At least all the modern ones are. It would surprise me if there was no clutch though. How old is your weed whacker? one of the clutch springs might have popped.

Do not look back, and grieve over the past, for it is gone;
Do not be troubled about the future, for it has not yet come;
Live life in the present, and make it so beautiful that it will be worth remembering.

Yes! and the potassium perchlorate could be used to make ammonium perchlorate, for composite propellant.

unfortunately, the backup is not complete, as several pages weren't archived.

here is a similar site.


EDIT: here is a complete version of the site I first mentioned. It has, of course, been mirrored to my HDD...

Some weed wackers have a clutch. The better ones that can fit a brush cutter do have one. Cheap ones with only a line trimmer sometimes do not have a clutch.
