Product Information

Some people understandably get put off petrol machines because they require more to be done prior to starting than electric tools. They can be relatively limited in terms of what they can strim through. As previously mentioned, battery-powered strimmers aren’t the best choice for bigger garden-clearance tasks.

The multi-positional engine means you can operate this strimmer at any angle which adds a lot of versatility. Despite it being a heavy duty, powerful option it only weighs 4.6kg so is easy to use. The split shaft design means this can be spilt into two pieces so it’s compact to store and transport. The handy carry bag also makes this a simple option.The power of the engine dictates how efficiently the strimmer cuts through grass and other plant material. A more powerful engine will reduce the take and effort needed to strim a given area. It’s important to weigh up the displacement that is measured in CC. This is an indication of how much air and fuel the cylinder digests so a higher CC ultimately produces more power. There’s another factor as well as CC to consider. A 2 stoke vs 4 stroke engine. A 2 stroke engine may give you more raw power but a 4 stroke engine with the same CC is more fuel-efficient. Whether you’re struggling with overgrown grass, shrubbery, weeds or brambles, investing in a petrol grass trimmer is one of the best ways to keep your garden under control. However, if there’s one thing that lets the Einhell GC-BC 52 I AS petrol brushcutter down, it’s the fact that the handle isn’t padded and is therefore not the most comfortable thing I’ve ever used (so wear a good pair of padded gloves). Yes, the controls are within easy reach, but I think Einhell could have gone a little further when considering the handle design. It might seem like a non-issue but when you’re using the tool for a long time, you’ll be thankful for a comfortable handle. Accessories I hope this article has helped clear up any questions you may have had about buying the best petrol strimmer. In the end, there’s a petrol grass strimmer out there for everyone but you need to be the one to discern which model best fits your situation. Despite having a 25 cc engine, at only 3.9kg it’s the best lightweight petrol strimmer on our list. For those who are worried about managing heavier weights, but still want something with plenty of power, it’s a great option.

There’s a brush cutting blade included as well as an auto-release line head, but you might not even find yourself using the blade much as it’s powerful with the line alone. As tools go, strimmers are up there with the most useful and versatile, plus, both the cost of purchasing and maintaining a petrol strimmer is pretty low. Whereas some multi-function tools can do a lot but are not very good at anything this model is an exception to that rule. For the enthusiastic gardener, this tool will cover a large area and variety of tasks with ease and you’ll save hundreds of pounds by not buying these tools separately.
