trimmer

A beard trimmer leaps into jugulars, a VCR shoots tapes like a cannon, and the carnage of consumer goods is nasty, gory and cruel, with a darkly comic mean streak that recalls Joe Dante’s “Gremlins.”

Men with enormous beards that have never known the touch of a trimmer.

Then use a hand pruner for small jobs or a string trimmer or hedge clipper for larger plantings.

For example, at Share Bristol - A Library of Things, instead of borrowing books you can borrow sanders, hedge trimmers and popcorn makers amongst other items you're unlikely to use everyday.

I had seen him earlier walking around the backyard wielding a weed wacker, which turned out to need a new spool of trimmer string.
