Which weed eater do you like?

Shindaiwa. All the way. You can go with a cheap one if you don't place any value on your time and frustration. It takes time to plan to work with it, start working with it, have it malfunction, try to fix it, pull out your hair, call the 1-800 number, track down the packaging, figure out it's all in vain, drive back to the place you got it (usually not very close), haggle with the seller, go back home and get your receipt, drive back in, haggle with them some more, and have them offer you a replacement only... then repeat. I'm *so* glad I skipped all that 6 years ago, my Shindaiwa still runs strong as ever. Wish I'd been as smart on all my other tools...
