Cordless Weed Wackers
The first question that always gets asked when discussing weed wackers is, "what is the difference between a weed wacker and a weed eater?" Well, in short - nothing. They both are neighborhood terms, depending on where you grew up, to define in technical terms a "string trimmer". Since I grew up in CT, and I believe that north easterners more commonly use the term "weed wacker" for sake of argument or in depth discussion in this article, "weed wacker" is what we are going to use.
The cordless weed wacker solves four problems. Problem one is the problem of all electrical weed wackers with a cord and that is mobility. Weed wackers with cords are limited in their area range of service by the length of the power cord they are attached too. Extension cords, usually come in 50 feet, but can come in more or less as well. That means that when you plug in your electric weed wacker, you are extremely limited. If you have a small yard, it might not be a big issue, but most people will find that being connected to the wall by an extension cord, limits the freedom and enjoyment of weed wacking your lawn. Big constraints, with corners of the house, getting by Parked cars in the driveway, bushes, trees, etc.. But with the cordless weed wacker, you can roam freely within your yard, without tripping on, or tying up cords.
Cordless weed wackers solve another problem that gas weed wackers cant. Noise. One of the most annoying things to wake up to on a Saturday morning in the summer is the sound of a gas weed wacker engine buzzing in your ears. With all electric weed wackers, battery operated included, you easily wack weeds at 6am without waking the neighbors.
Problem number three - Weight. With gas powered, the wight can be a little cumbersome, especially if you have a large yard, and/or aren't in the best shape. 2 and 4 cycle gas engines are known for being alot heavier than cordless weed wackers.
Last and final problem solved is the environment. With electric battery opeated weed wckers, you dont have toi wororry about tleaviung a substantial carbin footprint since their are little to no emmisons unlike their gas brethren.
Now lets look at the downside of owning a battery operated weed wacker. Firstly is the fact they aren't as mobile as gas ones. Yes they are more mobile than electric weed wackers with cords, but they just don't stand up to the mobility you get with a gas weed wacker for one simple reason. A tank of gas will last a lot longer than the life of a battery. usually batteries on weed wackers will last around a half an hour some up an hour, but try wacking the toughest weeds in your lawn while all of a sudden the battery starts dying down. Not fun at all!
lastly and probably the biggest issue that people have with cordless weed wackers is the fact that just are not as powerful as gas weed wackers. Gas weed wackers can handle some pretty tough weeds and you really need to research what kinds of weeds you have in your lawn that need to be wacked, and review the electric battery operated weed wackers that you might plan on purchasing just to make sure that customers haven't complained on their overall power.
