Is your yard more “Welcome to the Jungle” than “Paradise City”? A cordless whipper snipper, also known as a brush cutter, will help you get your outdoor area under control quick-smart.
When you have greenery to tackle, a good whipper snipper is a reliable, multi-tasking workhorse that can power through the lot—from trimming hedges to slashing growth in those places your mower simply can’t reach.
Cordless whipper snipper FAQs
What is the best cordless brush cutter?
The best cordless whipper snipper comes down to your personal preference and how you intend to use it.
First, you’ll want your brush cutter to be lightweight and comfortable to use — otherwise, it’ll only collect cobwebs in your shed. The Makita cordless whipper snippers and Bosch cordless whipper snippers are solid options for this very reason. They’re typically easy to manoeuvre and you’ll get protection against kickback—and at fantastic value from Tool Kit Depot.
We can’t forget power, which is measured in volts. Whipper snippers do need a bit of grunt, and while 18v may be enough for small tasks, a model over 36v will do it all, especially if landscaping’s your bread and butter!
For the best brush cutter, you’ll want a reputable brand that makes solid outdoor tools. Choosing a Makita, Husqvarna, or Bosch means you’ll get a lightweight aluminium shaft, soft handle grip, and multiple attachments to suit your cutting needs. It’ll be ready to go whenever you need it.
And of course, choosing a cordless whipper snipper means you’ll want a decent battery to back it up. Have other power tools from the same brand? You may already have a battery that’ll fit your whipper snipper!
What is a battery brush cutter?
Battery brush cutters are just like their petrol counterparts, only powered by battery instead of fuel. Petrol-powered brush cutters are ideal for revving up the power, but if you’re after something a little easier on the ears, battery brush cutters (aka cordless brush cutters) are the way to go. In saying that, modern battery alternatives are still juiced up, so you’ll get similar results that you’d expect from that two-stroke.
What are the benefits of a cordless whipper snipper?
The cordless whipper snipper has many benefits, allowing you to enjoy all the features of corded models, while allowing you to free roam without worry. Many choose cordless whipper snippers as they:
- Are eco-friendly
- Require no spark plugs or cords
- Run on batteries
- Often suit interchangeable batteries
- Are fully portable
- Are quieter than other types
With the right model, your line trimmer will be up to any task you throw at it. From quick tidy-ups to more serious hard yakka, a cordless whipper snipper will do it with ease.
