The maintenance of a garden requires the use of a safe device that delivers satisfactory results. The string trimmer is among the equipment that allows for brush clearing. However, it is essential to choose the right type of string depending on the vegetation to achieve a good result.
A string trimmer is generally equipped with a cutting head featuring a nylon string, or alternatively, a head with blades or knives. Their use varies depending on the vegetation to be cut and the degree of work required in a given area. It is important to note that a string cutting head is highly recommended both in terms of safety and to achieve a fine finish. Here are the different types of nylon strings available for a string trimmer:
- a tool with a 2-string head for finishing work;
- a tool with a 4-string head that can handle slightly denser vegetation such as tall grass, small branches, or small brambles.
When it comes to string trimmers, they come in various diameters, and multiple shapes are also available such as:
- standard round strings;
- square strings;
- star-shaped strings;
- serrated strings.
Different diameters are available for each of these strings, ranging from 1.4 mm to 4.5 mm or more. However, the thicker the string, the more powerful the string trimmer’s engine needs to be.
- Nylon strings of 1.4 to 1.6 mm are suitable for tools with less than 25 cc (cubic centimeters).
- Strings with diameters of 3 to 4.5 mm are more appropriate for a 35 cc string trimmer.
- For string trimmers with medium power, the nylon thickness typically ranges between 2 to 2.7 mm.
Due to their usage and resistance, thinner strings are finishing tools while thicker strings can tackle more aggressive vegetation.
The advantages provided by string trimmers with cutting string tools are numerous. In addition to not creating sparks when they come into contact with rocks, pebbles, or concrete, replacement models are abundant. Indeed, in the event of wear, it is easy to procure spools of string in all possible shapes and diameters. Professional string strands are also available for powerful tools.
