Need a new trimmer!

yes, a ryobi does sound like the best bet for me. unless i can find a used stihl or something. i have a friend that i am trying to get a lower price on! and carscw, what model is your ryobi?
 
they are all curved shafts though! well a couple arnt. i might have my uncle go check out the one in warwick because he lives there and i live in charlestown. (warwick is like a 45min drive for me)
 
My first string trimmer was a Ryobi SS30, and even though I was mowing for clients I must say it performed well. I didnt have alot of money to startup thats why I bought it, but along the way I saved and got 2 Stihl Trimmers. FS55R and the FS80R. Both have been bulletproof and only thing I ever changed on them is the bump heads.
I don't have anything bad to say about the Ryobi, but we must recognize that they are in 2 different categories. Homelie/Ryobi/Featherlite/Weedeaters are designed for homeowner use and the Echo and Stihl for Commercial.
Take care of whatever you buy, keep it clean mix the fuel properly and you they will last you a long time.

You won't be disapointed... some says its underpowered I have never had that problem if its underpowered for a project you probably need a speciality product anyway
