weedeater
Spinning nylon cutter
A weedeater is a handheld power tool that uses a rapidly spinning line of nylon cord to cut grass and weeds in areas a lawnmower can't reach—along fences, around trees, at the edges of sidewalks.
Also called a string trimmer or weed whacker.
The name comes from the Weed Eater brand but is used generically: I need to take the weedeater to that patch by the mailbox.
