Product Information

Be careful around fences, plant pots, garden walls and sculptures - hitting hard things will mean you’ll go through trimmer line really quickly as well as potentially take a chunk out of whatever you hit. Without getting embroiled in the physics, a strimmer utilises high speed centrifugal force to do all the cutting - essentially the faster it spins, the stiffer the line, the greater the cutting potential.

Also known as grass trimmers, weed-whackers, line trimmers and string trimmers, these versatile tools are perfect for creating beautifully uniformed boarder edges, trimming around difficult terrain such as trees and garden ornaments, as well as clearing larger patches of unruly rough vegetation.
