Are String Trimmers With Attachments Interchangeable?

Identification

• A string trimmer utilizes a cutting line, or string, that rotates quickly to cut foliage. It generally has a long arm attached to the rotating cutting line assembly so that the user can stand straight while working, away from the flying debris.

Features

• Most manufacturers make multiple attachments to make the string trimmer more versatile in use. Typically, the attachments are interchangeable on the same model trimmer.

Considerations

• Each string trimmer model has a unique shape and design. The attachment parts from different manufacturers will not fit all string trimmers. Improper, or loose, connection between mismatched attachments and a string trimmer can result in a cutting danger for the user.
