Straps and safety harnesses. A shoulder strap or safety harness is an excellent bonus feature. It takes some of the weight of the tool, making it more comfortable to use, and also helps balance it, for better manoeuvrability and a more precise cut.

PERFORMANCE: Makita-built Brushless Motor delivers up to 6,000 RPM of high performance with less weight Handle types. There are two types of strimmer handles. The most common is a round, circular handle on the shaft of the strimmer, called a loop handle. It makes the strimmer easy and comfortable to control, and on the best models, it can be slid up and down the shaft, so you can adjust it to your height. Alternatively, there are ‘steer’ handles - two handles rather than a loop. These offer more control and let you use a comfortable scything motion when you cut, but they take up room, and can be a little more expensive. They’re also far more common on brushcutters and petrol strimmers than electric or cordless strimmers, so you might not find steer handles on many domestic models. A. The batteries recommended for these trimmers typically are 3.0, 4.0 and 5.0Ah Lithium-Ion batteries

It offers a solid adjustable pivoting head for those harder to reach areas or patio edging, the spools can be changed very easily and also the bump and feed single line cutting system mechanism works exactly as expected (easy to rewind and attach)

Yes, they can but the quality of the finish will not be as neat or as tidy as a lawnmower finish. A. No, the G-series batteries are not compatible so you may need to buy a separate battery if you choose the bare tool option. Hypothetically, you could use a strimmer to cut a lawn, but it would take a long time. Strimmers are much less efficient at this task than lawn mowers, and it’s more difficult to get an even cut. The G-series batteries and the 1.5Ah battery are not compatible with these grass trimmers so you need to be careful if you decide to go down the bare unit route. POWER: Makita-built outer rotor brushless motor direct-drive system delivers power of a 32cc gas chain saw

Line feed and blade replacements. It’s useful if a blade strimmer comes with spare blades, so you don’t run out if one breaks in the middle of a job. You should be able to get a new spool of line for a line strimmer or replace the whole head. With both types it's helpful if the spare blades or line can be stored on the tool. BL motor eliminates carbon brushes, enabling the BL motor to run cooler and more efficiently for longer life
