Mountfield MM2603 3 in 1 Garden Multi-Tool, Grass Trimmer, long reach hedge Trimmer and Brushcutter, Petrol Engine

Product Information

Petrol-powered strimmers are generally quite heavy – often over 10 kg – which can be quite difficult to support whilst doing longer jobs, even if a harness is included. Battery strimmers are both cordless and lightweight, unlike petrol strimmers which are cordless but heavy. In general, there’s a lot to say about the design of this cordless grass trimmer – it’s all been very cleverly thought out. Just about everything is adjustable – the handle, the head, and even the cutting width (25 cm or 30 cm), which is a feature that most other cordless strimmers don’t offer. The two-stroke engine starts relatively easily and requires a combination of petrol and oil, and you should consider using ear protection as well – it’s quite a noisy machine.

Reliability: It’s also possible to adjust the height and angle of the handlebars to make them better suited to the height and preferences of different users.You’ll need to choose between two types of cutting mechanism: cutting line or cutting blades. Choose cutting blades for convenience . Particularly if you’ve grown tired of feeding the cutting line through when it breaks. Cutting blades need to be changed after every few hours of use. At 10.7 kg, this is one of the heavier petrol strimmers featured here, but there are a couple of things that help make it more comfortable. Primarily, there is a decent harness included that is more than just a single shoulder strap; it’s adjustable, with padded coverings and should distribute the weight well. It weighs 8.9 kg and has handlebar-style handles to provide a good grip on the strimmer – especially useful when working through tougher terrain; however, the harness could be of better quality to help more securely distribute the weight. Protective clothing such as ear defenders for louder motors with more power can be useful, particularly if the job is going to take a while. This is particularly relevant for a petrol strimmer, but certain electric trimmers can also be very loud. Overall, there’s no denying that this strimmer’s design is impressive. Granted, at first glance, it may not look particularly exceptional, but take a closer look and you’ll see that numerous features have been crammed into this compact tool.

A cutting style that you get on with – as mentioned above, strimmers can use either cutting line or cutting blades. Keep this in mind when shopping, and decide if you’re more comfortable (physically and economically speaking) replacing wire or blades when it wears out. As the line wears down, new line needs to be fed into the cutting head from the spool. Sometimes this is done manually, but most cordless trimmers have a system in place to make this process automatic or semi-automatic. From its colours and design to its numerous features, everything about this grass strimmer screams Bosch. In my eyes, that’s a good thing – this is a brand that has a solid reputation for quality and reliability.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. If you need a lighter machine, there are options available such as the 3.9 kg McCulloch Trimmac Trimmer. Of course, the weight always increases a little after fuel has gone in as well. The downside of a lighter strimmer is that they can vibrate a lot, and they won’t be able to do the same tasks as more powerful and heavy models. That said, they are a good compromise if you want the power of petrol but are worried about manageability.
