Strimmer attachments

Hi all, 

Can anybody advise on a strimmer attachment or accessory (or if such a thing exists), other than cord, that makes cutting up against walls and around young trees easier ? 

Cheers

Henry

    'Allo.......  Stihl & Husqvarna offer guides on some of their domestic strimmer models but I'm not sure they're available on the Contractor range 🤔

    Possible to fashion similar using a terry clip and metal coat hanger (... I'm not joking 😬)

     

     

  •  What's wrong with cord?

    I use the km-RG and it is brilliant if near cars or windows as it does not throw anything about and can go right upto walls and fences and not cause any damage to them.

    • Do you find it slower than using standard strimmer cord................. certainly on the youtube videos it looks much slower + the operator was having to go back and forth to catch vegetation that was pressed against a wall/fence?. As you say..... handy when you're on gravel next to cars or a huge patio window

        It's different - one needs to think and adapt when using new tools .... And it is just that - another tool in the tool box to handle a situation. 

        It appears slower than it is as the heads going around at a fraction of the speed of a strimmer head.

        Will never out perform a fast strimmer in a wide area - but that's not its purpose.

        • I have the Husqvarna version and it does work really well for what its desgined for. Definitely slower than using cord and doesnt mulch up the clippings as much but is safer around trees.
