Frequently asked questions

Is Einhell cordless powerful enough for scrub?

For nettles and light scrub, yes: the twin-battery GP-BC 36/430 and Agillo 36/255 come with 3-tooth blades. For thick brambles over large areas, the petrol GC-BC 52 has more sustained power.

Do Einhell cordless brush cutters come with a battery?

Not the versions we cover — they're sold bare ('Solo'). The Agillo 18/200 needs one 18V Power X-Change battery; the Agillo 36/255 and GP-BC 36/430 need two.

What's the difference between Einhell's petrol models?

The GC-BC 25/1 is a light 25.4 cc starter; the GC-BC 36-4 S a 37.7 cc four-stroke that runs on unmixed petrol; the GC-BC 52 a 51.7 cc, 1.5 kW clearer with automatic choke and split shaft.
