These are what I call "bordeadoras" or "recortadoras".
The first one may be "bordeadora de cercos", but what about "string trimmer"?
Any suggestion?

See the first reference below for many different models of string trimmer with different names.
In English, a string trimmer is often called a "weed eater" after the name of a popular brand.

Sol
: Sí, esta terminología se refiere a que usa una cuerda o cable que da vueltas para cortar, no para qué se va a usar. Se necesita más información para determinarlo. Hay podadoras de orillas que usan tijeras o cuchillas, de plástico o de metal.

: con Sol. La podadora de cuerda podría servir para cortar arbustos y no sabemos si la podadora de arbustos funciona con cuerda.
