Ranking of the best electric brush cutters

Electric brush cutters are special devices whose appearance resembles a traditional chainsaw. They work from the electrical network, and therefore allow you to easily cut even quite thick branches and cope with such work, which would have to spend a lot of time using a mechanical brush cutter. However, there are disadvantages. For example, an electric brush cutter can not work in wet conditions due to the high probability of electric shock. In addition, the limited length of the cord makes inaccessible areas remote from the outlet, and the use of various extenders also promises a lot of trouble. In general, there are both positive and negative sides.
