Petrol strimmers are now considered must-have tools by homeowners with gardens and lawns to maintain. Since lawn mowers cannot always reach weeds, petrol strimmers are needed to finish the job. With the wide range of choices in the market, it’s quite difficult to find a brand or a model without getting overwhelmed. But wait, before you pick up the one you see off the bat, try to analyze your reasons first. What type of garden do you maintain? Will you need to do heavy maintenance or just standard ones? Are you a professional who uses petrol strimmers every day? These are the questions that you need to be asking yourself before going shopping.
Obviously, if you do lawn and garden maintenance for a living, investing on heavy-duty, therefore expensive, petrol strimmers should be a priority. Honda is recommended for professionals by fellow professionals. Honda’s line of petrol strimmers has received the most approval from customers. Although it costs more than 300 dollars, customer satisfaction has always been more than 90%. The latest model is the Honda UMS 425 LE Petrol Strimmer which is said to be quiet and user-friendly with its GX 25 mini 4-stroke engine and D-loop handle. It has an engine size of 25cc and a fuel and oil capacity of 0.55 liters and 0.08 liters respectively. With a maximum power output of 1 hp, this model is at the top of the tier of petrol strimmers for professionals.
Another brand that is boasting of positive reviews from consumers and professionals is Stihl. This German company is said to be the number one provider of power tools including petrol strimmers. One model, the Stihl 2-stroke petrol strimmer, for example, is a bestseller and can last for decades. With a fuel capacity of 0.34 liters and an Auto-cut mowing head blade, this model claims to operate efficiently and conveniently. It even has a very basic procedure for starting, making it easy on the hands. Its 2-stroke engine is designed to allow faster acceleration while maintaining low emissions and reduced consumption of fuel. Even spare parts and repair are easy to do since most hardware stores have Stihl counters that you can go to anytime.
More pocket-friendly brands of petrol strimmers include Ryobi and McCulloh. With prices that range from 100 to 200 dollars, these petrol strimmers are the choice for gardeners that are not doing heavy maintenance on their yards. The Ryobi 4-stroke petrol strimmer is one of the most popular models 0.37-liter tank capacity and up to 1 hp output power. Ryobi petrol strimmers also come with a split shaft that makes transport easier. Its reduced noise capacity and lower emission levels are also a plus. Though specifications of Ryobi petrol strimmers are the same as those of the more expensive models, customer feedback has not been the same.
Finding good-quality petrol strimmers can be quite daunting with the long-list of choices available. The best thing that you can do is ask fellow gardeners on what they use. If something works for the majority of them, it may probably work for you, too.
