Upgrade your STIHL brushcutter with the GrassCut 250-32 blade kit for cleaner cuts and reduced debris. Its 32-tooth steel design delivers precision mowing in car parks, roadsides, and commercial spaces, improving safety, control, and finish quality.
Metal Brushcutter Blades for Demanding Work
Unlike nylon line, metal strimmer blades and brushcutter blades are designed for more challenging vegetation. Their robust construction makes them particularly useful when maintaining overgrown gardens, rough grassland, roadside areas, and other sites where ordinary trimming equipment may struggle.
The best cutting attachment depends on both your machine and the material you need to clear. We stock metal blades with a variety of sizes and tooth configurations, helping you match the accessory to the task rather than relying on one blade for every type of vegetation.
Grass Cutting Blades for Thick and Dry Growth
Long, tough, and dry grass often requires something more substantial than mowing line. Our collection of grass cutting blades includes STIHL steel attachments with different tooth configurations, providing options for a range of demanding mowing jobs.
Certain blades are also designed to tackle reeds, weeds, and other dense vegetation. For professional users working in public areas, the STIHL GrassCut 250-32 offers a particularly specialised solution. Its distinctive tooth design helps reduce debris projection, making it well suited to use on roadsides, parks and commercial spaces.
Brush Knives for Dense Vegetation and Scrub
Where vegetation becomes heavier, a brush knife provides another step up in cutting capability. These strong metal brushcutter blades are designed to tackle challenging growth that would quickly overwhelm standard strimmer line.
Our range includes STIHL brush knives in different sizes, alongside an ECHO three-cutter metal blade intended for demanding brush and reed clearance. These accessories provide a robust solution for users faced with thick weeds, scrub, and other stubborn vegetation.
Choosing the correct blade helps your brushcutter operate as intended while providing a more efficient approach to clearance work.
Circular Saw Blades for Woody Growth
Some compatible brushcutters and clearing saws are capable of tackling more than grass and scrub. Ron Smith & Co also stocks specialist STIHL circular saw blades designed for cutting bushes and woody material.
Options include chisel-tooth and carbide-tipped WoodCut blades. The latter provides a particularly durable solution when cutting woody growth in sandy conditions or close to the ground.
These specialist attachments are intended for compatible machines and specific applications, so always check the relevant product information before fitting a circular saw blade to your equipment.
Brushcutter Blade Fixing Kits
Choosing the correct cutting attachment is only part of the process. A metal blade must also be properly secured to a machine designed to accept it.
Our brushcutter blade fit kits provide the necessary components for selected models. Depending on the kit, these may include parts such as a thrust washer, rider plate, and left-hand nut. We stock dedicated STIHL blade fit kits for compatible FS brushcutters and clearing saws, while Honda users will find a blade and fixing kit designed for selected VersaTool equipment.
Some individual blades require a separate fitting kit. Checking these requirements before ordering helps ensure you have everything needed to install your chosen cutting attachment correctly.
Choosing the Right Strimmer or Brushcutter Blade
Not every metal blade fits every brushcutter or strimmer. Compatibility depends on factors such as the mounting arrangement and blade dimensions. Furthermore, some machines are not designed for metal cutting attachments at all.
It is therefore important to check both machine compatibility and the type of vegetation a blade is designed to tackle. Grass cutting blades are suited to demanding grassy growth, while brush knives move into heavier vegetation and scrub. Compatible circular saw blades provide a solution when the work involves woody material.
Our individual product pages provide further details about suitable machines and applications. If you’re uncertain which blade or fixing kit you need, our experienced team will be happy to advise you.

FAQs
Why should I use a metal blade instead of nylon line on my brushcutter?
Metal blades are designed for tougher cutting tasks, making them ideal for dense grass, brambles, nettles and thick weeds. While nylon line is perfect for routine trimming, a metal blade provides greater cutting power and durability when tackling more demanding vegetation.
Can I fit a metal blade to any strimmer or brushcutter?
Not all machines are compatible with metal blades. Before purchasing, check your machine's specifications to ensure it is approved for blade use and that the blade size and mounting system are suitable for your model.
What is a brushcutter blade fixing kit?
A fixing kit contains the components needed to safely install a metal blade onto a compatible brushcutter. Depending on the machine, this may include items such as thrust washers, rider plates, nuts and locking pins to ensure the blade is securely mounted.
Which type of metal blade should I choose?
The best blade depends on the vegetation you need to cut. Grass-cutting blades are ideal for long grass and light weeds, while brush knives and circular saw blades are better suited to thicker growth, scrub and woody material. Always select a blade recommended for your machine and application.
How often should I replace or sharpen a metal brushcutter blade?
A metal blade should be sharpened whenever cutting performance begins to decline or the blade shows signs of wear. If the blade becomes damaged, cracked or excessively worn, it should be replaced immediately to maintain safe and efficient operation.
