Ya, you can definitely get something cheaper. I wouldn't spend too much money on something like that. I mean, it's up to you but I think all you need to do is spend less than $100.
Well I have absolutely got to purchase a weed eater and soon. I have been looking at both the weedeater brand and the poulen brand. I am looking to spend less than about $150 any other suggestions?
I spent $160 on a stihl 7 years ago. I change the plug every year, away it goes.
I also took the string head off and put on the plastic blade attachment. Works wonders and I don't have to tap the head when low on line or re-load any line
