Einhell 36V Brush Cutter


Onoff

Recommended Posts

Morning,

 

I'm debating this Einhell 36V brush cutter:

 

https://www.amazon.de/Einhell-Schnittbreite-Front-Motor-Tippautomatik-3-Zahn-Messer/dp/B078GRBYSP/ref=mp_s_a_1_13?

 

1) I could do with one for occasional use. 

 

2) I can use Makita batteries on it.

 

3) It's half the price of a Makita one. Cheaper too buying it from Germany. I saved a good few quid like this buying the 36V chainsaw from Amazon.de

 

In the German to English translation it states:

 

"Thread spool and 3-tooth knife, without battery and charger)"

Then it lists a 255 bush blade for an extra €19.99. 

 

Are they much different in terms if what they can do as opposed to the "3 tooth knife" it comes with? I'm guessing it's pretty much like a circular saw blade for sawing rather than "weed whacking". That it's 25.4mm bore and 2.5mm thick, could a "standard" circular saw blade be substituted?

 

Not had much experience of these "brush cutter" type things. Limited to cheapo mains strimmers in the past.

 

Cheers

What kind of vegetation are you hoping to cut? 

 

Brambles need a curved blade so you can push the tool down on them from above. Straight blades only work in the horizontal but are good for lower vegetation.

Explain how you can use Makita batteries on this. Is it all einhell tools or just this model.

 

I had my lad 3D print some Makita to Einhell (their Power X Change range, same as Ozito Power X Change) battery adapters. As detailed in the 3D printing thread on here, page 14 details the printing and making of the copper battery tabs:

Or skip reading it and just watch these two videos! Batteries were low both times but when charged it cuts a treat.
