Common questions
Questions before you buy
Can a cordless strimmer use a blade?
Only when the manufacturer approves a blade for that exact model and supplies the required guard and instructions.
What is the difference between a bladed strimmer and a string trimmer?
A string trimmer cuts with flexible line; a bladed tool uses a rigid cutting attachment approved for its power head and guard.
Which blade should I use on a battery brush cutter?
Use only the blade type and size specified in the tool manual. Compatibility and intended vegetation vary by model.
Is a bladed cordless trimmer safe around rocks?
Rigid blades can throw debris on impact. Follow the manual, wear its required protective equipment and keep bystanders clear.
