Product Description
Brushless cordless 2-in-1 brush cutter
The '20V Max' (18V) SKIL 0255 is a brushless cordless brush cutter. The brushless motor is faster, stronger and lasts 10 times longer than a comparable brushed motor. You can use this tool with two accessories: a metal cutting blade or a two-line strimmer spool system. This makes the tool suitable for cutting brushwood, scrub, bramble or for cutting grass and weeds under bushes as well as on slopes and edges that can not be reached with a lawn mower. Equipped with a ‘Tap&Go’ line-feeding system, the SKIL 0255 with strimmer spool allows quick and easy line feed when necessary. All you need to do is press the button under the line spool onto the ground and the line is extended automatically. This cordless brush cutter has softgrip handles for extra working comfort. Additionally, a harness helps secure your control over the job by distributing the weight of the tool and optimising balance. Thanks to SKIL’s exclusive ‘Easy Storage’ design, this tool takes up minimal storage space after use. The SKIL 0255 CA is supplied with a metal cutting blade, a spool system, a harness, 'Easy Storage' hook, multi-function wrench and a hex key. The battery isn't included.
