The control handle is 90 degrees adjustable, allowing you to make horizontal and vertical cuts easily. In addition, the front handle is U-shaped to allow you to vary your grip. Pros: If you need to store gasoline for an extended period of time, you can use a fuel stabiliser, which is a type of fuel treatment product. Essentially, you treat the fuel with a stabiliser prior to storing it. The fuel stabiliser then helps to prevent gum or varnish buildup, and prevents these deposits from entering the fuel system and carburettor. This helps to prevent engine damages and makes the mower much easier to start. We’ll also explain how to buy lawn mower fuel, and how to store it safely. What’s the best petrol for a lawn mower? The 2 stroke engine is easy to start, powerful and not too noisy, it hardly ever gets bogged down because of the power. The build quality of this petrol strimmer / brush cutter is surprisingly good for something priced so low. Everything feels strong and well-made and should last a while as long as it is not abused. There is no need to mix your fuel with oil, you can simply use ordinary unleaded petrol. The fuel tank has a large opening for easier refuelling and it is translucent so you can see when it’s topping up time. Fuel capacity is half a litre and overall fuel consumption is miles better than a 2 stroke if you can afford it.On an aesthetic note, the finishes, such as the buttons, components and strimmer head, may be a bit crude in comparison to more premium models, but the general consensus seems to be that this doesn’t affect the running of the strimmer itself and it still offers good value. For neatening up lawn edges, as well as cutting through tougher shrubbery like brambles, the Ryobi 2 in 1 Petrol Grass Brush Cutter is a solid choice: powerful yet lightweight.

The handle position is also adjustable, so users of different heights can find the position that is most suitable, and the engine also starts relatively easily which will reduce fatigue from pulling the engine cord. Finally, like anything that burns fossil fuels, there will be fumes and emissions to deal with and they are obviously not good for the environment.

Long blades will speed up the cutting, as you can cut more in a single sweep of the trimmer; plus, you will have more reach when dealing with taller shrubs and hedges. On the other hand, a longer blade will be heavier and more challenging to handle.
