Frequently asked questions

Can a value cordless brush cutter take a metal blade?

Yes: the Greenworks GD40BC, both Einhell Agillos and the Ryobi RBC36X26B come with one, and the Makita DUR190LZX3 takes a 230 mm metal blade.

Is a bare tool good value?

If you already own batteries from that platform, it's the best value of all. If not, add the cost of batteries and a charger — or choose a kit like the Ryobi RBC36X26B.

Will these prices change?

Yes, often. We checked on 27 October 2026.
