string trimmers

Motorized grass cutters

String trimmers are handheld power tools that cut grass and weeds using rapidly spinning nylon line rather than a metal blade.

Also called weed eaters, weed whackers, or line trimmers.

They reach areas mowers can't—along fences, around trees, at lawn edges: I need to hit the sidewalk edges with the string trimmer.
