cordless lawn trimmer (1,125 offers*)

Basically, you use a cordless lawn trimmer as a supplement to your lawn mower. This usually does not reach all corners due to its shape. For example, along house walls or around plants, trees and shrubs. In addition, a cordless lawn trimmer or grass trimmer is ideal for giving lawn edges a neat finish.
In addition, there are properties that cannot be worked on with a lawn mower. These include, for example, lawns with steep slopes or areas with dense tree growth. Here, a cordless lawn trimmer offers significantly more flexibility and facilitates the work.
Furthermore, you can use the trimmer to prepare your lawn for the use of the lawn mower in the first place. An extreme grass height can possibly bring your lawn mower to its performance limit.

In general, a cordless lawn trimmer is a garden tool that works very quietly and extremely cleanly. In addition, no cable disturbs you during trimming, which you could trip over or which could get tangled.
Other advantages are a rotating swivel head to reach all places without problems and an optimal cutting width. Furthermore, the handling is kept nice and simple and intuitive.
Compared to a petrol lawn trimmer, you also protect your environment.

Both cutting systems have their advantages, so you can use them without hesitation. It depends on the fineness and the area of use.
The cordless lawn trimmer works more precisely than the blade and can also be used on house walls or stones. It reaches its limits as soon as you want to remove denser areas or bulky weeds. With this type of work, it can happen that the thread breaks.
The knife is much more robust, but it is also not free from damage. Stones hiding in the grass can destroy it and become dangerous projectiles due to the rotational force.

Nowadays, almost all cordless lawn trimmers are equipped with a lithium-ion battery, which can work for up to 60 minutes in a conventional garden size. A cordless lawn trimmer is usually only used in hard-to-reach places, so the battery power should be sufficient.

The first thing you need to do is unscrew the head of the trimmer to see the inside. Inside there is an anchorage that connects the thread or the spool to a switching mechanism. You have to loosen this as well. If there is no or hardly any thread left around the bobbin, it is time to thread in a new one.
To do this, insert the end of the thread into the recess inside the bobbin. Make sure that the end protrudes one centimetre and put it into the second hole of the bobbin.
Now twist the thread on the other side of the bobbin anchorage around the inner bobbin until only two to three centimetres are visible.
If you have an automatic machine, you must connect the protruding thread to the thread pusher. This retracts the thread and the cordless lawn trimmer is ready for use as soon as the thread head is closed.

Generally, this depends on your preferences, but also on the size of your lawn. A cordless lawn trimmer works fast, but not too carefully in comparison, which is why it is definitely the better choice for larger areas.
However, if you're a stickler for attention to detail, we'd recommend a lawn trimmer. You can use them to trim individual blades of grass or the edges of your flower beds without acting too uncontrollably.
