The cutting width of 17 inches makes it versatile enough for both trimming around tight areas and clearing larger sections of grass.

Durability is another strong suit of the T242, as it is constructed with high-quality materials that are built to withstand tough conditions. The trimmer’s design includes vibration-dampening technology, which minimizes user fatigue and allows for greater control while operating the machine.

In addition, the T242 features an ergonomic handle design that provides optimal comfort and grip, ensuring that users can operate the trimmer for extended periods without discomfort. The adjustable handle allows users to customize their grip position based on their height and preference, further enhancing the overall user experience.
