The right tool can make a big difference especially when wanting to make your yard more attractive. A weed eater can provide you ease when putting the final touches on your lawn. You have an array of options to choose from when deciding on a new weed eater. A good weed eater will feel balanced and comfortable in your hand. Here are several options to help you determine which weed eater will help you attain a perfectly trimmed yard.
Gas Weed Eater
A gas weed eater is the most powerful and can plow down larger, thicker weeds. There are two types of gas engines:
- 2-Cycle – This engine is smaller and less expensive. It will also have less fatiguing vibration while using.
- 4-Cycle – This engine is quieter and more fuel efficient. It is heavy but can cut through large weeds.
Electric Weed Eater
The electric weed eater is lighter, eco-friendly and easy to handle.
Battery Powered
This is the best tool if you have a small lawn. They are more expensive but make sure you purchase one with high voltage batteries to efficiently cut through grass and weeds.
One of the biggest factors in determining your weed eater is how it feeds the string.
Bump Line
A bump line weed eater manually advances the string. It is a more simplified system making repairs quicker and easier.
Automatic
An automatic line weed eater is more prevalent in stores. It provides a less attentive weed trimming experience and you will finish trimming faster.
Rotating Head
A rotating head weed eater will allow you to also cut perpendicular to the ground without having to purchase an edger.
Adjustable Length
An adjustable length weed eater is good if multiple members of your household will be using the tool.
Straight Shaft
A weed eater with a straight shaft is naturally longer making it easier to reach under objects. It gives you better balance and has more attachments available.
Curved Shaft
A curved shaft weed eater is lighter and easier to maneuver.
Recommendation
It is always best to put on protective clothes when trimming your yard. There are hundreds of weed eaters on the market to help keep your yard neat and clean. Narrow down your options based on the size of your lawn and find the right one at Home Depot, Lowe’s or Amazon.
