Can a string trimmer be used as a weed eater?

Hi Mercedes,

Weed Eater is simply a brand name for a string trimmer. Each trimmer has it's own features so look for the features you want before choosing the one to buy. Wishing you the best.

Linda is correct. Weed Eater is a brand name often used to name all string trimmers. Similar to saying Xerox copy instead of photo copy.

Thanks guys

i love this side

I agree with the others, it is just another name for the Weed Eater. As was mentioned before, check out different ones with different features and if you want gas, electric or cordless. Match what you want to do with the trimmer with the features that are available and also some you can get other heads to do different things you would need another tool for.
