What is the difference between a strimmer and grass trimmer

chris, March 2009

The actual question was what's the difference between a STRIMMER and a GRASS TRIMMER. NOT a STRING TRIMMER.

There is no difference. A Strimmer is a brand name for a Black and Decker grass trimmer and strictly speaking should never be used to describe a grass trimmer as a Strimmer, unless it is a Black and Decker product
