Weed Eater is a string trimmer company founded in 1971 in Houston, Texas by George C. Ballas, Sr., the inventor of the device. The idea for the Weed Eater trimmer came to him from the spinning nylon bristles of an automatic car wash. He thought that he could come up with a similar technique to protect the bark on trees that he was trimming around. His company was eventually bought by Emerson Electric and merged with Poulan. Poulan/Weed Eater was later purchased by Electrolux, which spun off the outdoors division as Husqvarna AB in 2006. George Ballas died on June 25, 2011.

- Weed Eater — американская компания по изготовлению триммеров, основанная в 1971 году в Хьюстоне (Техас, США) предпринимателем Джорджем Болласом, изобретателем этого устройства. Идея триммера Weed Eater (рус. «поедатель сорняков») посетила Болласа во время его визита на автомойку, где, наблюдая за работой вращающихся нейлоновых щёток, он понял, что аналогичный принцип можно использовать для кошения травы. Ему пришла в голову мысль, что в процессе покоса травы вокруг деревьев подобным приёмом возможно уберечь кору их стволов от повреждения. (ru)
