Hand trimmers are an important part of the gardening arsenal. However, a large number of tools on the market can cause some difficulty for the beginner in choosing. There is a big difference between a light garden trimmer for ordinary grass and a heavy industrial shrub trimmer. The former is suitable for mowing vegetation and weeds around the garden, while the latter is designed for quick clearing of dense overgrowth and undergrowth on undeveloped land.

Electric versions are designed for owners of small cottages and garden plots who do not want to spend extra time on their maintenance. These handy and maneuverable machines are easy to operate, and even inexperienced gardeners can achieve impressive results with them without training.

How to choose a good hedge trimmer?

For large areas or difficult lawns, tethering the tool to a power outlet is inconvenient. In these conditions, wireless trimmers are the solution.

These tools are equipped with lightweight, long-life lithium-ion batteries to ensure effective trimming, even in difficult situations. Cordless grass trimmers will give the owner the freedom of movement that is required to work in a large area. An important advantage is the absence of the extra hassle and expense that accompanies the operation of a gasoline-powered machine. Cordless models do not come with a blade and therefore are designed only for mowing lawns and low grass.
