    Weedeater

    I need a good weed eater. Something like Echo or Stihl if anyone has one for sale. Might pick one up at HD this weekend if i dont get anything here.

    I'm an Echo fan. Have the baddest-dood weedwhacker they make at my shop. Its a beast and runs like a mofo. Have a little bad-dood 14" chainsaw as well. It gets 'er dun just fine. All small engine tools I buy will be Echo from now on.

    I have both stihl and echo back home, can't go wrong with either. Used to mow ranches for a summer job so both were put through their paces and neither ever broke on me

    Which ever you get I would recommend a straight shaft over a curved one, they tend to last longer
