I am in the market for a new weed trimmer. I want to spend about $200 and I am looking for something that works well and won't make my arm numb after just a few minutes of use.

Thanks for any suggestions.

Spend a few hundred and get a Stihl kombi tool. You get a head, blower, trimmer and edger. Well worth the money

if it's orange, it's probably good lol.

However, Stihl / husqvarna / echo / shindowa are all good.

But i got a damn 80 dollar Troy bilt and that damn thing has been FIRE for me for 2 seasons so far, going into 3rd season.

Go get an Echo from Home Depot. Had a Ryobi that used to drive me crazy. This trimmer has easily added another 2 years onto my life.

I picked up a Troy Bilt for $90 at Lowes recently. It's a million times better than my old one, which was a Weedeater brand.

I have a craftsman, it done fine for me for 5 years. I used BIL's echo, that thing is bad arse. Lighter than mine, and less vibration at the handle, next one will be Echo.
