A bump feed mechanism pushes out the line when you tap the thread head on the ground. The shaft can be split in half for ease of transport and storage and the design of the adjustable handle is one that is very compact and space-saving. Instead of bike style handlebars, or large cow horns, McCulloch has opted for a small, triangular-shaped loop handle and it is padded and comfortable.

When it comes to petrol-powered strimmers, there is still quite a lot of variation amongst them in terms of engine power output. Well, the answer I always give is: you need both, as they complement each other so well. Lawnmowers do the things that strimmers aren’t really suited for and vice versa. Strimmers come in various shapes and sizes and have a pretty wide price range, but there are only two main categories – petrol and electric powered garden strimmers. In this article, I’ll be reviewing the best petrol strimmers out there on the UK market at this time for a selection of budgets. What is a petrol strimmer?Stihl is a common choice of petrol strimmer for professional gardeners. Chosen for their superb reliability, and outstanding build quality, they are the products to go for if you don’t mind spending the money. Some people understandably get put off petrol machines because they require more to be done prior to starting than electric tools. A couple of years ago it was still possible to make a case for the petrol strimmer. With breakthroughs in battery technology, the gap has narrowed until now the benefit of a petrol strimmer only applies to professional lawn care specialists, who use their strimmers for hours on end every day. Can you use a petrol strimmer on wet grass? If you’re only concerned with trimming the edges of lawns and flower beds, strips of grass too narrow for a lawn mower, and around the bases of shrubs, tree trunks and potted plants, then a basic, entry-level strimmer is all you need. The handle position is also adjustable, so users of different heights can find the position that is most suitable, and the engine also starts relatively easily which will reduce fatigue from pulling the engine cord.

Talking about the included attachments, the grass trimmer has a bump feed line advance mechanism. So, you can continue to trim the grasses after a simple bump on the ground. It also has a safety guard that protects you from debris. Just a nice little safety feature to have and means you cant start this without really meaning to. Double Action Trigger V20 Battery & RuntimeAs with most things, this robustness comes at a price and the price is an increase in weight when compared to plastic only models. Don’t let that put you off, it’s light enough for almost all to handle. With a bit of adjustment, the harness that comes with the strimmer helps to make the machine feel lighter than its 9.15kg. The handlebar design helps to keep the weight load spread out evenly too. If you need a lighter machine, there are options available such as the 3.9 kg McCulloch Trimmac Trimmer. Of course, the weight always increases a little after fuel has gone in as well. The downside of a lighter strimmer is that they can vibrate a lot, and they won’t be able to do the same tasks as more powerful and heavy models. That said, they are a good compromise if you want the power of petrol but are worried about manageability. You don’t drive a brand-new car off the lot and start doing handbrake turns. Machines need to be broken in. Give them small tasks to begin with, get used to their eccentricities and foibles and then ramp up to the big stuff. Hyundai HYMT5200X is a compact gardening tool that saves you from investing on multiple maintenance products. It’s also a space saver because you don’t need open space to secure five different tools. Using an extension shaft worth 800 mm, you can easily reach tall branches and get the required shape on high hedges. It also has a high-quality twin-line spool with a jogging system that automatically adjusts the thread.
