Searching around for reliable grass trimmer, either corded or cordless,

I am actually hunting for LI cordless grass trimmer, saw Bosch got a model ART 23 LI Combitrim like below



but waited 2 years, belum reach Malaysia yet, the one with powerline is too hassle to trim, then found out makita's one review not bad, not sure about the pricing.

Any grass trimmer user here to share your power tool?

After several attempts to search around, the only available in Malaysia for cordless one is the Bosch Cordless shears



after with telescopic extension



but I think it is not meant for trimming, but for shearing purpose only

if your lawn area is small..can buy grass trimmer cord of cordless...but if your lawn area is big..buy the grass cutter using petrol..mine use petrol..around RM280 (china brand).......i would suggest you buy grass trimmer with 4 wheels....easier to use...hand held grass trimmer if 'tak biasa'..your hand will shakinggg...

Makita brand is good..compared to bosch..since i hv bosch power drill..not so heavy duty as makita.

correct bro, for big land size, the one with fuel will be more efficient, but some times people do consider about storage issue as well rite? mind to share out some photo of your lawn mower if u r free? Thanks

normally these electric hand held grass trimmer is not so robust...unless you buy the 4 wheels type..but if have limited space for storage, try the handheld but makita is good choice.

How about kerosine

you mean petrol or kerosine?

Kerosine on the grass. Got Yellow look somemore

Did that one my house before renovation. Save me some money to cut.

what about this one ?



anybody use it before.. no batt no wires just tolak

This consider pollution and enviroment damage liau.

Use weed killer like mosanto lah. RM12/bottle.

this the best.....save money on electric or money and the owner get exercise..

Can also prevent termite.

Saw my fren pakai this before,not recommended due to low efficiency,tolak until like no tomorrow, trim output not the desired one and u still need to manually cut the edge n longkang sides

What is your land size? sometime ROI will be slow. Better get the uncle help cut and clean for you. Not sure the market rate now, could be RM 30 +- for a corner unit.

My landsize with carpet grass is about 500sqft consider small,I asked my local gardener,service 1 time with baja is rm50++,there it comes to my mind ROI wise I service 4 times,can get the batting grass trimmer d

This is my Bosch grass cutter cost rm250+ if not mistaken. Model 220W typ 0 600 821 823 ( strange). You need to train how to use it. Specially how to tide the nylon in the casing.

For thicker grass or dense, this model have difficult to cut as the power not strong enough.

I use this one. Hand get numb, have to careful with your feet, the power cord and tired hand because when you are tired it cut too deep botak. Good for small garden.

It is not heavy. Why hand numb? Vibration? You need to train how to use as I said. All this type of grass cutter need to train to use inorder to cut a nice depth. Unless those car type.

VIbration for half hr to 1 hr or more the hand get numb a bit like having shaking holding with electric massage tools. Nothing serious.

for new series one, I saw bosch combitrim come with 2 wheel, so user no need to hold but can roll around the field, i think this will avoid the botak issue.

The vibration is good. It help you shape your muscle.

and also blood circulation

this is the one I said, but damn... local shops not all of them selling this susah cari..

Just buy the China brand grass cutter model BG328. It's cheap and use body to support it's weight except the handle. So, less tiring and numbing effect to your arm.

For storage, your just can keep it in one corner and hang the handle to the wall. It will not take so much storage area. But remember to empty the gasoline tank before storage.

The engine type? Very noisy.

My grass cutter brand Orimas BG328 just faulty this monday, piston jam.......i hv used it for 5 years...i plan to buy another china brand RM260 shop at Shah Alam. Shop at Jln Klang lama expensive selling more than RM300+

Very noisy is small matter. Just use ear plug, problem solve. Also don't forget other personal protective equipment such as safety shoe, hang glove, safety glass and cap(for hot day-bur recommended).

I think, for piston jam just drop a little bit of 2T oil on top of the piston head. Maybe that should work. I emphasize on 'maybe' because from my previous experience with 2 stroke motorcycle during younger days, I use that method. But, it usually work on Suzuki bike only.

Can modify to use as go kart? He....

need to repair before become go kart...

herm just wondering what is the difference between grass trimmer and cutter?

I know the difference for shearer and trimmer but how about cutter?

cuz those uncle cut grass one, they are using the petrol based trimmer as well, which is identical to the bosch trimmer



btw I got this trimmer already LoL but havent start test it

no need to be so particular ,for me trimmer or cutter ,as long it can do the job is consider good tool.

trimmer less power compared to cutter ? lol

haha typically they called lawn mower for huge one and grass trimmer for handheld one, just tested my borsch combitrim art23, nice trimmer I will said, but need some practice for that hahaha and also after used the trimmer, I will say cordless one definitely will disappoint u due to short operation time

I have got myself this since months ago, but still nv use it as the grass are still not ready to be trimmed.

I suppose it is the most basic type and hopefully it will be good enough for my 350sqft lawn.

Black & Decker 23cm Strimmer GL300

dude , this is the one i got as well.... may the force be with u .....

OMG

did you refer to a push type petrol grass cutter in 4 wheels?
the hand held electric one tak boleh pakai because you have to buy a lot of replacing nylon string and end up "pokai"

i use grass cutter hand held..using petrol type...not wheel type.

bro does it use batery or just wire?

Am i glad to find this site haha ! Finally found some home work grass cutting passionate man !

I have been using Bangla Grass Cutter so far Rm35 per cut but i am fed up that i need to do the clean up job, Grass Shear job at the side longkang and edge.
Recently i read quite a bit on lawnmower and Grass Trimmer end up, One of my neighbor advise me, forget about all those, just get this two

BOSCH AHM 30 & Bosch Grass Shear ISIO

Exercise, economical and satisfaction ....... no need to worry about recharging battery la, wire not long enough la, cutting string keep on breaking la ... etc.

Just push pull push pull push pull then shear shear shear ..........

What do u guys think ? but add up both is Rm280 + Rm260 not cheap also Rm540 .

Thinking of go for BOSCH AHM 30 before this, but end up after survey, found many bad reviews and questions about this model's efficiency, so as a user of BOSCH AHM 30, what do u think about it?

Bosch Grass Shear ISIO - got it. not 100% happy with it for the carpet grass as it wont cut it properly when the grass is thick. not so dense then its fine. the ISIO is great for bushes and stuff though and the battery quite lasting. but i got lazy and have employed a gardener to do the entire job, so i have a spare lawnmover (rotary, BOSCH), ISIO and a grass trimmer (also electric one from BOSCH) - want it?

haha gonna give up both?

May I know where is the place i can get the best price for BG 328?

I am looking for a grass trimmer , I have a garden ard 2000 sqft.
already bought 2 from Tesco & Giant , cheapo type but easily
broken. Burn very fast even just use less than 30 min.
most not lasting. Don't have much budget for grass trimmer,
anyone plan to sell as second hand , I am interested. tq.

Has anyone try petrol brush cutter TL33 before? Price in lelong.my is RM350. I am thinking to get one.

Hi all,
I know I'm slightly off-topic here but this is the only gardening thread I can find.

I'm looking for spares for my Tecumseh lawnmower.
I need a replacement flywheel key for Tecumseh Prisma 37.
Any ideas where I can get parts in KL/Seremban or through mail?

i tried to plant grass in my condo balcony. then too lazy to cut, so bought myself a manual-type Bosch lawn mower. Now the grass has withered and i'm stuck with the lawn mower. haha

I'm using the Bosch ISIO on my tiny 4 sq ft "garden" to trim the grass. Works well.

hi everyone, just wanna ask...

is this any good? can't seem to find much details on it...
Black & Decker Grass Trimmer GL260

plan to in-source my lawn cutting and DIY...

also, what is this thing about winding line, etc... really pengsan... thought just bring out trimmer, turn on... cut... but i see many talking about DIY winding, replacing, etc...

plus, it terms of "cutting power" (sorry, very layman term as i'm not expert), corded still better than battery? or both about the same?

edit 1: in regards to the line/ spool, what is the type used by the MBPJ/ MBSA ppl? i see they just throw away and then put in a new one? this one is old way? best way? automatic... from what i read, it will auto replace? no way to make it into the manual method where i manually replace it?

I'm looking to buy a grass trimmer recently since the MPAJ and security guard offer me RM50 one time for the cut and cleaning. I only have around 10ft x 20ft garden.
So thinking to buy one electric grass trimmer, basically only saw few products from online store, mostly with bosch and blank & decker brands.
Currently a bit more interested on Black & Decker Gl4525 450W, Could I know if there is any one use it previously?

Could I know where I can get this product if I don't want to buy it online?

MPAJ and security guard offer you rm50 to trim your garden?

That is weird.

Brought a grass trimmer few week ago. It is not for big garden.





Previously using this type.


The previous 1 shear the grass more than trim. The cord turn in high speed and flung some grass out. Rather cut. That cause the grass uneven and botak in some place.

The new 1 trim better as it is a cutter. Your hand more nearer to the cutter and have better to control. Trim more even and nicer.

But take longer time as the cutter is smaller. The long cutter is for trim flower or bush.

The bad about this Bosch trimmer is the battery life is short. About less than an hr. While charging about an hr. Battery built in and not changeable. Don't understand why they don't design to changeable and std to other cordless tools.

Another bad is the cutter feel like not that sharp after cut sometime.

I have a 600sqft lawn. Its time for me to buy a lawnmover or grass cutter or grass trimmer. Can someone help me to advice what is the best product.Please....

Is so hard to find the trimmer line for Bosch and even if you find is expensive

Hi all,

I am using EGO 56V Battery 33cm Line Trimmer. Cost around RM800, but very quiet and reliable. The battery is 56V, can use up to 1 hour of continuous use. If you find the line not sharp enough, change it to the star-shaped type, it will transform to as sharp as the traditional steel blade trimmer type.

You can also buy the mower, where the battery is interchangeable between their equipment. Only thing is it's expensive.

I end up buying Hitachi CG25SC Grass Trimmer for RM200 form a local hardware store. It comes with the unit, extension wire (15ft?), additional trimmer line and goggle,

Overall, it get the job done for a newbie like me. For me, it is quite loud and the vibration is quite strong but manageable once I get used to it.

The only issue I have is cleaning it after use. There are grass residue on the cutting guard and near the trimmer line. I end up using cloth to clean it. Is there a more efficient way to clean it?

I bought a worx wg118 grass trimmer last Friday, hope can clear off all the grassy weed at my home lawn. Hopefully this trimmer good and powerful enough to tidy up my midsize 1800sf lawn. Initially to get black decker gl5530 trimmer but no stock at ACE.

Any review? How's worx wg118?

Hi, any recommendations for lawn mower and grass trimmer ?

- Is electric reliable nowadays ?

- How do I know if I need a mower or just a trimmer ? Happy to invest in something smaller first like a trimmer, instead of diving straight into a mower

- Prefer ease of use to collect the trimmed grass

hi guys, owned a gl425 black n decker here. planning to make a 20 meter long extension socket for using it.
Size ~ 23/016 , 40/016 , 70/076 100% FULL COPPER WIRE - which one should I use to make one? would a 40/016 be enough to support the power load or I need the 70/076 ( kinda expensive for this category).

Hello everyone, I have a question about trimmer lines. I was cleaning my garage and found a trimmer line, I don't remember where it is from and I don't remember buying it. Can you tell me if it can be used with my lawn mower (photos attached). I think that maybe my ex husband bought it but on that time we had another lawn mower, so I'm a little confused.

is there a local seller for Ego 56v trimmer? Do you mind sharing where u got yours please
