At Omni Impex, we don’t just provide tools, we provide confidence, clarity, and continuous support. Whether you’re a seasoned forestry professional, a landscape architect, or a first-time home gardener, your tools are essential to your productivity and peace of mind. Over the years, we’ve received countless questions from our customers—many of which are recurring themes.
In this blog, we’ve compiled the most frequently asked questions (FAQ)’s along with detailed expert answers, so you can make the most out of your tools—and your time.
1. What’s the difference between a brush cutter and a grass trimmer?
Answer:
Though often confused, they serve different purposes.
- A brush cutter is a heavy-duty tool equipped to handle tough weeds, thick undergrowth, and even woody shrubs. It typically comes with multiple blade attachments and is built for more rugged terrain.
- A grass trimmer (or string trimmer) is designed for light maintenance, such as trimming the edges of your lawn or clearing soft vegetation.
Pro Tip:
If you’re maintaining a small lawn, a grass trimmer may suffice. But for farms, orchards, or uneven fields, a brush cutter is your best bet.
2. Are electric tools better than petrol-powered ones?
Answer:
It depends on your use case.
- Electric tools (corded or battery-powered) are cleaner, quieter, and require less maintenance. Ideal for residential use or compact spaces.
- Petrol-powered tools deliver more power and runtime, making them suitable for large-scale or remote outdoor jobs where charging isn’t an option.
Insight:
More professionals are now opting for battery-powered tools from brands like Milwaukee, thanks to advancements in lithium-ion technology and high torque output.
3. How often should I sharpen my chainsaw chain?
Answer:
Your chainsaw should ideally be sharpened:
- After every 3–5 hours of use
- When you notice fine sawdust instead of wood chips
- If you’re needing to apply force while cutting
A dull chain not only slows you down but increases the risk of accidents. We recommend using Oregon’s precision sharpening tools or visiting an authorized service center like ours for optimal care.
4. Can I use any 2-stroke oil in my tools?
Answer:
No. Always use high-grade 2T oil that is manufacturer-approved. Generic or low-quality oil can lead to:
- Poor engine performance
- Increased carbon deposits
- Reduced tool life
At Omni Impex, we provide recommended oils and lubricants that match your tool’s exact specifications, ensuring smooth performance and long-term durability.
5. Do you provide training or demos for first-time users?
Answer:
Yes, we do—and we highly encourage it.
Our team offers:
- On-site demos
- Virtual training sessions
- Tool safety briefings
- First-time setup support
This is especially helpful for first-time farmers, start-up landscapers, or anyone transitioning from manual to mechanized tools. Safety and confidence go hand-in-hand, and our job is to ensure both.
6. How do I maintain my lawn mower or brush cutter?
Answer:
Routine maintenance makes a huge difference in performance and longevity. Here’s a checklist:
For Lawn Mowers:
- Clean grass clippings from the deck after each use
- Sharpen blades every 25–30 hours of operation
- Check spark plugs and air filters monthly
- Use the right grade of engine oil
For Brush Cutters:
- Check and clean the fuel filter
- Grease the gearbox regularly
- Use sharp, damage-free blades
- Store in a dry, covered space
We also provide a preventive maintenance kit with select purchases and during annual service drives.
7. Do you offer repair services and genuine spare parts?
Answer:
Absolutely. Our after-sales service is a cornerstone of Omni Impex. We:
- Stock genuine branded spare parts for Milwaukee, Oregon, Honiton, and other major brands
- Offer professional diagnostics and repairs
- Provide warranties and post-repair support
Using counterfeit or unverified parts can void warranties and damage your equipment—so always choose authorized service.
