Hack with ease through nettles, tall weeds, scrub and bramble with this high-performance petrol brushcutter from German manufacturers Einhell.

Powering it is a high-grade air-cooled two-stroke engine that boasts a substantial 42.7cc cylinder displacement; and which features Einhell’s Quick-Start technology, whereby an easily accessible manual fuel-pump and an automatic choke make the ignition process quick and simple.

The Einhell GH-BC 43AS Brushcutter employs a fully adjustable ‘U’ (or ‘bike’) style handlebar that delivers low-effort control and manoeuvrability.

It utilises a dual ball-bearing mounted crankshaft that works to minimise vibration for long hours of comfortable brushcutting; and it’s built around an aluminium shaft that brings a marked reduction in weight, while delivering strength and inherent rust-resistance.

As well as a three-tooth metal brush-blade, the Einhell GH-BC 43AS also comes with a twin-line grass-trimming head that features an automatic-jog mechanism for fast, hassle-free cord-feed.

A centrifugal clutch stops the cutter-head when the engine is at idle so as to optimise the safety of the user and those in the vicinity; while a split shaft means no problems when it comes to transport and storage.
