will look for new grass trimmer..any good makes?

10 years ago

Hi everyone, after getting my mower fixed, i will be moving on to a new grass trimmer. The one i have now is not good, even from the start. Hard to start, kills my arms and never ran well.
I don't know of brands that are good. I know stihl makes some good products. I do want a gas one.
any makes/models that you recommend?
are husqvarna trimmers good? seen them at canadian tire..
thanks

Fabchef: I would advise either Echo or Stihl . I also recommend the Toro straight shaft via Home Depot. Great Trimmer for 170.00 bucks.

EWALK...thanks for the reply. I took a look at local HD online and the toro's are electric. They do have ECHO and was interested in the echo srm225, has good reviews...any thoughts? if you had a choice between this echo new (on sale at around $249 bucks or a used stihl..what would you go for? thanks
