STRING TRIMMER

String trimmers are handheld gardening tools used to get into places that a

lawn mower can’t reach. They are perfect to help you cut down brush, weeds

and longer grass on steep inclines. String trimmers are also used to edge or

trim for a noticeably “finished” yard.

Gasoline powered string trimmers offer power, and cord free operation at a

competitive price. This is attractive for maintaining large yards, tall grass and

weeds, or clearing brush. Electric trimmers are competent for many general

trimming tasks.

With its long handle, light weight, and whirling string, a string trimmer is ideal

for a world of yard maintenance. Trim away grass and weeds against a fence,

right up to tree trunks, and underneath shaggy boughs. Straighten edges

around flowerbeds, sidewalks, and driveways. Tidy up a hillside, level scrub

and saplings, overall it can give your lawn and yard great finishing touches.

Although string trimmers are available in electric and cordless models, these

are generally made for light duty projects. You’ll need a gasoline-powered

string trimmer for tall grass, weeds, and any more industrious projects like

clearing brush or clearing rocky terrain.

Briggs & Stratton engines are found in powerful gas powered string trimmers

that whirl a plastic line at speeds up to 400 mph. String trimmers with Briggs &

Stratton engines range between $150 and $300.
