Grass Trimmer Buying Guide

A grass trimmer is a handheld gadget used for cutting grass and other plants. It will help you maintain a neat and tidy lawn or garden. It is essential that you the pick the right grass trimmer that will help you ease your work rather than burden you with extra effort.

Features of a Grass Trimmer

A grass trimmer has a flexible monofilament line instead of a blade and a cutting head at the end of a long shaft. On the opposite end of the shaft from the cutting head is an internal combustion engine. The grass trimmer can be held firmly while trimming the grass with the help of a handle, or sometimes, a shoulder strap.

Trimmers that have nylon or metal blades usually have straight drive shafts. Smaller line trimmers have curved drive shafts to make holding the cutting-head at ground level much easier and with less strain.

Types of Grass Trimmers

  • Electric Edge Trimmers: They are light and easy to manoeuvre but the length of the power chord can limit their usage across large grounds.You can buy electric extension cables so that the trimmer will reach the length of your garden.
  • Battery-powered Trimmers: Free of a power cord, these battery-powered trimmers have a distinct edge over electric trimmers. However, their battery makes them heavier than electric trimmers.
  • Gasoline-engine Powered Trimmers: Not attached to a power outlet, these trimmers are highly mobile. The head contains a safety shield on the user side and a rotating hub or spool.
  • Large Trimmers or Brush Cutters: Suspended by a harness, this is a two-hand-controlled device used for cutting roadside grass in large areas.
