Write: DIY Garden (Harris Creative Ltd), Lytchett House, 13 Freeland Park, Wareham Road, Poole, Dorset, BH16 6FA At just under 2kg , Terratek’s cordless strimmer is a lightweight tool that’s easy to carry. I was able to use it for a full hour without it feeling heavy, although the strimmer’s strong vibration does make it a little uncomfortable to hold for long periods of time. This is sold with 2 batteries and a charger, so as we mentioned earlier, so this is excellent value for money.
