The Homelite UT08951 and UT08550 are two robust string trimmers designed to make yard maintenance more efficient and user-friendly. These tools are part of Homelite's commitment to providing reliable and innovative outdoor power equipment that caters to both homeowners and landscaping professionals.

The adjustable cutting width on both models provides versatility, allowing users to choose between a wider or narrower cut depending on the task at hand, whether it’s edging along flower beds or tackling thick grass. The trimmers also feature a variety of cutting accessories, including different spool sizes and line types, to accommodate different needs and preferences.

For added convenience, the UT08951 and UT08550 are designed with easy-start technology.
