There is a large selection of lawn trimmers today. Meanwhile, many modern devices are on the market. Before buying, you should inform yourself about the different characteristics of lawn trimmers. In the past, they became common grass trimmer used, which were operated with gasoline and were very loud. The noise development was often between 150 and 160 db (A). Therefore, many garden owners used power or battery powered trimmers. In the well-stocked specialist market you get nowadays also gasoline powered grass trimmer who work relatively quietly and yet efficiently. For the quiet trimmers the noise is only about 80 to 90 db (A). This is a very good performance compared to the conventional devices.

The quiet devices are a bit more expensive compared to the previous, noisy devices. Over time, however, the price level will also adjust here. When using modern equipment can even on one ear protectionbe waived.

mass grass trimmer

Grass trimmers that are powered by electricity or battery weigh between 2 to 3 kilograms. A gasoline lawn trimmer can weigh about 5 to 8 kilograms in comparison. The less weight the device has, the better and easier it is for the user. With a heavy device it is not so easy to remove it from its holder. The weight then has a negative effect on the operability, especially in untrained persons. With one hand must the grass trimmer held, with the other the circuit operated. After several hours of work, this can lead to painful wrists or arms. Today, manufacturers are increasingly paying attention to producing particularly lightweight electric, gasoline or battery trimmers, thereby significantly increasing user-friendliness. It makes a big difference, whether with a 1 kilogram lightweight or a 5 kilogram heavy one grass trimmer is working. By using lightweight devices, spinal discs and back are spared.

Tips for buying a lawn trimmer

Cordless lawn trimmers have been available on the market for many years. Compared to gasoline and electric trimmers, however, cordless tools often have difficulty rotating the yarn with sufficient force due to their low force. This makes it difficult to trim blades of grass. Too weak thread rotation leads to uneven cutting of lawn edges. Some areas can not even be cut. The quality of grass trimmers is mainly based on the rotational power, the power and the energy of the thread.

If you choose a lawn trimmer with cordless tool, the performance should be at least 10,000 revolutions per minute. There are today some lawn trimmer models from well-known brands that are operated with battery, but are wireless and convince with very good performance.

A problem that is quite common in lawn trimmers is the tearing of the thread. This can show signs of wear after an appropriate period of use. It may now be necessary, depending on the model, to install a new thread head. This conversion is quite expensive. Modern thread heads have the advantage that the new thread does not have to be threaded individually. There are special bobbins that make the tedious threading unnecessary. The insertion of the new coil, however, is relatively expensive and must be repeated after a certain time. The latest innovations in the field of lawn trimmers include double-track grass trimmers. They are expensive in price than classic trimmers, but also offer advantages. If one of the threads breaks or breaks, the second thread is to be activated immediately by pressing a button. So the work can go on after a short time. The modern two-thread technology also ensures a longer life of the lawn trimmer.

There are now many different grass trimmers from well-known manufacturers such as Bosch, Black + Decker, Makita etc.

The grass trimmer Black + Decker with 550 watts works particularly powerful and has a cutting width of 30 cm. This guarantees faster work progress. Even wet or tall grass can be quickly cut without blockages thanks to the E-Drive drive. In addition, a tool-free, simple change from edge trimming to trimming is possible. A guide wheel ensures optimum lawn edges. During edge trimming, the device reduces the speed, allowing for precise and controlled work. The grass trimmer can be adjusted to the height of the user thanks to the height-adjustable telescopic handle.
