BCA1220 12” Brush Cutter Attachment 56-Volt Lithium-ion Multi Head System, Black

I bought this brush cutter head to clear several areas at the edge of woods on my lot. I was looking forward to getting it because of the very positive experience I've had with every EGO Power+ tool I've bought in the past...and this one did not disappoint! The head came well-packaged and in perfect condition. Took me about 10 minutes to put it together, and that was working slowly and carefully. It's well-built with a carbon fiber shaft and a very solid and very sharp blade--I was impressed with the quality. It has a guard for the blade and also has a barrier bar that gets added to the hand grip of the power head that it attaches to. No problems at all putting it together. The cutter fit very well to the head, nice and snug. I snapped it on, put on the ear and eye protection, and headed out to see how it would work. To give the punchline first: It went through my brush and saplings like they were made of butter. I had a pretty good size area I needed to clear, maybe 1000 sq ft. See attached pics for before and after. To give a perspective, some of the samplings were approx 8 feet tall, some of the were over 1 inch in diameter. Largest was probably about an inch and a half, but the power head + cutter had no problems at all. I was able to clear the entire area, including dragging off all the debris, in about 30 minutes with motor speed on low. I used a 5.0 Ah EGO battery on the head. That made a nice balance for the blade weight. With the shoulder strap on, it was not physically strenuous at all. So, while I was at it, I cleared a few smaller areas! This cutter plus the power head make a great tool. I'm very happy with it and look forward to using it a lot more. Might see if my neighbor needs anything trimmed :-)

A seriously powerful tool - will cut through almost anything (if this isn't enough, it's chainsaw time). It's relatively light weight, but robust and well-built, the blades are very sharp, and resilient even when I occasionally hit a rock. Battery life is on a par with a good string trimmer, and it's easy to use and control, and can work well either in big sweeps or maneuvering in a tight, confined space.

I bought this for brush clearing with my EGO trimmer. It works better than I expected, and did a great job without the fumes.

Works great. Cuts through tough long grass and weeds and takes out buck brush and other non-native shrubs.

I’ve used this a few times now and I have nothing to complain about. I was definitely cutting through the brush pretty well and fast. I love that I can pull this out of the main unit very easily and not have to purchase a fully dedicated tool. I used it for about 30 minutes and did not lose much battery.
