TUHIMO Buwico Grass Trimmer Line, 3.0mm*41m Nylon Steel-Wire Core Brush Cutter Line Heavy Duty Strimmer String for Over Grown Grass and Weeds

Product Information

Plus, there is some sort of argument about having a head full of metal having more rotational mass, thus possibly causing clutch issues down the road from overworking, esp when used on a smaller trimmer that is much more suitable for every day trimming, as opposed to a larger one that has the ability to use blades (which kills you when used for normal trimming every day..). Line feed and blade replacements. It’s useful if a blade strimmer comes with spare blades, so you don’t run out if one breaks in the middle of a job. You should be able to get a new spool of line for a line strimmer or replace the whole head. With both types it's helpful if the spare blades or line can be stored on the tool.

If the above situation of cutting against hard surfaces is something similar to your own situation you might consider moving up to a medium 1.5 to 2 mm strimmer line. Handling. Looked at comfort, weight, balance and grip, including features like a safety button, the runtime, and noise. Handle types. There are two types of strimmer handles. The most common is a round, circular handle on the shaft of the strimmer, called a loop handle. It makes the strimmer easy and comfortable to control, and on the best models, it can be slid up and down the shaft, so you can adjust it to your height. Alternatively, there are ‘steer’ handles - two handles rather than a loop. These offer more control and let you use a comfortable scything motion when you cut, but they take up room, and can be a little more expensive. They’re also far more common on brushcutters and petrol strimmers than electric or cordless strimmers, so you might not find steer handles on many domestic models. Anything heavier than this is moving up to a commercial grade such as, 3.3 and the 4mm sizes. If Your Strimmer Line Keeps Breaking It's all good until a piece of that wire breaks off. You could be injured or worse yet, you could seriously hurt somebody else. Seems like I've read warnings with new line trimmers that specifically say NOT to use wire.Mainly the type of garden or area that needs to be maintained will determine what type of trimmer you’ll need. Once determined and your trimmer has been chosen then you’re pretty much tied into which line you can use. So choose your equipment wisely.

Construction has commenced on the new multimillion pound headquarters for Avant Tecno UK at Suffolk Business Park in Bury St Edmunds.Cutting head. The cutting head is the most important feature on a strimmer. It should be adjustable, so you can change the angle of the cut to cope with inclines and fiddly jobs. In most models, the head turns 90°, so you can trim along the edges of paths and flowerbeds. In the very best models, the cutting head also has wheels to help guide along edges and support the weight of the strimmer. Blades are designed to do specific tasks. Unlike the nylon line you may be more familiar with using, these solid blades should never be used for the more normal grass trimming tasks. And certainly never used up against walls or trees. My Preferred Method Brambles and Heavy Brush Straps and safety harnesses. A shoulder strap or safety harness is an excellent bonus feature. It takes some of the weight of the tool, making it more comfortable to use, and also helps balance it, for better manoeuvrability and a more precise cut. Hypothetically, you could use a strimmer to cut a lawn, but it would take a long time. Strimmers are much less efficient at this task than lawn mowers, and it’s more difficult to get an even cut.

As to solve your dilemma, we use mostly really small 0.065 line every day. This is enough to cut what you want it to, yet avoid accidental damage. This is much smaller and lighter line than most here would normally use (0.080 is a commonly loved size). We also keep a machine spooled up with 0.130 just in case we need it, but we really only use that for brushcutting ( works like a charm, MUCH better/faster than using blades..). We are always using the 0.065 line for trimming/cleaning up the edges on asphalt and concrete driveways and walkways (I have even cut new garden edges with it) and we still only seem to go through minimal amounts of it. Personally I prefer to use my heavy gauge nylon line on as many of these tough jobs as much as possible before moving up to the metal blades. Even then, this will be done in stages if I had some difficult cutting to do. Often after purchasing your grass strimmer the first question can be, what strimmer line to use with it. It’s even possible you have gone ahead and bought the wrong type for your needs Don't these things have to have been tested and certified as being suitable for purpose? Personally I can only see this ending very badly for you or some poor member of the public!!Founded in 2008. The Landscape Juice Network (LJN) is the largest and fastest growing professional landscaping and horticultural association in the United Kingdom. Attempting to clear a rough area of long grass and heavy tough weeds will only succeed in destroying your equipment if not designed for such work. If light trimming wire were to be used, you would be spending most of your time stopping and starting due to broken and tangled line. Getting the best strimmer means ensuring it has the right features, weight and price for you. We've tested a range of cordless and corded strimmers, putting them through their paces across arange of grass and terrains, to help you find the right one for your garden. If you do not fabricate a cage around it, you will hurt something or someone really bad. And if you build a cage around it, you can't use it to trim so I would really dig into the negative scenarios a little more before going to the patent office with this one.

HSE have partially looked at this area (in particular the use of chains on strimmers) and there final parting line was : ".....users should discontinue use of any non-standard metal cutting accessory immediately and consult the brush cutter manufacturer for guidance."

You will need to choose blades that will be suitable for your particular machine as there are differences. Stihl replacement blades are very different from those used on Bosch trimmers. Even Bosch have different blades for their ART 23-18 LI grass strimmer’s from their ART26LI and ART26 Accutrim models. For an example take a look at the Art 23 versions here. The ART 23-18 LI Plastic Blades
