Brush Cutters – An Invaluable Garden Maintenance Tool

by Felix Smith Business man

Gardening can be a wonderfully relaxing and rewarding hobby, gardeners benefit from some fresh air and exercise, as well as maintaining their beautiful surroundings. In the garden, trimming your lawn is often a weekly task, depending on the season. Modern technology has made this job easier, and there are some brush cutters and strimmer’s available today. Most of the more robust brush cutters and petrol strimmer’s are petrol powered which allows them to be used across wider areas and for accessing hard to reach places.

A brush cutter is usually constructed from lightweight aluminium, with a hollow rod that contains any power cables and controls. The cutting blade is housed in a circular head, with a large lip to protect the user, and the brush cutter should have comfortable handles with good grip support. Most of the more heavy duty strimmer and robust Brush cutters are petrol powered, though light weight electric powered ones are available, these are usually fine for small domestic gardens.

The general design of all brush cutters and strimmer are quite similar though some are lighter and easier to manoeuvre and operate than others. When looking to purchase a brush cutter or strimmer for use in your garden it's worth considering how much use it will get and the kinds of things you will be using it for. If you intend to use it to tidy the edges of a small lawn or to cut small, soft weeds in a small area, then a lightweight electric powered model will probably suffice.

If you have a larger garden requiring more management and maintenance, then petrol powered brush cutters or strimmer’s might be a better option. Petrol strimmer’s tend to be more robustly made, easier to maintain and able to strim hard to reach places in your garden. The Decimator from BesserTrim is an innovative new cutting blade that has been specially designed for petrol powered brush cutters and strimmer’s. The new style blade wears down evenly meaning that it is less prone to snapping dangerously, this more even wear means the blade lasts longer, thus saving you money and time replacing the blade. The Decimator is tough and can cut through the thickest of brush, grasses, weeds and brambles, making short work of your garden and landscape maintenance.
