Why buy a kit

A kit includes the battery and charger, so the price on the box is the real price. If you don’t own batteries from a platform yet, that’s usually cheaper than buying a bare tool and a battery separately — and you know the battery suits the tool.

Brush cutter kits

  • Ryobi RBC36X26B — bike handle, 26 cm 3-tooth blade, 30 cm line head, 36V 4.0 Ah battery and charger; up to 47 minutes of brush cutting per Ryobi.
  • Bosch AdvancedBrushCut 36V — brushless, 23 cm metal blade, 33 cm line; kit version with a 36V 2.0 Ah battery and charger, 4.1 kg with battery.

Trimmer kits

  • EGO ST1400E — 56V, 35 cm cut with 2.4 mm line, PowerLoad automatic line winding, 2.5 Ah battery, CH2100E charger and shoulder strap. Amazon.co.uk listing unavailable in October 2026.
  • Worx WG183E — 40V on two 20V batteries, 33 cm, AutoFeed; 2.9 kg.
  • Makita DUR189RF — brushless, 30 cm, ADT, three speeds, brake and reverse; 3.0 Ah battery.
  • Makita DUR193RT — 26 cm, angle-adjustable head and edger function; 5.0 Ah battery.

Check before you buy

Model codes matter: one tool can be sold bare, with one battery or with two. Confirm the battery capacity (Ah), the charger type and whether a strap or blade is included. If you already own batteries, see the best cordless brush cutters for bare-tool options.

Frequently asked questions

Do all of these come with a battery and charger?

In the kit versions listed here, yes. Watch the model code: Bosch sells the AdvancedBrushCut bare or as a kit, and many Makita and EGO tools exist as bare ('Z' or tool-only) versions too.

Which kit is best for a first-time buyer?

For nettles and light scrub, the Ryobi RBC36X26B — blade, bike handle and 4.0 Ah battery included. For lawns and edges, the Worx WG183E or Makita DUR189RF.

When is a bare tool better value?

When you already own batteries from the same platform. Then a bare tool such as the Makita DUR369AZ or Einhell Agillo 36/255 is the cheaper route.
