Try Calling a Hardware box store and asking if they have Sling for Weeds

[clemsonfor]

Ya beat me to it Dave. Reminds me of the time I went to Lowe's looking for some Rid for my septic tank. I asked the young lady in that part of the store where I could find the Rid. She walked slowly over to that area, looked up at me and asked "Is the name of it Rid or is the color of it Rid?" I said "No, the name of it is Rid...R-I-D.". Then I asked her, "Where you from, Alabama?". She grinned and said "Yeah". We both had a good laugh.

Its "RID X" If you asked me for RID is would of said what is that? IF you said for the septic tank i would have then said you mean "Rid X" oh yea its over here with the septic treatments and drain cleaners.

Dibber or Dibbler? :laughing::laughing::laughing:

I needed a log roller. I went to a REAL hardware store and they did not have a log roller in stock but they could order me a Cant Hook. We called them log rollers but the store and company called it a Can't Hook.

We always called the weed whip a weed whacker but now a weed whacker is the noisy motorized gadget.

Later,

Im a forester and i have never heard it called a "log roller" unless it was someone making up a name for something that they have no idea what it was. I have called it a cant hook and that is the correct name for it. I think "log roller" is some local name cause someone had no idea what it was and just made that up.

Everywhere you look there called cant hooks, they have used them for hundreds of years and they have always been cant hooks.. at least as far as i know.

I can remember them being called sling which was closed on both end and a cycle was open on one end.. I like the sling over the cycle,, mainly because the sling was 30 minute of cutting grass and the cycle was all day in the hay field..:laughing: Lou

Always called it a sickle or a scythe.
