Frequently asked questions
- Should I choose a corded, cordless or petrol strimmer?
- Corded suits small gardens near a socket, cordless offers freedom for medium plots, and petrol provides the most power and reach for large or overgrown areas.
- What is the difference between a strimmer and a brushcutter?
- Strimmers cut grass and light weeds with nylon line. Brushcutters take metal blades and handle thicker brush, brambles and dense undergrowth that line cannot manage.
- How do I deal with running out of line?
- Most models use a bump-feed or automatic-feed head that releases more line as it wears. Carry spare line and refill the spool when it empties.
