variety of garden sizes. They are also the most environmentally friendly power type as you do not generate any emissions and do not need mains power supply. The high-speed rotation of the spinning head can also cause the steel cable to break up and become dangerous projectiles, posing a severe safety risk. Damage To Property As the cutting line is used, it wears down. New cutting line needs to be fed into the head from the spool, and there are a few different ways strimmer heads can do this.
