Gas handheld string trimmers are the most commonly used style of trimmer. They offer unmatched power and freedom of movement.
They are powerful enough to cut through thicker weeds, but maneuverable enough to use just about anywhere.
Gas handheld string trimmers offer different features for entry-level users and commercial users, so whether you're a homeowner or a professional, there's a model that will fit your needs.
| GAS HANDHELD STRING TRIMMERS | Entry-Level | Mid-Grade | Commercial |
|---|---|---|---|
| Engine CCs: | 21 - 33 CC | 21 - 43 CC | 21 - 46 CC |
| Cutting Width: | 16 - 18" | 15 - 18" | 9 - 17" |

If you want the power of a gas engine and don't mind refilling your trimmer's gas or oil, you'll enjoy using an entry-level gas trimmer.
What makes mid-grade gas trimmers an upgrade from entry-level trimmers?
If you're a weekend warrior who wants to get a professional look without paying the professional price, a mid-grade gas string trimmer might be right for you.
Homeowners may be interested in investing in a commercial gas handheld string trimmer because they'll last longer. If you have a large lot, or you find yourself trimming a few times a week, it may be a worthwhile investment to ensure that your trimmer will stand up to the challenge and never let you down.
