Abstract
Apparatus for cutting, trimming, and edging vegetation, and the like, is provided with a rotatable disc-like head having a plurality of string-like members removably attached thereto and extending from its periphery. When the head is rotated, the strings will extend therefrom so as to cut adjacent vegetation in a flail-like manner. Snubber means are provided to arcuately deform the string in order to secure the string within the head.
