Looking for a decent corded trimmer that feeds reliably and will last.
I'm tired of throwing away cheap plastic crap or struggling with balky
feed mechanisms that never work for more than a few minutes at a time.
My first trimmer, a B&D bought some time in the early '80s, worked great
until somebody stole it, but every replacement I've tried has been a
piece of junk. It seems like the corded trimmers these days are treated
as the low end of the product line.

Are there any decent ones or do I need to say screw it and go with gas?


I have no experience with this particular one but I do have confidence in
Stihl's products in general. I've been using my gas-powered Stihl for 15+
years with nothing more than a plug change. Take a look at:

They do have an equivalent that is powered by a lithium battery but since
you seem set on a corded unit...
