    Abstract: A spooless trimmer head which utilizes finite lengths of trimmer line inserted through apertures in the trimmer head housing. The lines are thick, strong, long lasting and easily replaced when worn. One end of each line extends from the trimmer head to rotate and cut vegetation. The line includes a collar having a flange formed on an opposite end to retain a distal end of the line in the trimmer head housing. The line is crimped to the collar approximately ? the distance from the collar to the distal end of the line. The crimping location in combination with the position of the flange of the collar reduce the stress and strain on the trimmer line and enhance the longevity of the line.
