Tired of bumping my string trimmer
I have a Homelite string trimmer I bought at Home Depot. It uses
0.080 line fed from a bump-feed head. In 20 minutes of trimming (mostly walking around), I have to feed line out at least 10 times, usually requiring several bumps each time. When trimming against an obstacle such my foundation or even a wood fence, the line lasts about 20 seconds or less before it's mostly gone. I've seen "fixed line heads" for sale that use pre-cut lengths of heavy line. Before I waste $10 - $15 on one of these, are they any better? They seem wastefull, since once the line is about halfway gone (or as short as you can stand it, I guess), you discard the rest of it. Thanks for any tips! |
