A string trimmer or strimmer is a powered handheld device that uses a flexible monofilament line instead of a blade for cutting grass and other plants near objects. It consists of a cutting head at the end of a long shaft with a handle or handles and sometimes a shoulder strap.
String trimmers may also be known as edge trimmers, line trimmers, snipperwhippers, weed whackers, weed whips, weed eaters and by many other local and brand names.
