Product Information

Generally, it seems this model is quieter than competing petrol strimmers, which might make it a bit more ‘neighbour friendly’, especially if you’re fond of working the early mornings or evenings. I hope this article has helped clear up any questions you may have had about buying the best petrol strimmer. In the end, there’s a petrol grass strimmer out there for everyone but you need to be the one to discern which model best fits your situation. Considering that petrol strimmers can be very powerful machines, it’s worth doing a bit of research before getting one, to make sure it’s the best petrol strimmer for you, your garden, and your lifestyle.

The size of the cutting head (measured in cm) is important to consider. If you have a large area needing cut then a bigger cutting width will take less time to do. If you have narrow areas needing attention, you may need to opt for a smaller size to avoid hitting things. There is a bump-feed head that feeds out line, but no brush-cutter blade head; although, again, this makes sense given the type of work it is suited to. Some of the best petrol strimmers for really tough jobs will have a 52 cc engine. Other machines have closer to a 20 cc engine – but which should you be looking for? Having tested several cordless strimmers, the Einhell performed well against competing products at this price range. The Einhell GC-BC 52 I AS petrol brushcutter would be ideal for anyone who has a garden with a lot of obstacles and contours as it’s beautifully accurate and delivers a very neat and precise cut.

It’s also important to consider which cutting head options come with the particular strimmer you’re interested in. If it’s just lawn edging you need to do then a string trimmer will work very well. If it’s tougher material needing taken care of then a brush cutter blade attachment may be necessary. When it comes to trimming and maintaining those awkward corners of the garden, your lawn mower just isn’t going to cut it. While there are a lot of commercial grade petrol trimmers out there, these are often too big and too powerful for the domestic hobby gardener. In short, your choice of brushcutter depends on the size of your garden as well as the density of the vegetation you're hoping to clear. As I have mentioned, this Einhell petrol brushcutter comes with a two in one design. Firstly, you have the 3-toothed metal blade which is great for more heavy-duty tasks. The blade is super accurate and durable, so it’ll get things done the first time, every time.

A petrol strimmer gives you complete freedom to roam so you can cut a very wide area without a cable getting in the way. They last a LOT longer than battery strimmers and are much more powerful. Electric strimmers are really only good for grass trimming whereas petrol strimmers can handle weeds and tough plants like brambles. Here is some useful information to bear in mind before buying a petrol grass trimmer: Petrol Garden Strimmers Vs. Electric StrimmersThe multi-positional engine means you can operate this strimmer at any angle which adds a lot of versatility. Despite it being a heavy duty, powerful option it only weighs 4.6kg so is easy to use. The split shaft design means this can be spilt into two pieces so it’s compact to store and transport. The handy carry bag also makes this a simple option. Many of the best petrol strimmers offer 2-in-1 functionality . They come with two head attachments: a cutting-line head and a brush-cutter head. This improves the tool’s versatility, allowing you to cut an array of vegetation. It’s worth bearing in mind that the more powerful the tool, the heavier it will be. Choose a lighter machine (around 4kg) if you specifically want a lightweight model. Otherwise, for most gardeners, an 8kg strimmer will be sufficiently comfortable . Heavier machines are easier to control if they have a shoulder strap – I thoroughly recommend using one to get the most out of your strimmer. Some of the heaviest models also have bicycle-style handlebars to help with distributing the weight.

As with every battery-powered strimmer, it struggled with longer grass but not to the point where it failed, it just slowed down a bit until I raised it off the ground and completed the task in several passes.
