Accessories
Many string trimmers allow the hub, the head or the lower part of the shaft to be replaced with accessories. Common accessories include:
- replacing the monofilament line with metal or plastic blades.
- replacing the lower shaft with a small chain saw to create a powered pole saw.
- replacing the lower shaft with a hedge trimmer.
- replacing the lower shaft with a cultivator.
Quick release shafts are offered on many newer models which do not require any tools to switch in accessories. Typically only gasoline powered trimmers offer shaft powered accessories, as electric or battery driven units don't generate enough power.
