Terratek Cordless Strimmer Review – 18V/20V-Max Lithium-Ion, Telescopic Lightweight Powerful Grass Trimmer, 25cm Cutting Diameter, Battery, Charger & Quick Change Spare Blades Included, Grass Edger Lawn Cutter
Summary
Terratek makes a range of popular and reliable garden tools including cordless lawnmowers, leaf blowers, and hedge trimmers. They are known for reliability and good value for money. One of the advantages is that the batteries are interchangeable between tools.
The Terratek Cordless Strimmer is lightweight, comfortable and effective. It converts easily into an edge trimmer in a simple twist of the head. It also uses quick to replace nylon blades for added convenience.
Key Features
- Light
- Comfortable ergonomic handles
- Nylon blade
- 25cm Cutting diameter
- Head rotates for edging
- Interchangeable batteries
Practicalities
This trimmer is all about being practical. It is only 2kg and has comfortable soft-grip handles. The shaft can be adjusted for a comfortable height.
The blade is nylon so is a lot less hassle than a complicated and fiddly string spool. If you want to change it to an edger, the head rotates 180-degrees with minimal effort.
Weight
At only 2kg this strimmer is light and easy to operate. There are very few cordless trimmers or strimmers less than 2kg.
Power
The Terratek peaks at 20V but operates at a steady 18V. This offers enough power for most small and medium gardens but may battle a bit with really long or wet grass.
Charge time
The recommended charge time is 4 to 5 hours.
String type
This trimmer uses a nylon blade so there is no string. The blade is super-easy to change and they click on and off in seconds. The blade works well but some have questioned their durability.
The blades do not last too long and stones and rocks will damage them quickly. Replacements are available and the pricing is reasonable. You need to decide if you want the convenience of the nylon blade or the durability of the string.
Feed type
This does not apply as the Terratek uses a nylon blade.
Edge trimming
The headof the Terratek Cordless Strimmer is easy to adjust by 180-degrees to instantly turn the trimmer into a handy edger.
Features
Comfort is the main feature of this trimmer. It is light, has a telescopic handle and comfortable rubber handles. This makes it easy for anyone to use without getting tired. The nylon blade adds to the convenience as they are really fast and easy to replace.
The battery is interchangeable with other Terratek products and the head can be adjusted easily to do neat edges.
Pros:
- Light and comfortable
- Adjusts to ideal height and position
- No-fuss nylon blade
- Trimming and edging
- Cordless trimmer
Cons:
- Stones damage the nylon blades
- Not suitable for long or wet grass

Hi was using this strimmer and just stopped working no gig out of it at all. Charged battery still nothing
Hi Collette, it does indeed sound like there is a fault with the Strimmer. It may be best to contact Terratek support to see what they advise.
Please let me know how you get on.

Hi,
The blade holder broke recently. I’ve ordered a replacement , but can’t unscrew the old one. Any idea how I should go about doing this?
Thanks,
Nick
Hi Nick
Do you mean the round plastic holder. There is a Philips cross headed screw that needs to be unscrewed. Is it this screw that will not budge?
Try some WD40 and leave to soak for a while.
Please let me know if you manage to get it replaced.
Thanks
Mark
I have the same problem, its not that the screw wont turn its the fact the whole spindle turns with it, the spindle is round so cant grip it whilst unscrewing
Hi
Did you manage to get a tool to help remove the disc. If so can you tell me whats the name for it.
Regards
Sandra
Same problem here – did you work out how to remove the screw?!
we are having the same problem the screw wont budge … do you know what the name o the tool is called as it is flat on one side and round on the other

I had the same problem, found out later you have to unscrew clock wise to remove.
