weed eater
Lawn edge trimmer
A weed eater is a handheld power tool that cuts grass and weeds using a rapidly spinning nylon line.
Also called a string trimmer or weed whacker.
It handles areas mowers can't reach—along fences, around trees, at the edges of sidewalks: I need to run the weed eater along the back fence.
