For some yards, a little electric string trimmer is fine. You can handle all the weeds or tall grass along your fence before your arms give out. But if you’ve got a larger-than-the-standard lot and it’s overrun with three of the county’s most invasive weeds (been there, done that), then you may need a more serious power tool… Let’s take a look at the Swisher Trim-N-Mow . This is a string trimmer that’s more like a gas-powered lawn mower. Instead of holding it up (and getting a tired back and arms) while

you work, you just push it along and watch as it mows down everything in its path. It’s got big all-terrain wheels that can work fairly well even on uneven ground, and it can take out waist-high weeds without flinching. I actually have one of these, and I’ll vouch for the fact that it’ll take out just about everything shy of blackberry brambles. For those, you’ll have to rent a goat . $430 at Northern Tool: Swisher Trim-N-Mow
