Tools and Hardware Reviews of Gerber 22-41061 Brush Thinner Machete with SheathCustomer Review: Poke weeds be gone! Summary: 5 Stars
Various hearty weeds grow thickly around my fence lines and need frequent trimming. I need a tool that's lightweight, easily portable and effective for a variety of things. My string trimmer works for the grasses, but not the sturdier weeds and the blade trimmer works for those, but not the grasses, plus it's heavy and tiring to use. I decided to try this little tool and am so glad I did. It's great. It's sharp and slices off the poke weeds in a flash and can handle things with pretty stiff stems, plus tall grasses when I grab a sheath of them by the tops. The curved blade makes the effort required minimal. I was so pleased with the ease with which I was able to clear around the paddock fence, I set out with my folding saw and this tool to cover one whole side of pasture fence and it looks terrific. Only three more to go :)
The trimmers are great for specialized tasks, but when I am trying to trim a variety of things, they seem more trouble than help as I have to make multiple passes. While this tool can't manage the harder saplings, my little folding saw makes short work of those and carrying both this tool and that one is easy since both are lightweight.
It also makes my trail clearing activities much more productive as I was carrying clippers, loppers and the folding saw, which was a bit cumbersome. Since this tool handles a good variety of things, I only need to pull the saw out for the bigger saplings and cedars. Of course I don't get as close to the ground as I would with a trimmer since I don't want to be bending down all the way, but it's quite reasonable and since I'm less tired after using it, I don't resist going back out there when needed as I did at the thought of fussing with the eccentricities of the trimmers.
All in all, I consider this purchase money very well spent. The zippered case is good quality and even has a protective plastic trough for the blade edge. This little machete will get a lot use around the farm.
