String Trimmers...What Mfgr is Good?

[Busta Prima]

Stihl makes good ones. I've had one for years.

I beleive my neighbor swears by his Toro and he's a pro landscaper.

I have a craftsman convertable model, it has attachments that you can get for tree trimming, leaf blowing and edging. Love it so far, bought it last summer and no issues.

Stihl is what I have and I like it just fine.

+1 on the Stihl's . When I was in the field they were the only ones that lasted. We have tried Toro, Shindaiwa and RedMax. We were doing good to get 2 summers out of those. The Stihls were still going strong after 5+ years.

I've never used a Stihl...but I won't buy any other chainsaw.

I do have a DR Trimmer/Mower. It's a string trimmer on steroids, for sure. It's on wheels but can go almost anywhere a handheld can. I've had mine for almost 15 years. The damn thing finally wouldn't start last summer. I started tinkering with it and decided the gas smelled funny...a lot like diesel fuel.

After I drained the tank and put new GAS in it, it fired right up and ran like a scalded cat again. It'll cut down saplings up to about 2" thick with the right line, too.

After the diesel incident just on a hunch I checked a few other pieces of equipment. Pressure washer...diesel. Generator...diesel. What a PITA to fix.

I hate it when my wife does stupid shit. (Well...that might actually have been me)
