The best cordless brush cutters with a blade

Most cordless machines are grass-only. These ones take a real metal blade, so you get quiet, low-maintenance running AND the ability to clear scrub and light brambles.

Cordless power with real cutting ability

A steel blade is what turns a quiet cordless machine into a genuine brush cutter. These models pair a 36V+ brushless motor with metal-blade capability, so they clear tall grass, nettles and light brambles — not just lawn.

Our picks

The Ryobi RBC36X26B includes a hardened TriArc blade at a keen price. The Makita DUR369AZ and Einhell GP-BC 36/430 add pro-grade power and wide cuts, while the Worx Nitro WG186E is a versatile all-rounder.

Size the battery

Blade work drains a battery faster than line, so choose 4 Ah+ or carry a spare. See our full cordless guide.

Frequently asked questions

Can a cordless brush cutter really cut brambles?

Yes — a 36V+ machine fitted with a 3-tooth steel blade handles light-to-moderate brambles and scrub. For thick, established brambles over a big area, petrol is still more capable.

Do these come with the blade included?

Several do — the Ryobi RBC36X26B and Einhell machines include a steel blade. Always check, as some are sold as bare tools or with a line head only.
