PROS The Trimmac is ideal for homeowners who don't want to deal with the hassle of heavy tools while maintaining their property. Fairly light at only 3.9kg, this 25cc two-stroke engine easily powers the trimmer head to cut through overgrown grass and other green vegetation. It’s notable for the gentle curve of its shaft, which marks it out from so many straight models. This bend makes it easier to hold the cutting head parallel to the ground while keeping the handle and activation trigger at a more comfortable angle. The adjustable handle may be divided in half for easy transport and storage, and the shaft can be broken in half for easy transit and storage. It's ideal for clearing huge gardens and tough terrain. It has a 20" cutting swath and can clear a lot of territory in a short amount of time. PROS

Think about it this way; a two cycle engine has double the amount of power strokes when running at the same speed.
