The Cobra GT600E is a high performance electric Trimmer
An electric grass strimmer (sometimes called a string trimmer) uses a powered line or blade to trim grass and weeds in areas a mower can’t reach, like edges, around trees or along walls. Electric brushcutters are similar but often more heavy-duty for tougher vegetation. They plug into a mains socket and run off electricity, giving consistent power while connected.
Electric strimmers are lighter, quieter and produce no direct emissions, making them ideal for domestic gardens. Because they use mains power, you don’t need to worry about batteries running out, fuel mixing or complex maintenance. If you want some more in depth information on the difference read here.
When choosing a grass trimmer or brushcutter, look at the power, cutting width, and head type. More powerful motors are better suited to tackling thicker grass and tougher weeds, while wider cutting widths allow you to cover larger areas quicker. The head or line type also makes a difference.Â
Nylon line heads are ideal for general trimming tasks, whereas heavier-duty brushcutters fitted with blades are better for dense vegetation and overgrowth. It’s also important to consider ergonomics and weight, particularly if you’ll be working for longer periods, as a well-balanced, comfortable machine can make a big difference.
Standard electric strimmers are excellent for grass trimming and edging and can handle light weeds. For thicker or more fibrous vegetation, look for models with a more robust brushcutter head or stronger motor, as lightweight line-only units may struggle.
Always follow basic safety practices when using garden power tools. Wear protective goggles, gloves, and sturdy footwear to reduce the risk of injury. Make sure the cord and connections are in good condition and properly rated for outdoor use before switching on the tool. Avoid operating equipment in wet conditions, and always disconnect it from the power supply before carrying out any cleaning or maintenance.
