trimmers
Original Message   Mar 14, 2006 4:08 pm
well, that winter sucked.  i don't even have 2 hours run time on my new 926DLE.  what a waste.

so it's time to look at lawn equipment again.  I was looking at electric trimmers, but then remembered that i hate cords.  thought about rechargeable, but i'd never remember to charge it before i needed it.  I've got a gas mower and a gas blower, why not a gas trimmer.  Then i remembered that i hate premixing.  Does anyone have a nice lightweight, cheap, reliable trimmer that is either 4 stroke or oil injected that they would recommend?

if it's gotta be premixed, any advice/suggestions?

I would also seriously take a look at the Black and Decker Grasshog trimmers. I was in Cdn Tire today, and I found the B&D 13 inch corded electric seems to be better built than the 12 inch Weedeater. It costs more but also has a stronger upper handle, higher amp motor and converts to an edger.  They also have the same model B&D for $10 less and it comes with a 6V electric screwdriver.

Wonder if the screwdriver is included because its screws come loose a lot...  Just a bonus toy I imagine.
