Strimmers

A strimmer reaches the parts of your garden that a traditional grass cutter can’t access. At Toolstation, we know how much work goes into creating an immaculate lawn – that’s why we only stock the very best brush cutters and edge trimmers from top brands like DeWalt, Einhell, Draper, Makita and Hawksmoor.

While your lawn mower will take care of your main grassy areas, it’s the finishing touches that require a bit more care and attention. Path or patio edges, garden borders, flower beds – they all need the precision performance a garden strimmer can bring.

Depending on the type of work you need to carry out, you can choose a grass trimmer or a brush cutter. But what’s the difference?

Grass Strimmers

A lawn trimmer is perfect for applying the finishing touches to your gardening work, such as tidying up borders or edging. Sometimes known as a weed wacker, these strimmers will often use a nylon trimmer line or plastic blade to cut grass quickly and efficiently.

These grass strimmers are lightweight, easy to use and great for regular garden maintenance – a corded electric strimmer will give you continuous run time to work as long as you need to, while a cordless strimmer relies on battery power to help you work in larger areas where it isn’t always possible to have a mains connection or extension lead.

Brush Cutters

A strimmer with blades is the best option for more heavy-duty work. Also known as a brush cutter, these machines feature metal blades that are far more powerful than strimmer line – perfect for cutting through longer grass, weeds, brambles and dense undergrowth.

For maximum power, choose a petrol strimmer to take on the toughest jobs. They’re noisier and less eco-friendly than electric or cordless alternatives, but offer longer run times and quick refills – there’s no waiting for a battery to be charged with these grass cutters.

Whether it’s a lightweight battery-powered lawn edge trimmer or a professional grass strimmer you need, you’ll find it at Toolstation. With free next-day delivery or Click & Collect from 550+ stores nationwide, this is the place to find your next DeWalt strimmer – or any other of our biggest and best brands.
