weed trimmer quality- echo or homelite?
Original Message May 14, 2005 1:50 pm

I was just wondering if this homelite trimmer I came across is as good ( or better/worse) than the Echo GT2000R I have? keeping only one of them. Homelite dosen't seem to have a model sticker but does say made by 'textron'. both excellent cond. thanks for any opinions on the keeper.

Very good choice Geno. I'd buy a Homelite now if I knew they were they same quality they were 5 or so years ago.

In my previous post I should have said "buy the Echo" as most of us know the Echo is a MUCH better machine! I was just trying to say that even the Homelite most likely will get the job done

You made the right choice with the Echo...I just bought a Echo Blower and did not even stop to give the Homelite a solid look
