The handheld weed trimmer models are string trimmers are made for you to hold them while you are maintaining the yard. Most trimmers are made to be handheld because it allows you the freedom to walk around the yard trimming the weed fast and efficient.
One of the biggest advantages a hand held weed wacker should have is that it should be comfortable for the person who uses it. That means it mustn’t be too heavy, too loud and it must get the job done quickly and without any troubles.
I want to share with you one of the best and the most popular handheld weed trimmer models on the market at the moment. They are all electrical trimmers because gas trimmers are often too loud and they require a lot of maintenance so ordinary people who don’t have time for a serious landscaping are looking for a faster and simpler solution than gas trimmers. That is why I have decided to make a list of hand weed wacker models for the regular homeowner and I decided to fill the list with electric trimmers.
If you are looking for a trimmer that will get the job done, won’t require too many maintenances and it will be easy to use then you should definitely check out the list below.
Best Hand Held Weed Trimmer Models
BLACK+DECKER LST136W 40V MAX Lithium String Trimmer
The Black+Decker is one of the most popular gardening tool brands and you can expect a great product with their logo on them. This trimmer is a battery-powered handheld weed wacker which uses 40 MAX Lithium battery and that battery lasts a long time. This trimmer comes with a straight shaft so you can easily reach all the tricky places in your yard no matter what. The best part about the trimmer is the fact that you can use it as an edger too. To do that, all you have to do is turn the shaft and push the button. A special Powercommand feature allows you to check the speed of the trimmer and adjust it for the work you want to do which means you can do with a high power or you can do with a long running time.

Another pretty impressive brand is the Dewalt and their hand weed wacker models are also pretty popular. This particular model is a battery powered trimmer which will make sure that your yard looks amazing once you are done with it. It is equipped with a brushless motor for better durability and it is powered by the 20V Lithium-Ion battery. But, there is one downside to this model. It doesn’t always come with the battery and the charger. You have to be careful because you can buy only a bare tool, or you can buy a tool with the battery and the charger. Besides that, the trimmer is great. It is light and easy to use so you cause it even if you are a beginner.

Just like another trimmer/edger models, it is very easy to transform the tool so you don’t have to worry about that.

Greenworks 18-Inch 10 Amp Corded String Trimmer 21142
This handheld weed trimmer is the only corded string trimmer on the list. I like corded string trimmers but I only recommend them for people who have small to medium yards due to the cord. The best experience is with battery trimmers, but when it comes to performance, this trimmer is pretty neat. It comes with a 10 Amp motor so you can be sure that the weed will disappear from your yard. The trimmer is light and it is very simple to use so you don’t have to be an expert to maintain your yard like a pro.

You can change the head and transform the trimmer in other tools with proper attachments.

Who knows maybe in the future there would be even more options to make sure you read the description before you buy the trimmer.
