    4. Types of replacement grass trimmer blades

    As far as the type of replacement blade for grass trimmers (€31.33) is concerned, the material can essentially be used as a distinguishing feature. Accordingly are

    • Replacement knives made of plastic and
    • Metal replacement knife

    to differentiate.

    Plastic replacement knives don't cost much - that's their biggest advantage. You can often get a few knives for just a few euros. However, you also need them, since plastic models are usually not particularly robust and therefore short-lived, which in turn means that you have to replace the knife relatively often. You should also remember that plastic is the most environmentally unfriendly material.

    The advantages and disadvantages of plastic grass trimmer replacement blades at a glance:

    benefits
    • inexpensive
    • often extensive sets with many spare knives
    disadvantage
    • little robust
    • frequent(er) replacement required
    • environmentally unfriendly

    Metal replacement knife

    The most striking advantage of replacement knives made of metal is their robustness. They are much more durable than plastic knives and are better at dealing with more stubborn brush. Of course, these properties also drive up the price.

    Along with this, you have to be careful when working with a metal blade lawn trimmer, as a little inattentiveness can unfortunately lead to the blade breaking. Apart from the fact that a new blade is needed sooner, which literally has an unfavorable effect in terms of costs, a blade that breaks during operation of the lawn trimmer is associated with an increased risk of accidents. Without protective equipment, serious injuries cannot be ruled out (the rotation could throw splinters in your face at high speed).

    The advantages and disadvantages of metal lawn trimmer replacement blades at a glance:

    benefits
    • robust and resistant
    • suitable for more stubborn undergrowth
    disadvantage
    • more expensive
    • very concentrated and careful work elementary

    In addition to the type - i.e. the material - the following criteria should be considered when buying replacement knives:

    • compatibility
    • quality
    • scope of delivery
    • price

    compatibility

    The most important thing is that the replacement blades are 100 percent compatible with your grass trimmer. For this reason, we recommend that you only buy originals if possible - i.e. the replacement blades that are offered directly by the manufacturer of the trimmer for the respective device.

    quality

    The quality determines how stable the replacement knives are and what their lifespan is like. The higher quality - and therefore more robust - the knives, the less often you have to change them.

    tips

    The best way to find out how good or bad certain replacement grass trimmer blades are is to read reviews from other buyers and/or testimonials from professional testers.

    scope of delivery

    The more spare knives in a set, the better it is for you.

    But: quality before quantity!

    price

    Compare the prices of the same or similar replacement knives from different suppliers and among themselves. In the end you will find the best offer.
