Weed eaters can KMA

Weed eaters are the bane of my existence.
I know OT poor and all that crap, but some ppl like me USED to like working in their yard for down time and peace of mind.. but weed eaters can eat a bag of Dicks. I now know why my father tore his rotator cuff chunking his across the highway into the neighbors garbage. Sorry for the rant just wondering if anybody else wants to join in our office space type beating just to take out frustration?

Buy a nice Stihl weed eater and use the ethanol free gas in a can.

My battery powered Milwaukee is fine.

I'm gas power sober for two years now. My 80 volt life is good and stress free.

Have a Stihl
Just feel like every 3 mins the string gets caught

For sure get the premixed ethanol free gas in the can. Much less headaches.

I've chunked a few. And I've gone out and bought a new one when my old one wouldn't start. I go EGO now. Works like a charm and you can cut weeds at six in the morning and not disturb the neighbors.

Love my Stihl. I usually use a metal blade on mine in place of string. It's very effective.

Echo Speed Feed 450. There are videos online about how to use an Echo head on a Stihl trimmer.
The Speed Feed 450 is much better than the Speed Feed 400, especially if you have a higher CC string trimmer. The 400 also has a tendency to really scalp the grass whereas the 450 does not.

Either:
1). Use ethanol free gas.
Or
2). Replace the carburetor every now and then.
I have an old Stihl curved shaft and I just order a cheap-O knock-off carb off Amazon every 3 years or so and switch it out. $20 and 10 minutes or so.
Easy Peezy.
I also use the thinnest diameter string available: it feeds better and cuts better IMO.
