I grew up in California near the bay area calling them weed whackers.

Same.
US south. Weed eater or weed whacker, but the second is much less common. It’s also the name of the thing you’re doing. You use the weed eater to go out weed eat the yard
Weed whackers and weed eaters were used fairly interchangeably where I grew up in the US southwest and mountain west.
Weedeater, weed whacker, or trimmer. In that order of descending use.
I almost always use the first one, weedeater.
My dad liked to use Weedeater as a sort of verb. To Weedeap. So he’d love to say he was going outside to weedeap the knee deep weeds.
Same here, but almost never use trimmer. Edit: Pittsburgh here.
Hey! Pittsburgh! The only city I actually enjoyed visiting!
Whipper Snipper here in Aus
Alabama here. Battery and mains powered ones are generally called weed eaters.
The gas powered ones are called a string of curses that would get me banned. Usually while trying to get them to crank. There’s a reason I went electric.
decespugliatore (debusher) or tosaerba (grass shearing)
Canada, various provinces - either weed whacker or whipper-snipper.
Scott calls it a trimmer sometimes, but Scott’s a dick and we hate him.
Edit: Fuck you too, Scott.
