| SLASHERS - It is advisable that you don't wear gloves or work in wet conditions when using a slasher as good grip is essential for safe use. Slashers fall into general types: the brushing hook, used for cutting light vegetation and grass, and the heavy duty slasher, used for cutting woody vegetation. Dunse Slasher - a short-handled slasher, this is used for light vegetation and hedgelaying preparation.

General Pattern Brushing Hook - is similar to the Irish Brushing Hook but not as robust. |
