String Trimmer Ideas
wrote:
I need a string trimmer. That thing for cutting the lawn. Weed-
eater, or whatever you would call it. (A regular mower won't
work - the area is small, with slopes and sunken area, plus
narrow paths between veggie beds.)
A NON-negotiable point is that it must be electric.
A saw a low-priced 18-volt cordless rechargeable at the
supermarket recently. However, there wasn't even any clear
indication of the manufacturer's name (except, "Made In China.")
And that supermarket seems to be an outlet for some rather
dubious, "fell off the truck" items, plus a poor refund policy.
So I am interested in comments about reliable brands/models.
Including the question of corded or -less. I don't absolutely
need a rechargeable, but it would be nice. And, avoiding the
purchase of a heavy power lead would offset the price. OTOH, I
want something reliable. And I have heard of issues with drills,
etc, where a new battery cost more than a new whole unit.
Thanks...
There's usually two or three 13-15 year old string trimmers, lawn
mowers, whatever living within a mile or maybe two.
Probably can get them to do the do the job for you, for the season, for
about the same price as the Chinese junk under various brands.
Use the spare time to fish, chase women, or whatever your imagination
can come up with.
