About this deal

Anything heavier than this is moving up to a commercial grade such as, 3.3 and the 4mm sizes. If Your Strimmer Line Keeps Breaking

Moving on to commercial use there is a selection ranging from 3.3 to 4mm sizes mentioned earlier. These include serrated, twisted and also brush cutter blades. These will make light work of undergrowth such as brambles and thistles etc. Learn more about the strimmer blades available in this post. What Strimmer Line to Use – Just Common Sense If the area being strimmed should become more difficult with the presence of heavy brush such as woody growth consisting of shrubs and young saplings then I would fit the saw toothed type blade. The sawing action will eat its way through this material providing of course the blade is sharp. Selection of Strimmer Blades Hypothetically, you could use a strimmer to cut a lawn, but it would take a long time. Strimmers are much less efficient at this task than lawn mowers, and it’s more difficult to get an even cut. Anything heavier such as long tough overgrown areas of grass, nettles and other tough weeds will be best trimmed with a heavy duty petrol strimmer. Preferably fitted with something like 2.4mm strimmer line up to 3mm heavy duty type. Metal blades come in a variety of shapes. The most common are the 3 arm versions and the multi-teeth type which resemble a circular saw. See a popular example here which is the Silverline 675319 strimmer blade.

As you might imagine, it would need to be a more powerful type of strimmer to drive a metal blade and at a speed fast enough to cut through the type of growth mentioned above. That power could only be supplied by a petrol powered strimmer. These machines will work away for hours day after day no problem. 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.

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.

Cutting head. The cutting head is the most important feature on a strimmer. It should be adjustable, so you can change the angle of the cut to cope with inclines and fiddly jobs. In most models, the head turns 90°, so you can trim along the edges of paths and flowerbeds. In the very best models, the cutting head also has wheels to help guide along edges and support the weight of the strimmer. This is a lightweight and powerful cordless strimmer with a telescopic shaft. Even with the large 4.0 Ah battery installed, it weighs just 3 kg, which earns it a BBC Gardeners’ World Magazine Best Buy for large areas.

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..). You will need to choose blades that will be suitable for your particular machine as there are differences. Stihl replacement blades are very different from those used on Bosch trimmers. Even Bosch have different blades for their ART 23-18 LI grass strimmer’s from their ART26LI and ART26 Accutrim models. For an example take a look at the Art 23 versions here. The ART 23-18 LI Plastic Blades

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. There are many choices of line available to us these days. They come in various colours, shapes and sizes. In fact enough to make the head spin for those just getting into using a grass trimmer.

Along with the pre-loaded stimming head they also provide 3 blades for cutting those tough brambles etc. I’m thinking this powerful tool could be used for many commercial situations and comes in at a very competitive price.

Personally I prefer to use my heavy gauge nylon line on as many of these tough jobs as much as possible before moving up to the metal blades. Even then, this will be done in stages if I had some difficult cutting to do. Often after purchasing your grass strimmer the first question can be, what strimmer line to use with it. It’s even possible you have gone ahead and bought the wrong type for your needs This heavier gauge would also be suitable to maintain areas that have longer grasses and weeds to keep in trim. That being said it’s always a good idea to know what particular one will be best to work with your equipment and what you intend to trim down.
