Anyone who’s ever used a mains-driven garden tool will be aware of the frustration a restrictive power-lead can cause, so it’s no surprise that cordless grass-trimmers like this one from Bosch are becoming so popular. Its combination of a powerful 18v (1.5 Ah) battery with Bosch’s groundbreaking plastic-blade technology delivers the best possible cutting-performance with ultra-low energy consumption, in turn enabling you to clear up to around 800-metres on just one charge. Supremely flexible-in-use, the Bosch ART26 Accutrim Cordless Grass Trimmer has a telescopic shaft & a 90-degree tilting-cutter-head, so it can be quickly adapted to suit the type of job you’re tackling. Attachable wheels allow the cutter-head to be guided accurately across the ground; while a folding bracket works to prevent the cutting-cord contacting plants or solid objects. The Bosch ART26 Accutrim has a larger 26cm working-width & weighs only 2.9kg. 12 replacement blades, which can be fitted without tools, are included (they can be stored intergrally).
