    Here in the States a brand name has become generic for those things. Like Kleenex and Band-aids before it, string trimmers are usually referred to as Weed-eaters.

    As for the thank you, you ARE cute and I AM kinky, so live with it.

    And thanks Cats :D

    They have this plastic stuff like thick fishing line that spins around at the base and cuts grass/weeds.

    I don't know what you call them there but here's a picture...

    Is that a black and decker electric one?

    Looks like the 1101 model. I went with the name brand, as the Craftsman and B & D ones I've had before burned out on my fence in just a couple of seasons. The yellow sucker's going strong after four.

    Filament? Like fishing line? That's how they got started, I think, but hooking a wahoo on weedwhacker(satisfied, String?) line would be impossible. Be fun to watch somebody else try.
