However, if you are looking for a trimmer for special tasks and you are not embarrassed by extra noise, choose a solid mower. It is more efficient than electric models and will surely handle many plants.

What additional elements should a trimmer have?

When choosing a trimmer, you should pay attention to two important elements. Firstly, it is the ability to adjust the stem with the drive shaft. This is a particularly important issue in the context of electrical models. A handle that is too short can cause bending, and a handle that is too long will be awkward to use. Also note the safety bow that keeps the correct distance between the cutting head and whatever the machine is approaching. This prevents damage to plants and the trimmer itself.
