BCA1220 12” Brush Cutter Attachment 56-Volt Lithium-ion Multi Head System, Black

I bought this brush cutter head to clear several areas at the edge of woods on my lot. I was looking forward to getting it because of the very positive experience I've had with every EGO Power+ tool I've bought in the past...and this one did not disappoint! The head came well-packaged and in perfect condition. Took me about 10 minutes to put it together, and that was working slowly and carefully. It's well-built with a carbon fiber shaft and a very solid and very sharp blade--I was impressed with the quality. It has a guard for the blade and also has a barrier bar that gets added to the hand grip of the power head that it attaches to. No problems at all putting it together. The cutter fit very well to the head, nice and snug. I snapped it on, put on the ear and eye protection, and headed out to see how it would work. To give the punchline first: It went through my brush and saplings like they were made of butter. I had a pretty good size area I needed to clear, maybe 1000 sq ft. See attached pics for before and after. To give a perspective, some of the samplings were approx 8 feet tall, some of the were over 1 inch in diameter. Largest was probably about an inch and a half, but the power head + cutter had no problems at all. I was able to clear the entire area, including dragging off all the debris, in about 30 minutes with motor speed on low. I used a 5.0 Ah EGO battery on the head. That made a nice balance for the blade weight. With the shoulder strap on, it was not physically strenuous at all. So, while I was at it, I cleared a few smaller areas! This cutter plus the power head make a great tool. I'm very happy with it and look forward to using it a lot more. Might see if my neighbor needs anything trimmed :-)

Quite an aggressive tool! I cleared a very dense barberry "takeover' on our property. Smashed this nasty brush and even small saplings with ease. Pleasantly surprised how powerful and smooth it operated. Really suggest the neck strap too.

This is the best tool I have ever used!!! Works better than the gas powered one I had!!!! If you need a brush cutter this is the one you want!!!👍🙃😮 When I first turned it on thought it's really fast then there is high speed OH my god its turbo unbelievable speed make sure your wearing safety glasses....buy this for sure 👍🏼👍

This thing is powerful! It cuts though small trees and just keeps going.

Works as you would expect, just don’t use it on rediculously thick underbrush - not a brushhog but a useful tool to add to the Ego System powerhandle! I fitted it to the older model and it worked well but not fully adjustable.

Awesome product. I have several EGO tools so I was expecting another great product when I ordered this brush cutter. I have been clearing an empty field next to my house to try to keep the weeds and vines from overtaking everything. This brush cutter tore through the weeds and underbrush like a hot knife through butter. The only caution I would suggest is to be careful using this because if you hit something in the underbrush like a thick vine or hidden stump the kickback is very strong so it's not a tool you should take lightly while using it. Otherwise, awesome.

This attachment is awesome. Absolutely made short work of some thick grass and shrubs. Made me regret buying a string-based, brush cutter months earlier for the same purpose. It was powerful enough but the heavy duty string would constantly break. Annoying. This, however, doesn’t have that problem with its medieval, metal, tri-tipped blade. Paired with a hefty EGO battery, it’s scary powerful and easily cuts through thick grass and light brush. On that note, don’t let your kids or animals play around you when it’s operational. It will do serious damage if it connects on body parts. Wear good eye and body protection, too. It will sling out debris at a high rate of speed!

The brush cutter works well, but there was one small assembly problem. I also purchase the PH1420 power head with this brush cutter. The brush cutter comes with a "barrier bar" that is meant to be retrofitted to the PH1420 power head. A longer quick release latch is supplied with the barrier bar so that it can be mounted along with the PH1420's handle. Unfortunately the wing nut that's part of the original PH1420 handle will not thread on the new quick release latch. I used a standard M6 nut to mount the barrier bar and that works fine. Before adding my own hardware I did contact EGO tech support, but they were unable to help. The longer quick release latch is not part of the parts list for the brush cutter and they didn't have access to the manual for the brush cutter (where the new latch is referenced) so they weren't able to send a replacement part. This is a new product so I expect this small issue will be fixed in the future. One more detail: Oddly the standard M6 nut fits both the original latch stud and the new latch stud, but the wing nut only fits the original stud. All the threads look relatively clean, so I'm guessing there's a potential "fit class" issue with the wing nut.

I bought this for brush clearing with my EGO trimmer. It works better than I expected, and did a great job without the fumes.

I know it says only compatible with ph1420. I have the 1400 and it worked well. Only difference is the handle and extra support. I ordered an adjustable handle separately so I'm hoping I can get the same outcome without replacing a fully functional unit.

Very good product, worked as expected.

This is a monster. Weedy trees, inch and a half in diameter, cuts through easily. Wish I bought this earlier. If you have a larger property with brush, you won’t regret owning this.

Quick delivery and then immediately put to work and really is a 5 star rating for clearing overgrowth! EGO products have proven for all 4 Canadian seasons to be manageable!
