Have an ego trimmer and blower, no issues

As a concrete baw you may want Milwaukee. But Dewalt is for honest white collar baws.

I do not like the dewalt I have.
Broke after about 20 uses. I think it is the wiring where the battery connects. I have to take it apart today and check. Seems to be a problem with these.

I bought an Echo gasoline weed wacker about 10 years ago and it still starts almost immediately.

I call them weed eaters.

I have 2 Echo weed eaters and an Echo blower. 1 of the weed eaters is a 2008.
Won’t own anything else.

Stihl is the only answer

Stihl weedwacker. go commercial grade straight shaft.
For blower. I own a Stihl gas blower, it's 10 years old still one pull crank.
But I recently got my wife a 510 CFM Ryobi batter powered blower to blow off the pool deck/back patio. And that thing is pretty damn sweet. And 70-80% quieter than my Stihl.

I’ve had an EGO blower for 5 years and a weed eater for 2 with no issues.

Echo or Stihl

I bought a Makita blower and trimmer that was on sale as a combo package about 8-9 yrs ago. Both still going strong.

I asked the weed eater question on the Home/Garden page recently. See discussion at Weed Eater Recs

Sthil entry level commercial
I have a fs91r trimmer that’s 10+ years old that hasn’t given me a single issue
I have a br450 blower that’s a beast that’s able to blow dog shite out my yard to the next subdivision

This may not be popular, but I love my Black and decker battery powered. Light, reliable. I always have a back up battery charged. I have had it about 10 years, just won’t quit. I think I spent $100 on it

Depends on your situation. You need to decide whether you want gasoline or battery powered. That depends primarily on the scope and scale of the work you are doing.
Gasoline. - Stihl
Battery. - EGO
I have some of each and they both work remarkably well.

Buy the commercial brand who has a dealer/repair shop near you. Driving 30 miles each way to have your stihl blower repaired negates any quality advantage over an echo with a dealer on your block. I have had two DeWalt 20 V blowers for about 10 years with no problem on either one.
