Simplify Brush Maintenance by Choosing Us

A brush cutter, also called a brush saw or clearing saw, is a helpful tool for managing unruly or overgrown areas in your yard or garden. Thanks to their sharp steel blades, they can also assist in cutting paths and trails, thinning out vegetation and completing other tasks. Our selection of brush cutters can be narrowed down by: 

Power Type

Brush cutters are powered by motors that can run on either gas or batteries. Gas brush cutters tend to be more powerful than battery-powered ones, although they require more maintenance. Battery-powered options require little to no maintenance but may need a plug-in power source, limiting the distance you can take it. 

Start Type

When you’re shopping for brush cutters, consider which start type you might prefer. If you like a pull/recoil start similar to a chainsaw or lawn mower, or would rather have brush cutters with an electric/switch start, you can find numerous options in our stock.  

Assembly Required

Certain brush cutters need to be put together, while others don’t need any assembly. Whether you want an option with no assembly needed or don’t mind some partial assembly required, you can get the model you’re most comfortable with when shopping with us. 

Frequently Asked Questions about Brush Cutters

What is the difference between brush cutters and push trimmers? 

Brush cutters are designed for more heavy-duty uses than push trimmers because they’re more powerful. This includes tasks such as cutting through small trees, thick overgrowth and foliage. Push trimmers are better suited for trimming and edging lawns in areas that are hard to reach with a mower, such as under shrubs and furniture.

What protection should you wear when using brush cutters?

Since brush cutters use sharp spinning blades, they can be dangerous. It’s important to wear eye protection, including safety glasses, work gloves and ear protection, such as headphones or ear plugs.

How do I maintain my brush cutter? 

Right after each use, remove the cutting attachment and carefully remove any debris stuck in the blade or air vents. Additionally, wipe down the body with a damp cloth and make sure it’s dry before storing it. In terms of routine maintenance, you may need to sharpen the blade, refill the gas if it’s a gas-powered model and clean the air filter.
