Default Whipper Snippers

I own a Jims Mowing franchise and I use a whipper snipper about 15 times a a
day. I have just bought a second one and that is a Honda 4 stroke straight
shaft with a heavy duty bump feed (yes there are grades). I also have a
Shindawa.

Both of mine are over 30cc and have given me few problems.

Hi Everyone. I'm in the market for a Whipper Snipper. I have Ryobi on loan
at the moment. It starts well enough, but it goes through nylon cord like
there is no tomorrow and the "bump and feed" line system is absolutely
hopeless. I also borrowed a Tanaka that didn't have "bump and feed" and I
did my entire block with only 1 peice of cord, but it was a pain to start.

Can anyone with some experience in this area recommend a Snipper? Doesn't
need to be too flash. Something that starts easily and isn't a pain in the
line cord area. I am not interested in an electric model so petrol models
only please.

Many Thanks.

P.S. Edgers like the Atom are no good to me because I have rock edges
