I was at Home Depot not too long ago and saw that they now have propane powered weed whackers. I didn't notice what brand they were. No more messing with gasoline. Just screw on a canister of propane and away you go.

I paid good money for those rocks.  There are 2 rock gardens and decorative rock thru out.

Shahar, it's gas powered, fyi.

So- I guess this unit is now trash.

Yo.  My weed wacker is finished.   What do you like?

The way my yard is- I have a manual push mower- but lots of trees and rocks. So- the wacker is what I use.

I got 3 years use out of a $30 gadget from Sears. I see that the octoganal string is better- worth the cost.

Anyhow- I am good for this week- but might replace the sucker.

Any ideas?



Yes.

I'm particularly fond of the type that's connected to a guy who runs around whacking weeds in my yard.

We pay about $30 a week for lawn service and they do a beautiful job... trimming hedges, edging the lawn, taking care of trimmings and leaves.  We don't have to fuss with equipment ever.

And I've no idea what their nationality is.
