Grass Trimmers
There are three main types of grass trimmers to consider when looking to buy, these consist of petrol trimmer, cordless, and the electric cable variety.
The gas type grass trimmers are more of a heavy duty style, this means they are ideal for long heavy thick grass or weeds that need trimming down.
The one big advantage they offer is there is no need to run electrical extension cables around, which you would need to do with electric cable grass trimmers, this makes them more versatile in the operation of trimming your foliage.
However there are some drawbacks to the gas type of grass trimmers, one is the actual weight of the unit can be considerably heavier than the electric due to the engine required for it to operate.
Two other things to consider before buying petrol grass trimmers is they do produce some noise when in operation, plus they also produce exhaust fumes which you do not want to breath in when using the machine.
The electric cable type grass trimmers make less noise and are slightly lighter to use, they are also a slightly cheaper product than the petrol type.
But there is extra expense to consider with this type of product, you will have to purchase electric extension cables so your machine will reach the length of your outdoor area.
There is an alternative to both these types of grass trimmers on the market, this is the cordless variety that works of a battery that fastens round your waste or you can get one that has the power pack fitted to the machine.
These types of grass trimmers are ideal if you have an average sized area that needs trimming, they are very light and easy to operate anywhere.
You will probably get around 30 minutes cutting time on one charge of the battery, once the battery has run out it usually takes three to five hours to recharge back up to full power.
With this amount of cutting time available it should be plenty of time to go round the edge of your lawn and trim of the excess and get rid of those weeds.
There is one thing you can do to double the cutting time of the grass trimmers, that is make sure you get two new batteries when you purchase your trimmer, this permits you to charge one battery up while you are using the other one to cut.
These types of grass trimmers can be among some of the cheaper versions available on the market today, they have become a very popular product due to the ease of use and versatility that is incorporated in there design.
