Product Information

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.

The G-series batteries and the 1.5Ah battery are not compatible with these grass trimmers so you need to be careful if you decide to go down the bare unit route.The noise level is so much lower than a petrol grass trimmer and the vibration levels are also significantly lower. A. No, the G-series batteries are not compatible so you may need to buy a separate battery if you choose the bare tool option. Have you ever used a Makita Cordless Grass Trimmer yourself in the recent past? Did it work as expected or did you come across any problems that we should all know about? 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.
