The brushcutter reducer has a diameter of 26 mm, a 5.3 x 5.3 mm square shaft and an aluminum alloy housing with wear-resistant gears.

Petrol and electric brushcutters are designed to cut back tall grass, brambles and undergrowth. Bladed brushcutters are more powerful and often carried like a backpack but can also be wheeled, self-propelled, or included as a 4-in-1 multitool. Electric strimmers are typically mains-powered and used to maintain small gardens.
