A petrol brushcutter or grass strimmer is a powerful garden tool driven by a petrol engine that spins a cutting head, either nylon line or metal blade, to trim grass, weeds, and tougher vegetation where a mower can’t reach. They’re ideal for large gardens and heavy-duty jobs.
Choose based on your garden size and vegetation type. Smaller engines (~25 cc) suit regular trimming and grass edges, while larger engines (~40-50 cc+) handle thick grass, undergrowth, and brambles. Brushcutter heads are best for tougher jobs, while line heads are great for edges and lighter work.
Most petrol models require a mix of unleaded petrol and two-stroke engine oil at the ratio recommended by the manufacturer (often around 40:1 or 50:1). Always use fresh fuel and correct oil type for reliable starting and to avoid damage.
Regular maintenance helps keep your tool running smoothly and extends its lifespan. After each use, clean the cutting head and guards to prevent debris build-up. Check and clean the air filter regularly to maintain good performance, and inspect the spark plug, replacing it if it shows signs of wear.
Always use fresh fuel and ensure it is mixed correctly where required. For long-term reliability, carry out a more in-depth annual service yourself or have the tool serviced by a professional dealer if needed.
Always wear eye protection, ear defenders, gloves and sturdy footwear. Clear the area of debris before cutting, never operate in wet conditions, and keep bystanders well away to avoid injury from flying objects.
