On a related note, are the reloadable plastic strings on electric trimmers intentionally designed to unravel within a few uses so you have to keep buying replacements?
Some of them are automatic, in that they use the deceleration from letting off the trigger to let out more string. So if you have one of those ones and are constantly turning it on and off in short spurts, it would eat up string pretty fast. Best to do a swath and only let off when you want more string or are completely done. The automatic ones tend to be more intended for heavy duty use, rather than single yard use.

They usually only dispense when you tap them on the ground.
Just don’t do that
