Grass trimmer

A well-groomed lawn in front of the house is the real pride of its owner. Proper watering, choice of grass variety - only half the case, because the accuracy of the lawn will largely depend on the timely haircuts. If a site planted with grass, a small or bulky lawnmower seems uncomfortable, there is always a grass trimmer.

Types of grass trimmers

All existing models are primarily divided according to the type of supply. Adherents of both types have enough, and each will have their own arguments in favor of the selected equipment:

  1. If for you the important criterion is maneuverability or mobility of work, then it is worthwhile to think about buying a gasoline model . A small tank is provided in the structure. This is an excellent solution for large areas, when tying to the cord well is very inconvenient. The gas trimmer for grass has a serious torque, which makes it possible to remove not only the grass, but even small shrubs. For residents of rural areas and breeders of rabbits or similar animals, the petrol model will be convenient: you will be able to stay in the field for the whole day in the process of harvesting hay for the winter. It is important to note that the price of such pleasure can double the price of similar electrical equipment.
  2. Trimmer on the battery for grass is another rather manoeuvrable option. The battery will work without interruption for about an hour and a half. Next, you need to charge the device. If you spend two batteries at once, it will go much more fun. Trimmer on a grass battery is also not a budget solution. If you decide to find an inexpensive model for batteries, it will cost you the same amount as a good model with power from the network. Therefore, it is worthwhile to think carefully about the expediency of buying a budget model. In cold weather or shallow rain, it is strictly forbidden to work with battery technology. The budget model always has a small capacity, which makes it possible to use only a fishing line for cutting, it is not possible to build a disk system here.
  3. Mini grass trimmer, working from the network, for all its shortcomings is quite in demand. Yes, you are tied with a wire, but it sometimes hinders. But at the same time the technique works at times more quietly, it weighs a little, and even for the middle section its capacity is quite enough. A mini grass trimmer will be much cheaper than a gasoline or battery analog.

Selecting a grass trimmer

Any of the above models is equipped with a cutting tool system. As such an instrument, either metal disk knives or a thick fishing line are used. Each tool has its own thickness of fishing line, from which you are free to choose the right one for yourself. For obvious reasons, we will work only with grass.

Rough grass, a small shrub is able to remove the disk knife. Since the cutting tool itself is quite powerful, it is most often installed on gasoline models, when the work is expected to be large.

Pay attention to the shape of the handle itself. Such moments can not be ignored, because the convenience of working directly affects its effectiveness. There are handles with a D-shaped and T-shaped handle. The first is convenient for small areas, it can be called a light trimmer for women for grass, where the work is relatively small. When you have to work with large areas and complex terrain, it is recommended to use the T-handle.

Be sure to ask if the selected model has a vibration damper. For long-term work this moment is important. For hard-to-reach places it is not bad to be able to extend the handle. Telescopic bar is here by the way.
