Cordless String Trimmers
String Trimmers
Introduction: As summer comes upon us again most homeowners are busy tending to their lawns and gardens. It’s time to sharpen up the lawn mower blades and get out the power trimmer, either electric or gas powered. Or maybe an electric cordless string trimmer. Long before these string power
trimmers came into existence we did the trimming
with hand operated trimming sheers or sickles.
Because it was so much work over and above mowing
the lawn we probably didn’t do as much trimming as
we should have. Approximately four decades ago
the string trimmer became available that greatly
facilitated doing the trimming in those places the
lawn mower couldn’t get to. There were basically
two types of string trimmers, the electric and
small gasoline engine. They really work great and
there was no slacking when it came to trimming the
grass and even cutting weeds in areas where you
would never take a lawnmower. The electric string trimmer was
particularly handy because it was quiet. The down
side was that you had to string out many feet of
extension cord to reach most of the areas you
wanted to trim. The small gasoline engine trimmer
was equally handy but it was very noisy and
required mixing oil with the gas as they are all
two cycle engines. As such they are very noisy
because they run at a very high speed. In addition
they are somewhat smoky and the noise is very
annoying for the neighbors. In recent times the cordless
string trimmer has become available. It embodies
the best parts of both the old electric string
trimmer and the small engine string trimmer. They
are extremely quiet, which is an attribute that
pleases the neighbors. The cordless string trimmer is
lightweight and simple to use. Many types even
feature automatic spool feeds that enable you to
work without needing to continuously adjust or
restring the strings. The best string trimmers have
specialized guards which are excellent for doing
work in the vicinity of gardens and flowerbeds. A big benefit of a cordless
string trimmer is that it enables you to work with
a variety of different lawns and yards whether you
are just providing your lawn with some finishing
touches or you are trimming numerous lawns each day
as a skilled landscaper. This also permits you to
trim densely wooded regions and mowing down weeds
or patches of long grass as well as edging
sidewalks and driveways.
The greatest advantage of that
the cordless string trimmer over the small gasoline
engine trimmer is there is no more mixing of oil
and gasoline. They are considerably quieter with no
smelly smoke exhaust and are more effective. They
operate on batteries which when fully charged last
a long time. They are rechargeable an only take
approximately thirty minutes to full recharge. I recommend this summer that you consider a cordless string trimmer to trim your lawn and gardens. They are a great product. Related articles:
