    Default Hand held electric trimmer

    Don't know about you but I hate trimming. Especially if you do it a lot, like in a small perpetual grow-op. I trim about 40 plants every 2 to 3 weeks and my g/f and I have spent 6-8 hours at a time trimming. So I came up with a hand held electric trimmerthat does almost if not just as good as hand trimmers.

    Went to Harbor Freight and got an electric rotary tool. Its like a dremel tool but this one only cost 9 bucks with a 50% off coupon. I took the barrel sanding attachment and removed the compression washer and the round barrel sander. Then I place a small piece weed eater line on top of the compression grommet and replaced and tightened the compression washer.

    This has now cut my trimming time down by 75%...My g/f takes the larger fan leaves off and tosses me the bud and I start trimming. But you do need to wear some sort of eye protection though, I didn't at first then a small fragment of plant matter went in my eye and it burns like a mofo

    It takes a cpl min to get used to and then you can trim like a sculptor
