Are electric or battery line trimmers any good?
Battery powered electric garden tools or electric tools with battery systems and skins, are flooding the market and are taking market share from their petrol predecessors.
They are positioned as a cleaner alternative to petrol trimmers (which is true if charged with renewable power) and they have a range of other benefits including ease of use (telescopic shaft, adjustable heads and bump feed), lightweight (meaning even the smallest family member can start it and give it a go) and adaptable as part of a wider product family (e.g. when using a makita, bosch or ryobi battery system). But the question remains, are electric line trimmers any good?
The answer is they trim but your context is the key to whether they are useful for you or not. They are effective in urban situations; small properties with limited weed or grass needing to be trimmed. More fibrous grasses and weeds can be time consuming to remove. They are effective at edging the sides of paths and tidying fence lines but they do lack the grunt of a petrol model.
In situations that need thick brush cut down or vast amounts of brush cut down the petrol trimmers are superior. Petrol trimmers suit more heavy duty contexts and will make the trimming faster (despite being slightly more time consuming to get up and running).
With that being said, new 36V systems are on the market, they boast more ticker if you need that for your context.
For me they electric trimmer works but I am on a small block and gets a limited work out but the petrol trimmer is still in the garage just in case.
