That said, this made short work of grass, weeds and even had a good go at some thinner shrub areas, so power is plentiful and the AK10 battery it comes with lasts about 25 minutes on a full charge.īuy the Stihl FSA 57 with battery pack and charger at Amazonĭespite being relatively new to lawn maintenance, famed pressure washer brand Kärcher has got off to a very good start with its LTR battery grass trimmers. There’s a bump feed for the 1.6mm spool, which can be swapped out for thicker lines if you need. That head isn’t adjustable but this entire tool is so light you can just flip it and use it for edging as well as trimming. It’s actually easier to handle with the battery in as its weight counterbalances the head against the adjustable loop handle. The ergonomic design helps too with that adjustable shaft and lightweight build at 2.7kg without battery (3.5kg with). It runs smoothly so there's no numbing or even tiring of limbs while working, something you sort of expect from most models. This model ran super quietly and with minimal vibrations making it not only comfortable to use for us, but for our neighbours to experience too, or not experience, in this case. The standout feature of this model is the noise, or more accurately, the lack of it. That’s no different with the FSA 57 grass trimmer that runs on the company’s swappable batteries. Stihl has gone from one of the most famous and reliable petrol garden tool manufacturers to one of the leaders in powerful and high-performance battery-powered kit. And the three-year guarantee is the cherry on top.īuy the Ryobi OLT1832 18V One+ Grass Trimmer at Amazon The fact that it’s a chipper lime green colour, which brightens up the shed, is just a tasty bonus. Take a little pressure off the power trigger and the spool feeds more line through – this was a truly brilliant feature that made the job non-stop, reducing battery usage and, of course, getting it done sooner. We found it split a fair amount – mainly because we were heavy handed near stone edges – but that wasn’t an issue thanks to the auto feed. Yes, it’ll tackle strimming or edging of grass just fine, but it’ll also deal with weeds and even thinner brush thanks to that 1.6mm cord that can be adjusted between 25 and 30cm of reach. When it comes to performance this strimmer is a real all-rounder. ![]() Crucially this meant we could get into usually awkward places without much effort, certainly a lot less than a corded model would demand. There’s even an adjustable and rubberised pommel handle that makes it comfy and easy and to spread the load across two hands. The telescopic head can be angled in three ways, which uses one big button that we found very easy to use.Ĭhanging between edging and trimming is also a quick one-switch move. Thanks to a lightweight build, at 2.3kg without the battery (2.7kg with), this strimmer features lots of clever adjustable settings. ![]()
