What to look for in string trimmers
- Power source
- Battery covers most yards; gas suits sustained heavy-duty work on large properties.
- Shaft type
- Straight shafts reach further and support attachments; curved shafts are lighter for close work.
- Line feed
- Bump feed is the reliable standard; automatic feed is convenient but wastes line.
Trim before you mow — the mower picks up and mulches the clippings instead of leaving them scattered.
