Technical progress does not stand still and regularly replenishes the ranks of equipment for the house and dacha, which significantly facilitates the life of the owners of household plots. Each self-respecting horticulturist-amateur has in his arsenal a lawnmower or a motor-block , and recently the battery shears for cutting grass are very popular.
What are they?
The working body of the instrument is represented by two knives - the upper mobile and the lower stationary ones. A mechanism is installed between the motor and the working member, which converts the rotational motion of the electric motor shaft into translational motion applied to the movable knife. Garden shears for cutting grass work on batteries, which is very convenient. Now there is no need to pull the wire behind, fill the fuel tank with a mixture of gasoline and breathe exhaust fumes. Another plus of such garden equipment is the lack of noise, which makes the work on the site comfortable and enjoyable.
This tool uses a modern grinding method-laser, which significantly extends the life of the knives. Cordless shears for cutting grass with a handle are designed to work in places where the use of the usual lawn mower is impractical. These are areas near flower beds, bushes, various fences and a sidewalk. That is, where neither the trimmer, nor the machine will not pass, and if they pass, they will leave behind a visible vegetation. In addition, cordless shears for cutting grass are often equipped with a nozzle for cutting shrubs. This greatly expands the scope of their application and opens up wide opportunities for landscape design.
Criterias of choice
When buying such a tool, you need to pay attention to the capacity and voltage of the batteries, the type of battery, the mass of the device, the number of strokes per minute, the width of the grip and the maximum cutting radius. As practice shows, it is better to buy two batteries at once, which will ensure the continuity of the device, but in any case everything will be determined by the capacity, besides this device, like any other, you need to rest from time to time. In addition, it is preferable to choose a lithium-ion battery, because it is on this type that the other garden tools - saw, scythe, lawn mower , etc., most often work.
The radius of cut, that is, the angle that knives are capable of turning, is very important for those who are going to cut grass in crevices in asphalt and other road surfaces. Do not neglect the purchase of an extension telescopic handle, which not only increases the convenience of work, but also the safety of the gardener. Today, many manufacturers produce similar equipment for the garden. The most popular include:

The price for such a device will be composed of a complete set, the material of the body and components, battery capacity and other characteristics. All these questions should be specified from the seller, depending on their own requirements and preferences. This technique allows you to easily get rid of unnecessary vegetation and at the same time provide care to useful plants without harm to them.
