Best weed trimmer wanted.

I think it is actually Redmax. I have handled redmax trimmers, and I like them. My backpack blower is a redmax and it is good quality, and blows super hard. It usually takes two pulls to start.

I just did get a Echo I think it's the PAS266 with the Speed Feed I bought an extra shaft so's I could just change ends from blade to string. My Neighbor who's legaly blind uses it quit a bit and he's able to start it and change line when he needs to. I vote for the Echo. I've got two acres and have to keep the fence lines clean. I do use a fair amount of Glysophate (Roundup) as well. bjr

Purely for string trimming, Echo 225 or Redmax's similar model.

That's what the pros who've run these things for hours per day swear by.

I have had really good luck with the Stihl weedeaters. It's one of the pro models, not a big box store one.

I have run Stihls and Shindawa. Stihl IMHO is the leader in my book. Their replaceable rotating arm system set the standard. A consideration not to be overlooked is what is your local dealer selling? Are there landscape contractors and Mow and Blow people in your area? Look at what they run. Most often you will see Honda Mowers and Stihl trimmers in the same rig. Presently I am running a five year old Shindawa but the next one will be a Stihl.
