Weedwack

A string trimmer, also called a "weed eater" or a "weed-wacker", 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, whipper snippers, string trimmer, weed whips, strimmers and by many other local and brand names.
