What is a "strimmer"?
A strimmer is a gardening tool used to cut grass, weeds, and plants in areas that are difficult to reach with a lawnmower, such as along edges, fences, or around trees. It typically has a long handle and a spinning head that uses a nylon line or blade to trim vegetation. Strimmers are available in different types, including electric, battery-powered, or gas-powered models, and are effective for maintaining a neat and tidy garden or lawn. They can also be used for cutting thicker weeds or grass.
Example
