Attachments: New Design Strimmer Attachment with 3 Strimmer Heads (Aluminum Nylon Bump Spool Grass Trimmer, 3 Tooth Brush Cutter Blade, 200mm/8inch Steel Wire Trimmer Head) You don’t have to worry about your fillings getting shaken out of your head with the Stanley as vibration levels are quite low, and the D-handle situated along the shaft does a good job of not letting you feel what shakes there are. ParkerBrand gardening tool is compact, lightweight and hence, easy to use. An ergonomic handle maintains optimum comfort no matter what attachment you are using or what type of greens you are cutting. The 2 stroke engine is easy to start, powerful and not too noisy, it hardly ever gets bogged down because of the power. The build quality of this petrol strimmer / brush cutter is surprisingly good for something priced so low. Everything feels strong and well-made and should last a while as long as it is not abused. The other thing that niggled me was the less than helpful instructions. This is actually a pet hate of mine and I grumble at the best of times, but this time they were particularly bad, even contradictory. Having said that, it isn’t the hardest tool in the world to work out of to assemble and operate, and there are videos online to show you what you need to know.

The strimmer needs a special mention here because of its Nylon made dual cutting line. Next comes the brush cutter that uses a metal 3T blade. The hedge trimmer has a dual-edge hardened steel blade with a length of 450 mm. You will like the fact that the included chainsaw comes with lifetime chain lubrication, which is automatic. The engine has automatic decompression to make starting it easier and there is also a primer pump for cold starts as you would expect from Makita, a top maker of petrol strimmers. What’s more, the reliability of the engine starting up is only comparable to the excellent Stihl product. The Parkerbrand petrol strimmer comes with its own harness, it is padded, and of decent quality, like the strimmer itself but I think the design is a little overcomplicated for no apparent reason. Again though, I’m trying to find fault with this piece of kit for fairness sake. The split shaft design of the strimmer frame gives you two long handlebars to hold onto and helps you to control the 10+kg weight of the product. The engine that powers the BU-KO petrol strimmer / multi-tool is a meaty 52cc, 2 stroke machine that starts easily and produces 3 HP. This should see you have no problems with any of the tasks that you wish to use the multi-tool for, be it cutting, pruning or hedge trimming. The fuel tank has a capacity of 1200ml.

For most people, an electric strimmer or cordless strimmer will be more than enough.

You will need to make sure you have a can of petrol on hand and you will also need oil to keep the motor lubricated and to change spark plugs and such from time to time. Another thing to be aware of is that no matter how powerful a petrol strimmer may be, it can not be compared to a lawnmower for pure cutting prowess, and should not be used in place of one.

Other handy features that Mculloch has seen to adding are that you can access the air filter without the need of tools, and made the fuel tank transparent so you know when it’s getting close to the time to fill up. Thankfully, with it’s excellent fuel consumption, those refills are few and far between. Another advantage is that they are more mobile because petrol strimmers don’t need a power lead, so you have more range and freedom of movement.
