    I use a .155" string on an aftermarket head and low gear on the Dewalt attachment capable. It barely wears against brick, concrete, or wire fence. Bludgeons the grass out of the way. Messy, but functional and I can get up close to my agricultural buildings and fence without chewing up line.

    I have the single battery M18 myself. I only use for light to medium thick brush/grass but I’ve been absolutely surprised at how well it powers through most anything and being only 18v nominal vs many other brands twice that voltage.

    I bought a ego trimmer, used it 3 times, was $170. I didn't buy the line eq version just basic. I like the power, but there are 2 things I don't like. The 2.5ah battery lasts me about 25 minutes and when you put it on charger right after using the weed trimmer, I have to wait about 15 minutes for the battery to cool down before charger will charge. Otherwise i like the ego.

    I have the ego line iq with power head and I love it except it will get down to 1-2 inches before it adds more line
    I also have sthil fs131 gas and the ego is more powerful.
    Biggest downside to the ego is weight,I added the backpack battery holder so that’s no longer an issue.
    I now have many ego products edger,push mower,blowers and after owning them for 3+ years now I’ve had zero problems with batteries or equipment.

    Whichever weed whacker is compatible w Terre rotary scissors is the best brand or which ever weed whacker brand has its own brand of rotary scissors is also the best brand. Dewalt weed whacker is one of the best brand, but does not have their own brand of its rotary scissors attachment like tht of the Milwaukee brand weed whacker.

      Surprisingly it's an exact copy of the Ryobi. Watched abother video where the guy shows how they r made by same company. They just made the batteries slightly different so you can't enter change them. Seriously the Hart isn't bad from what he said. It's the exact same as the Ryobi from head to motor. Triggers r even the exact same and hart Hart has hi low switch Ryobi doesn't

    Echo batteries are trash and they change battery form factors too often.
    Both of my batteries are defective now and I’m forced to find something else because they don’t sell the batteries anymore.
    58v and only 7 years old.
    Batteries were flakey from the start, but I could always push the button on battery to reset the issue and get it going again, until I couldn’t anymore.

    Avoid Ego. My battery died after a year after purchasing. Replacement died after 2 and now they are saying tough luck that it's outside warranty. My string trimmer went down and it took 3 months to fix. It seems customer service has gotten pretty bad over the last 8 years I have used their stuff.
