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.
