strimmer
Explanation:


A string trimmer, also known as a strimmer, line trimmer, weed wacker, weedy, or whipper snipper, is a powered handheld device that uses a flexible monofilament line instead of a blade for cutting grass and other plants near objects. It consists of a cutting head at the end of a long shaft with a handle or handles and sometimes a shoulder strap. String trimmers powered by an internal combustion engine have the engine on the opposite end of the shaft from the cutting head while electric string trimmers typically have an electric motor in the cutting head.

brushcutter


Explanation:
Zgadzam się z poprzedniczką, ale jeśli ścinano wierzbę na biomasę to raczej nie używano żyłki, lecz czegoś wytrzymalszego, może brushcutter?

Example sentence(s):
  • New generation light ergonomic brushcutter with STIHL ErgoStart for easy jerk free starting.
