Spear & Jackson S1825CT 25cm Cordless Grass Trimmer - 18V

Product Information

The recharging time is quite good at only 1 hour and the battery can operate for longer than many other batteries. This battery can trim for 50 minutes while many other can only trim for 30 to 35 minutes. The spool line is fed out automatically here, so you don’t have to manually extend the spool line after each use – it is done automatically for you The quality of the cut and the action on the blades is excellent and will not let you down. You also have the dual safety switch, hand guard, electronic brake for your own safety along with the blade tip protector and shoulder strap for additional support. One thing to note here is the fact that this hedge trimmer can reach a height of nearly 3 meters (2.9m to be exact) so it is really designed for very tall hedges and you have 4 different rotating positions with the articulating head to accommodate angle trimming or horizontal trimming up high. Unlike many other hedge trimmers, this model comes with the blade cover included and also the should strap to support angle trimming and this battery is interchangeable with other tools from VonHaus which have the lithium-ion G battery range.

A. It is recommended that you cut long grass in steps – start at higher levels and work your way down As the cord is only 10m long, you may need an extension cord also which will be an added expense and more hassle which means more cables to navigate around. Universal spool lines will work with this grass trimmer so you can use other branded spools when you need to replace the spools - view here

There is a second spool line available here where many other grass trimmers have just the single spool line included. The length of the cable cords on their lawnmowers is 12m long however the length of the cords on their grass trimmers is 2m shorter. It would be better if the grass trimmer cords were the same as their lawnmowers. The length of the reels is long enough to last a few seasons and having a second spare spool line should last you a few years in our opinion.Overall, we found this tool to work very satisfactorily, you get a nice soft grip on the handle to reduce hand fatigue and it can work up to 30 mins on a fully recharged battery depending on the type of work being carried out. For reaching high hedges, the Pole trimmer certainly does the job well as it can reach hedges up to 3 meters high and the head can be rotated and tilted to various positions depending on what angles you need to trim at. The trimming width provided is 25cm, it has a cable cord length of 10m long and it comes with a rotating head capability so you can trim underneath garden furniture, under benches and under trampolines and swing sets. The rotating head can be adjusted by pressing on the foot pedal provided. The tool weighs heavier at over 4.5kg but it is supported with the shoulder strap for additional support to reduce arm fatigue

Some batteries can take 3 hours and in some cases 5 hours to recharge where the battery here only takes 1 hour to fully recharge once again which means less time waiting around wasted and you also get a nice soft rubber grip which helps your hands with longer trimming sessions. The edging is supported with a wheel support, so you have more accuracy around delicate trimming work, it comes with an auto spool line feed and a second spool line is included and stored in the upper handle frame. You can expect to recharge it for 1 hour which is a lot shorter than many others that can take 3+ hours to recharge and you are also handed with the longer warranty of 3 years with Argos which protects your investment well into the future. The adjustable telescopic works well, it is lightweight to use, the blades perform satisfactorily and the head can be rotated at various different angles be it 45 degrees cutting, vertical or horizontal trimming.The width of the tooth gap is only 16mm so this is one of the narrowest that you will come across – wider tooth gaps are available from other brands outlined further down on this list You are also limited to just 30 minutes on the battery trimming time – more powerful batteries can offer you a lot longer than just 30 mins (but are more expensive) Even though it can reach 2.44m high, it is still approx. 0.5m shorter than both the Flymo and the Ryobi models outlined further above. If you need to reduce it in size in your shed for storage, then the extendable shaft can be removed which is great for compact storage and also when in transport. This grass trimmer includes a standard flower guard at the front of the head, the telescopic aluminium shaft can be extended and the handle on top can also be adjusted at different angles. The spool line is fed automatically which works great and it comes with a comfortable grip which helps to reduce the level of hand fatigue that may set in over longer trimming jobs.
