The action principle tool resembles a hair clipper with gear blades. Of course, the size of the cutting fabric of the custodeza is much larger: the length of the cut reaches 60 cm, the size of the teeth and their step is 2-4 cm. There are models of both with an electric motor and an internal combustion engine (gasoline). Bustores are designed mainly for haircuts and cutting of young, who did not have time to wore shoots. But they can cope with thicker branches. The maximum thickness is usually indicated in the characteristics of the device and is approximately ⅔ from the steps of the blade. And it is especially convenient to produce crowns of decorative shrubs and trees with the help of brush cutters, enthusiastic hedges.
Pay attention to the material of the gearbox housing: a metal case is preferable to plastic, as it does not overheat during long work; It is no coincidence that the metal gearbox is often found on professional techniques.

Choose a string of performance, which depends on the power of the tool, as well as on the length of the cutting powders. With an increase in performance, the size and weight of the instrument increases, it should not be forgotten. Small rechargeable brush cutters have cutting cloths with a length of 15-20 cm, and their weight usually does not exceed 1.5-2 kg. Such a tool can be held with one hand. There are absolutely crumbs, like a Bosch Ixo rechargeable screwdriver with a spray-brush cutter (a tool with a nozzle weighs about 0.5 kg) or battery scissors for trimming small plants Gardena Classic Cut. Professional models have 50-60 cm cloths, the weight of the tool is 5-6 kg, and it already has to hold two hands.
Modern brush cutters are usually equipped with a pair of crafts for oncoming cut. These canvases visually resemble a double-sided hair comb: on both sides there are a number of teeth with a height of 20-30 mm with about the same step. The side faces of the teeth play the role of cutting blades. The distance between them defines the quality of treatment of plantations. The blades with a small step (2 cm) give a visually more smooth and neatly trimmed surface.
The big step (3 cm) provides higher performance. There are models and with one-sided location of the teeth, but they are represented only in a professional segment.

The handles must be comfortable to keep the tool in mittens. It is desirable that they have soft anti-vibration linings. The tip of the guide bus with moving canvases should have a protective overlay from metal or durable plastic.

It is powerful and high-performance, but the gasoline engine pollutes the air exhaust and about 10-15 dBa electric. The average noise level of the tool with an electric motor is 80-85 dBA, but there are also quieter models. Thus, the noise level of the accumulator scissors Husqvarna 115iHD45 is 74 dBA.
