Forget about endless extension cables and noisy, high maintenance two-stroke engines when putting the finishing touches to your garden – the battery-powered Einhell GE-CT 18LI Grass-Trimmer provides a straightforward, hassle-free alternative to mains- and petrol-driven machines.

Its cutting edge lithium-ion battery pack is rated at a beefy 18v and is not affected by the self-discharge and memory-effect problems that have always plagued heavier and less durable nickel-cadmium cells. A three-LED readout makes it easy to monitor battery-capacity*.

The Einhell GE-CT 18LI Cordless Grass-Trimmer is flexible in use, with its five stage adjustable cutter-head (+/- 90°) making edging comfortable and providing a suitable working-angle for any given job.

It boasts an infinitely adjustable telescopic shaft, so gardeners of any stature will find it easy to control and manoeuvre; and it benefits from a plant-guard that works to protect delicate ornamentals and sensitive tree-bark from blade damage.

This model comes complete with 20 robust plastic blades that can be stored integrally.

*The battery and charger are available separately and are compatible with all the tools in Einhell’s Power X-Change range.
