Cordless Battery Powered Grass Trimmer

This Grass Trimmer from Velleora Home Decor runs on a battery, so there is no cable to trail across a lawn, no extension lead to unwind and no risk of cutting through a live wire - which is one of the more common garden accidents with corded trimmers.

It is built light, which matters more than power for most domestic jobs. Edging a lawn, cutting round a washing line post or tidying a path is a matter of reach and control rather than brute force, and a heavy machine held at arm's length becomes unpleasant within ten minutes.

Cordless also means it works down the end of a long garden, on an allotment or round a shed with no socket nearby. Wear eye protection and sturdy shoes, keep bystanders and pets well clear of the cutting head, and check the guard is fitted before every use. Charge indoors and remove the battery before changing the line.
