Set Contains: 1 x Line spool (F 016 800 351) Review: the cutting wire is very inconvenient to fix and use - The wire keep cutting and I have to extend the wire every 10 min of use. very inconvenient and difficult to use. Review: UPDATED REVIEW - It is a great tool! - UPDATED REVIEW: I was finally able to find a 'how to' video online that demonstrated how to remedy the faults of the machine. Consequently, it is only fair to update my review because when the machine is working, it is a great tool, and now I know how to rethread the wire/cable in minutes, it is not such a big deal. This strimmer works like any strimmer, in terms of the cable sometimes autofeeding, sometimes not autofeeding. Nevertheless it is a great tool, and does the job with ease. I would have dropped a star becuase even though I now know how to deal with most problems, I still think the 'instructions' (if they can loosely be described as such) are absolutely hopeless! It is such a shame to find so many quality manufacturers reducing their product instructions to 'generic' forms of pointless images. Worse still, having no supporting videos describing how to do simple maintenance (that is required) of their products. So still a big disappointment in these terms. But the strimmer is a 'Bosch-quality' tool, so it gets all 5 stars. If you are not already familiar with a Bosch strimmer tool when you purchase this tool, my advice would be to watch a video by eSpares, where Amy explains, and demonstrates how to deal with the wire/cable (very quickly, in only 3.50 minutes!). Go to Youtube and enter the search term: 'What to Check if Your Grass Trimmer Line Doesn’t Feed Through or Breaks' Bosch are great tools, after watching the demonstration, you'll have no problems changing, or checking the cutting line. PREVIOUS REVIEW: ...literally!...copy n pasted from 'Mary Ann II' review, as covers all my points: I am generally a big fan of German products, and have happily bought Bosch tools in the past. However, I am shocked by the uselessness of this grass trimmer. Indeed, what other people wrote in their negative reviews is 100% true. Let's list the points here: 1) No English instructions, but just a series of obscure drawings to interpret. I tried to find some written instructions on the Bosch website, but no. 2) The booklet in the package shows some kind of hook on the back to keep the cable in place, but there is no such thing. 3) You cannot use it for more than a few SECONDS before the plastic line/wire breaks. The wire did not last, not even a whole minute! 4) You want to fix the broken plastic wire? Good luck finding out how, based solely on the obscure drawings. I will be writing to Bosch for some instructions at some point, but no hurry as summer over and reverted back to using appropriate hand tools. I am still a fan of Bosch, my home is full of their tools...but this has to be the most frustrating tool I have ever purchased from Bosch...or any brand if it comes to that! Message to any Bosch readers: this tool is not fit for purpose. If you must retail it as is, proper instructions on disassembly of the cord unit and reassembly should be included in the packaging with the unit. ## Features - The Bosch ART 24 corded grass t has an high power 400 W motor, making it ideal for smaller gardens. - It automatic twin line cutting system lets you storm through wild and unruly patches of undergrowth just as easily as normal grass. - Ergonomic design for comfortable and easy grass trimming reducing muscle strain weighing just 2.5 kg. - It has a 90 degree rotating cutter head which allows you to switch from trimming to edging with just one click. - Its easy grip and height adjustable telescopic handle mean you'll do it with perfect posture too..Note Never operate the t with missing or broken guards or shields or without guards or shields in position.Note Wait until the cutting head has completely stopped as the head continues to rotate after the trimmer is switched off, the cutting system can cause injury/damage ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B01AK2DXNS | | Assembly required | Yes | | Brand | BOSCH | | Brand Name | BOSCH | | Color | black | | Colour | black | | Customer Reviews | 4.3 out of 5 stars 1,099 Reviews | | Cutting width | 24 Centimeters | | EU Spare Part Availability Duration | 1 Years | | Included Components | ART 24 ELEC GRASS TRIMMER 8A5870 | | Item Type Name | Electric Grass trimmer - 24 cm Cutting Diameter | | Item Weight | 5.73 Pounds | | Item weight | 5.73 Pounds | | Manufacturer | Bosch | | Manufacturer Part Number | 06008A5870 | | Model Number | 06008A5870 | | Number of Items | 1 | | Pattern | Single | | Power Source | ac | | Power source | ac | | Required Assembly | Yes | | Size | Lawn trimmer - 24 cm | | Style Name | Lawn trimmer - 24 cm | | Unit Count | 1 Count | ## Product Details - **Brand:** BOSCH - **Colour:** black - **Cutting width:** 24 Centimeters - **Item weight:** 5.73 Pounds - **Power source:** ac ## Images ![Bosch 06008A5870 ART 24 Electric Grass Trimmer, Cutting Diameter 24 cm - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61tm85fsvqL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐ the cutting wire is very inconvenient to fix and use *by A***D on 12 July 2023* The wire keep cutting and I have to extend the wire every 10 min of use. very inconvenient and difficult to use. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ UPDATED REVIEW - It is a great tool! *by S***P on 31 October 2021* UPDATED REVIEW: I was finally able to find a 'how to' video online that demonstrated how to remedy the faults of the machine.

Unfortunately, that’s not what I need – I have a mower for cutting the grass, and the reason for buying this was to edge the lawn alongside paths and walls, and it’s not good at that. It replaced a Black & Decker equivalent that gave up the ghost after thirty-something years, and in comparison with that this has one major and one minor weakness: - The major one is that the cutting arc of the rotating line is completely within the head cover (the old B&D one cut 10 or 20mm out beyond the edge of the cover). This is probably better for safety, but in edging position means that it’s very difficult to see where it’s going to cut, and then to hold the head at a point where it cuts but doesn’t gouge the lawn. - It’s much heavier at the head end. With the head turned to edging position, and combined with the problem described above, it’s quite hard to manage with any accuracy. Neither of these points would matter very much if it’s being used for mowing rather than edging, and I notice that one model variant comes with a small wheel for attachment to the back of the head, which would presumably help to keep it at a constant height and also support the weight. There are a couple of other points which were less important to me and which have been mentioned in other reviews anyway – the slider that allows the head to rotate is very stiff and quite awkward to use; the on/off switch is easy to trigger accidentally (when you might be holding the ‘active’ end); the instructions could be better; etc. etc. I won’t send it back, as I’ve now used it twice, but now that I’ve used it I wouldn’t buy it again. ## Frequently Bought Together - Bosch 06008A5870 ART 24 Electric Grass Trimmer, Cutting Diameter 24 cm - Bosch F016800462 24 m 1.6 mm Replacement Spool Line - Green - Bosch Home and Garden F016800351 Replacement 6 m x 1.6 mm Spool Line for ART 30-36 LI, ART 30, ART 27 and ART 24, green --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/330829584-bosch-06008a5870-art-24-electric-grass-trimmer-cutting-diameter-24](https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/330829584-bosch-06008a5870-art-24-electric-grass-trimmer-cutting-diameter-24) --- *Product available on Desertcart South Africa* *Store origin: ZA* *Last updated: 2026-10-02*
