The Cobra HM381 is a lightweight and environmentally friendly hand-propelled cylinder mower, celebrated with a Gardener’s World award. It is expertly designed to make light work of maintaining small to medium-sized lawns, delivering a precise, high-quality cut without the noise or emissions of a petrol engine.
Precision Cutting with a 5-Bladed Cylinder
At the core of the HM381 is a 5-bladed hardened steel cylinder cutting system. This design cuts the grass blades cleanly and sharply, much like scissors, which promotes healthier, greener lawn growth. The precision of a cylinder mower provides a superior finish compared to standard rotary mowers, making it the perfect choice for gardeners who take pride in their lawn’s appearance.
Adjustable Cutting Heights & Classic Stripes
The mower offers four easily adjustable cutting heights, ranging from a close 13mm up to 38mm. Adjusting the height is a simple, tool-free process achieved by moving the pins on either side of the blade. This versatility allows you to adapt to different grass conditions throughout the season. Furthermore, the integrated split rear roller not only helps in creating those sought-after classic lawn stripes but also provides stability and makes turning at the end of each pass smooth and effortless.
Convenient Grass Collection
The HM381 comes complete with a 25-litre fabric grass bag to collect clippings, keeping your lawn neat and tidy. An adjustable strap on the bag allows the mower to be used at a lower handle angle for improved comfort and more efficient collection. When it’s time to empty, the bag can be uncoupled from the handle shaft quickly and easily.
