Brush cutters or Strimmers are powered by an engine which is run either on petrol or battery or electricity. A petrol strimmer is the most often used kind, as it allows the user to move with freedom and clear all kinds of terrains. Petrol Strimmers are made of a shaft, cutting head and an engine on top of the shaft and handles to hold the machine.
A petrol strimmer can use several different cutting heads including nylon line head, plastic blades and steel blades. Nylon line is the softest option and it clears soft grass and weeds but its thickness of 2.44mm means it does not last long. This arrangement certainly cannot clear brushes like brambles and it requires frequent changes of the nylon line. This kind of strimmer is clearly designed for light work.
Another option for the petrol strimmer is to use steel blades, but the benefits are debatable as steel blades are deemed dangerous and a user must wield it carefully to avoid accidents. A metal cutter would require different configured steel blades to cut different type of brushes and the choice of metal cutting head would also depend on the size of the machine, because a big machine will not take a small metal blade.
Plastic blades are other alternatives but these are not made for tough work and at the maximum they can cut grass and weeds but are not manly enough to decimate woody stems. However they work faster than a nylon head but can come a cropper if driven against a wall or sturdy surface.
Now we have The Decimator which is an attachment which can fit onto the cutting head of any petrol strimmer. It is a powerful grass cutter and it can demolish all kinds of tough brushes, weeds, brambles, and woody stems, and is quite versatile on any terrain. The singular most effective feature of The Decimator is that it can fit easily in to a brush cutter owing to its unique keyhole locking system and is easy to rotate and swivel as demanded by the terrain. It is also economical because there is no change of broken nylon line or replacing a metal cutting blade. The Decimator is cable reinforced which is slow to wear down hence they are safer and more economical to use.
