  String trimmer - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A string trimmer, also called a line trimmer, whipper snipper 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.
String trimmers powered by an internal combustion engine have the engine on the opposite end of the shaft from the cutting head while electric string trimmers typically have an electric motor in the cutting head.
Many string trimmers allow the hub, the head or the lower part of the shaft to be replaced with accessories.

String trimmers are fairly easy to use, as evidenced by the swarms of ground maintenance members waving them like magic wands over the lawns of office complexes and public parks.
String trimmers cut a 10 to 17 inch swath, depending on the model, so give your trees and buildings a wide berth until you've mastered the weed-whacking finesse needed to work around structures or plant material.
Generally, trimmer string is released by the bump method (you push the spool on the ground to release string) or by automatic feed.

 Cutting head for string trimmer - Patent 4490910
During operation of the string trimmer 22, the line feeding procedure to be described subsequently tends to force the hub 46 into tighter locking engagement with the rear plate 44.
When the string trimmer 22 is used to cut vegetation, the spool 38 is rotationally driven by the motor drive shaft 34, and the housing 42 is in turn rotationally driven by the spool 38 through the force transmitted at the upper contact surface 82.
When the string trimmer 22 is being used to cut vegetation, the lower spool rib 78 and the hub rib 86 are not in contact but are contacted together only during the line feeding procedure, to be described subsequently.

 Personal watercraft using string trimmer or similar power source - Patent 5083948
The modified string timmer may be used as both a power system for the watercraft and also provides directional control by turning the attached handlebars or fairing in order to rotate the power system about an axis concentric with the driveshaft and thereby change the direction of the thrust line of the propeller(s) or impeller(s).
Typically, any string trimmer which might be modified for use as a power system 12 for such a watercraft 10 will have a driveshaft housing 22 which is curved for greater ease of use in its intended operation.
However, some string trimmers are equipped with centrifugal clutches at the output end of the driveshaft 22, and in some cases the clutch may be integral with the string cutting head which is removed for the installation of propeller or propellers 34 and shroud 36.

With all the rocks and trees we needed a string trimmer, and with all the brush we needed something for the open spaces, so this seemed like the perfect piece of equipment.
After we finally used up all the trimmer line that came with the mower, we were unable to find replacement line at Wal-Mart, where we bought it, or anywhere else in town, for that matter.
The trimmer line that comes with this model is VERY heavy-duty, and is key to the efficiency of clearing dense, thick brush.
