FAQs

How does a grass trimmer work?

Instead of a traditional blade, grass trimmers use a single strand of material as the cutting line. When powered, the string rotates at speed, slicing the grass.

What is the difference between a grass trimmer and a strimmer?

In the world of lawn care tools, a grass trimmer and a strimmer are the same thing. They are the same tools with a spinning cutting head powered by electricity or petrol.

Are petrol strimmers better than electric?

It depends! Electric strimmers are easy to use for cutting short grass, while a petrol strimmer would be most effective for cutting thick, overgrown grass in a large garden.

Can you cut the grass when it's wet with an electric strimmer?

While cutting wet grass with an electric strimmer is possible, it is not ideal. Wet grass may clamp together on the cutting line, leaving an uneven appearance.

How do you collect grass after strimming?

Grab your garden rake and get to work. Rake the grass, collecting it together. Remove it from the lawn using an outdoor vacuum cleaner or by hand.

Can you cut long grass with a strimmer?

To get the hang of it, start by setting the strimmer at a higher level to trim the tops of the grass. Then, gradually lower it and make additional passes until you reach your desired grass height.

How often should you replace the trimmer line?

There’s no rule of thumb for when to replace the trimmer line. It depends on the line’s thickness and the kind of lawn you’re cutting. Replace the line when it becomes less effective or looks a little worse for wear.
