A brush cutter is a powerful outdoor tool, resembling a strimmer but with a stronger engine and metal cutting blades. They are designed to cut through thick, tough vegetation that a standard strimmer might struggle with. Brush shredders, also known as brush chippers or wood chippers, are machines used to break down branches, brush, and other woody waste into smaller pieces, often for composting, landscaping, or disposal. They can be portable and easily moved to a job site, making them useful for a variety of tasks, from tree care to site preparation.
