Anyone have any experience with this?

I see a great potential for shrapnel injuries with those.

Sears is a showroom for crappy merchandise that's never in stock.

In any case, I've found that it takes two trimmers:

- 25cc with string, for maintenance
- 40cc with blade, for clearing

The latter will cut canegrass and waiwi saplings, no problem.

Agreed on the Sears assessment.

What's nice about the Ryobi is:
1.
It is 4 cycle, no mixing gas and oil and should be more durable than a 2 cycle.
2.
The string trimmer, steel bladed brush cutter, and tiller are all attachments for 1 power head. You do not have to buy and maintain 2 or more power tools and their engines.

This time, I can no longer participate in the primary.
