It's a little heavier than I anticipated, but feels very balanced. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've heard that name before, but wasn't familiar with him. I did some research....WOW, what a talent he had. I liked the "you're going to play a Fender at a Gibson event" video.

Ceptorman Posted October 14, 2017 Share Posted October 14, 2017 I bought a new Stihl trimmer earlier this year. After the cheap factory line was used up, I went with some heavy duty .095" stuff, lasts much longer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike stehr Posted October 14, 2017 Share Posted October 14, 2017 You can hammer on a Shindaiwa rather hard and they seem to hold up well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CECAA850 Posted October 14, 2017 Share Posted October 14, 2017 I have a Stihl back pack blower and really like it. I wanted one of their string trimmers but the Echo had far better reviews across the board. Seems a lot of people have a hard time starting some of the Stihls and the repair shops want to blame the fuel. The ones that start and run properly get great reviews however. Everywhere I went and read reviews kept giving the Echo good scores. Figured I'd try one and see. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everywhere I went and read reviews kept giving the Echo good scores. Figured I'd try one and see. Always being a Stihl fan but wanting to try a battery string trimmer I went with Echo. 58V battery is a brute, straight shaft, owned it about a year or so and actually like it a lot. Now of course this is for a typical suburban lot and there is more than enough power for my needs. Now when I visited a friend on 15 acres and it needed a major trimming I took my gas Stihl. It always comes down to the right tool for the job. And before I bought the Echo I looked at Stihl battery when at that time the trimmer was about $200 But the battery/charger was around $300. Even the dealer shook his head and chuckled at that price which is why he didn't even stock them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my SM-G920R4 using Tapatalk The trimmer thst it's replacing was a Ryobi. It was one of the first 4 stroke gas trimmers I had ever seen. The motor has gobs of torque and actually still runs strong. The trimmer head is shot and it has a couple fuel leaks. It's so old I really didn't want to invest any time or money in it any more.

Ceptorman Posted October 14, 2017 Share Posted October 14, 2017 Sometimes it's nice just to buy a new tool. I don't know how to spell out the Tim the Toolman grunt 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schu Posted October 14, 2017 Share Posted October 14, 2017 I need a compact battery powered blower to dry the car after I wash it... it needs to be capable of at least 100mph wind, suggestions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Milwaukee - O884-20/ M18 hand held blower. Perfect for what you need. My stepson uses one in his shop, lots of velocity through a small diameter nozzle. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wvu80 Posted October 15, 2017 Share Posted October 15, 2017 This isn't What I Got Today, it's What I Did Today. WVU Homecoming 2017. WVU came from behind to defeat Texas Tech 49-35. GREAT game! This is me with the 400 piece WVU Alumni band and the 350 piece big band. I am wearing yellow and standing exactly on the 5 of the 50 on the near sideline. I am dead center in the cymbal picture with the big grin on my face. See if you can figure out why. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
