Explore the different types of trimmer heads and learn which one suits your trimming needs.
Compare bump‑feed, manual-feed, fixed‑line and polymer blade heads.
Bump Feed Trimmer Heads
There are two types of Bump Feed trimmer heads:
Semi-Automatic - These are also known as Tap n’ Go heads. These trimmer heads are fed automatically when the head is pushed into the ground which put you in total control.
Fully-Automatic - These heads have line that is automatically fed when it has become too short for productive use. The line is self adjusting to ensure that the best performance is achieved.
Manual Feed Trimmer Heads
These heads are fed manually by pushing or turning the line feed button/spool and pulling the cord. This allows you to select the length of line to achieve the desired effect.
Trimmer Heads - Fixed Line
These are trimmer heads that are easy to use and have a quick and easy line feeding, requiring minimal maintenance. The line is normally loaded without opening the head.
Often used with a more aggressive toothed line.
Trimmer Heads - Polymer Blade
These are trimmer heads with a very distinct design, they use plastic knives instead of trimmer line. They are ideal for use in coarser grass or stony ground.
You can also get highly visible, replaceable plastic flails for safe use around trees and bushes.
