thoroughly enjoyable video. getting my first trimmer soon, an electric with a cord, just for cleaning up a weedy area behind my house, to keep communal driveway clear. searched for "how to use" videos, this is the first one that gave me much needed detail. thank you very much and you've got great teeth!

um been doing lawns for a while, couple of suggestions when your edging walk back words instead of the way your going, you should get a better result. when going around your pine needle bed slightly turn your trimmer head in towards the bed and walk back words so that you get a better groomed look and the trimmer will blow the clippings out into the lawn instead of into the needles. after a while it will build up and look bad. while edging also walk back words it will give you a cleaner look. good video for the most part. also when trimming the long grass start at the edge and weed whip sso that the grass is being blown out at you to clear a path for the next swipe and allow the grass somewhere to go.

Wasp protection with a trimmer - that's a video I'd like to see. :D Thank you for your video - clear concise and covers all the essentials. I've been strimming for a while, but never thought to see if I was doing it correctly until now; thankfully I don't seem to have fallen into any bad habits. Here in France, I'd say most lawns are about 50% grass, and 50% 'weeds', we don't have quite the same approach to lawn care, but once cut and trimmed, it still looks pretty good!

I've actually started to speak to customers in an alabama accent recently. I'm from New Zealand...

Why is the camera man not showing the head of the trimmer as you're turning and flipping it. That's the part us newbies literally need to see, lol. Thanks for the info!

[davemegpoid]

idk about the last one. I use the weed wacker in a different angle to not only get it done, but to prevent rocks from from f me up. I learned the hard way lol

I just bought a new Stihl fs56 RC string trimmer it's amazing to use with the auto speed feed trimmer head the power of my Stihl fs56 RC is 27cc it's a nice string trimmer

Thanks from a UK viewer, I have learned a lot from your video but the removal of the shield I had not thought about but being able to see exactly where the string is cutting is going to be most useful.

Removing the guard and extending the trimmer line (from 7" to 8-11") reduces the RPM's and increases the engine heat. You'll shorten the life of your trimmer.
Not to mention a lot more grass & debris flying.

Dude, I was thinking about removing the guard for a while . I think it's a good idea. I will try it today and let you know what happened

[SonicBoomC]

I have their blower. I might get their trimmer too. ME and my dad used to always flip edge. We used to walk backwards, but forward is probably better

[scottrathbun]

Thank you for sharing your knowledge. I enjoy learning from you.

I prefer my Milwaukee M18 - It works GREAT upside down. No noise. No fumes.

[jeremywilson]

Great job Jason! Man, you can do ANYTHING grass

[Nothingmuch]

Excellent info brother! I was going to buy an edger too, but prob not now. Just the weed eater should do it! Saved me a bunch of cash!

When I do a flat trim around the bed are usually go to my left to avoid throwing the clippings in the bed. Love the video
