The Decimator vs. Standard Strimmer Heads: Which Cuts Best?

Petrol strimmers (brush cutters) are versatile tools, but the cutting head determines performance. Here's how the main options compare.

Standard Cutting Heads

• Nylon line (2.4 mm): Soft grass/weeds only; wears fast; frequent replacement.
• Plastic blades: Faster than line but brittle; unsuitable for woody stems.
• Steel blades: Effective on brush but dangerous; require matching blade to machine size; risk of kickback.

The Decimator Advantage

The Decimator is a universal attachment that fits any petrol strimmer via a unique keyhole locking system. Its 4 mm reinforced steel cable:

• Demolishes tough brush, brambles, woody stems, and thick grass
• Swivels freely for uneven terrain
• Wears slowly—far more economical than nylon or metal blades
• Safer: no shattered plastic or flying metal fragments

One attachment handles every terrain and vegetation type—no head changes needed. Ideal for professionals and serious gardeners.
