String Trimmers Buying Guide

String trimmers, also known as line trimmers  or weed whackers,  help keep your garden neat by trimming grass and plants that lawnmowers  and other devices cannot reach because of corners or tricky angles. They are operated by hand, and are easy to use. They use hard nylon strings to spin at high speeds, cutting grass and plants, and many allow the owner to change the strings for ease. 

What to Look For

You really need to determine what you need before selecting a string trimmer. If you have a small garden with fewer dense plants populating it, an electric string trimmer with a cord might work for you. if you have denser plant life and a larger lawn, a petrol string trimmer might be better. An electric trimmer is much lighter, so if you have back or joint problems, that might work better for you. But keep in mind that a string trimmer will take up room in your garage, and if you get a petrol string trimmer, you'll have to store the petrol containers as well.
