Robert subscribed then hit the bell. Be more like Robert. In all seriousness I was impressed by how quickly he came up with a well thought out, nuanced hypothesis without even a moment’s notice. Huge thanks to Robert. Also, a huge thanks to everyone who supports Smarter Every Day on Patreon at https://www.patreon.com/smartereveryday Thank you! Destin

@Yan May strimmer comes from combining the words string an trimmer together. So you're partly right.

Weed eater weed wackier potato pototo

I often use Echo crossfire trimmer line but I should try out Echo black diamond

I would go for the triangle string. Redusing the noise is more important than how the cut is.

After seeing the 'slo mo' I must say the Aussie slang is bang on the money. We call it the: WHIPPER SNIPPER 🇦🇺

It’s whipper snipper or weed whacker. Nothing else. Thank you.

"Australia calls it strimmer" Nah, the chart was correct, we call it nothing but a "whippa snippa" (sic)

I call it a wipper snipper

Shoutout to Robert the weed eater dude.

The saw blade adapted too it last way longer than. String. Because string always breaks. .

Its trimer in winland

The problem is you dont have accurate shape of cutting edge after a few seconds. so yeah, only weight matters

What about the attachments? Which of those is better?

Are these strings biodegradable or made from plastic? In which case we make microplastics.

A wiper snipper

A whipper snipper

The grey line with the spiral groove is, I believe, Husquevarna that I used a lot, beecause it lasts longer, especially on rocks, curbs, fencing. But - it doesn't cut sharply, so dont expect less than ragged tops. Now using some star shaped thinner line (.85) given to me, and it cuts really well for grass, but not so good in the bushes & heavy weeds.

Project Farm just came

The star has more cutting edges making it more likely to hit the grass on the cut than on the dull.

I like robert. He's chill

I call it a weed eater but I just realized I have memories of it being called a weed whacker when I lived in PA for a few years, lol.

10:04 spot the tiny TINY bug on the second grass!

The Stihl company studied this years ago when they were considering making shaped line (other than round cross-section) and they found that after a few minutes of normal trimming use , all of the various shapes actually wore down to a tapering point and were cutting the same way. Stihl engineers couldn't find any measurable improvement from any shaped line over the standard round line. The only thing they've done is add the spiral groove to cut down on line noise.

really cool. I wish you 1. asked robert why he used what he did; and 2. tested the top contenders in real grass and bush conditions outside and viewed the results (clean, speed, durability/$).

Its called a strimmer

..and that's why it's $18 a roll

i live in Florida and call it either a weed whacker or a trimmer

Omg! I get the same kick outta hearing and watching people do the same thing and subscribe. Lol. I Love helping and seeing Humanity learn new things! Its awesome. Subscribed as well 😆

Whipper snipper

I love robert

As cool as this video is, I value durability over cut quality in my weed whacker/eater.

My fav. So far has been the Rotary Vortex line. Echo black diamond seems like a copy...havent used it myself

I say weed whacker. It’s better because alliteration rolls off the tongue.

I´ve lived in Indiana and around the Chicago area my whole life and have only ever heard people call it a weed wacker so when I saw the google stats I just had to go ask all my friends what they call it to make sure I wasn´t crazy

So far four of them have responded and they have all said weed wacker so we're good

I grew up saying weed eater

I call it "weed eater" but if you listen to it, it goes like this against the grass: WACK WAK WAC WACK WAK....

Weed Eater Man needs his own channel...

puzzle by different products at the mall? Ask Project farm "PF"

Im in kansas and everyone i know calls it weed whacker Soo.. idk

1:15 "Thats how I do it, Thats how Dad did it, and Thats How America does it. And its worked out so far.

I really don’t think the shape is making much of a difference. The fact is you wouldn’t really be able to tell which shape was used by glancing at a freshly cut lawn so why even care about it? The only real concern you should have is for durability.

...In german we call that thing "Motorsense" or "motor sythe" if you translate it literally.

Grass cutter

Table trippy snipped

You also used virgin line not used line. The line may sharpen with use

Very intereSTRING

I don't think it was a good choice to weigh down the grass with the clamp. The weed eater wire is not designed to cut taught grass.

Weed Wakah! 😅

Robert is an absolute legend! I just found this video now, have no clue how am I missed it. Probably I didn't hit the bell icon like Robert did. I did not know until now, but this video is just what I needed now.

Can we have weed smoker machine in the future xD

I say weed wacker, haha. Do you guys know what Gooseynight is ?

Fun fact: In Malaysia, people call it a grass cutter

75% explaining what's happening 5% science 20% im a adult who knows big words

I worked as a grounds keeper at a university in the mountain west, and we called them "Weed Whips"

IMO this is too philosophical for my taste. You find out by actually going out into the yard and weed eating, then assessing the results. Trying to extrapolate on the value of each line this way is just... wildly unhelpful. Why speculate based on experiments that are detached from the real world when you can go empirically find out? Why not follow up by taking the weedeater outside and going to town on some grass, shrubs, etc to see what serves your purposes the best in actual practice? Why not check to see how the grass regrows after? It may be that clobbering the grass blades instead of clean cutting them isn't a big deal.

Here in Texas my Mexican family, and many others that we know, call it a "wirira" or "wira" which comes from trying to pronounce Weed Eater.

I call it weed yeeter

In Germany we call it MOTORSENSE

Will a cleaner cut change how quickly the grass will grow back next time?

podadora

A "weed eater" is as much of a weed eater as the Cookie Monster is a cookie eater... They only chew them up and spill everything out

As someone not from the US, how come I've always known about it as a weed wacker? My family's from Texas, and they say weed wacker, and I swear that I've always heard "weed wacker" when used in a movie or show... I had never ever heard the term "weed eater" until Destin's previous video about them. Weird...

In Sydney, Australia we say whipper snipper....🐨🦘....

Weed wanker??

Didnt realize people didnt know it as a weed whacker

The grateful gratis thunderstorm pharmacologically zoom because coach meteorologically improve midst a tight sail. pricey, changeable song

I'd pay Robert double time to maintain my outside anyday!

im asuming the "puling" into the center of the sharp sharp squer hapens ones due to on gap on conteac but the stat has atles 2 but prolple more

I glue goat teeth to the end of my line. _Evolution baby!_

Whippa snippa

strimmer and yes i am UK haha

Star is like using a high tooth blade it makes smaller slices of the grass each high point breaks off /cuts the grass at that point but it would also be rotating ever so slightly back and forth which would act like an ultrasonic saw essentially.

its a weed whacker it whacks weeds

You do know that Weed Eater is a registered trademark / brand. This is like people in the south calling everything "Coke" when they want a Pepsi or other soda/pop/tonic type drink. :)

How much plastic ends up in a square meter of your garden?

Did you allow for different materials used in making the lines? And did you contact manufacturers for their test results and reasons for using different profiles? They've probably done a lot more testing than you ever could. And if you're cutting brush, you probably don't want to use line at all. Use the steel fittings that really handle the heavy stuff.

From a golf course super which I am not. The cleaner the cut the faster the grass heals which makes it grow faster. That's why mower blades are not razor sharp. I like to mow less so ripping the grass works for me.

What do the lawn care experts say about trimmer string?

Whipper snipper

*W e e d E a t e r* Part 2: Electric Boogal-

Ok so it looks like everyone agrees weed "whipper snipper" and strimmer are not at all names.

how about using a lawn mower? lol blades > string

How many times do I have to watch this to get Robert a case of beer I'm about 50 times in since the release. Ps if you want more consistent data I would think paper would be a good sub for grass.

Doesn't it depend on the type of grass too?

Mate, Destin. Nobody says strimmer here. Always whipper snipper. Always!

Weed wacker

It doesn’t eat the weeds it just whacks them really hard

whipper snipper ftw

its a weed wacker

You should've heated up the sharp-sharp square to straighten it up. It's curved because you used a short strand of it instead of off the roll. I'd like to see a dB reading of each strand next time.

So relieving knowing someone else overthinks these decisions that should be easy. Only thing is I just waste 20 minutes trying to learn about hem them, never really being sure if I got the right one!!!

LOL you say 'most people call it a weed eater' then justify it with a state by state map of the USA.... then put out a country map with only the countries that call it that shown plus UK and Australia as token outliers. Do a county by county map of the UK and the results would be totally different. Most people who live in America and south Asia may call it that, but most people who live on Earth probably have never heard of the term. Try asking for a 'weed eater' in Russia, China, anywhere in Africa or Europe, or the other countries you have conveniently ignored.... It also seems like the non North American countries that have heard of the term happen to be the ones in the are most electronic waste is sent to, so they more than likely picked up the phrase that way.

i love the data you gather

"We're gonna test that." 😉

I call it a weed whacker

What I’ve considered was the wind resistance slows down the Weedwhacker so we need string that cuts through the wind better, and stronger

I’ve been in landscaping my whole life here in the state of Florida and everybody says Weedwhacker

save the grass for filament

I think the line needs to have hairs

world's biggest weed eater..... i think you just need a 3d printer spool

Lol you Americans call things such stupid names like wtf

Whipper snipper g

Whippet snipper

We need more Robert! He seems very nice and caring, don’t know why

I think we need more Robert. I wanna see him in more videos

I would love to see how it cuts without taking multiple swipes at the grass blade

here in western mass its a wacker
