Pros

Depenable- light great

Only words of praise

Cons

Nothing bad to say zero

Best Uses

All a round my big yard

Comment:

I done a lot of heavy duty weed wacking, to trimming<br />flower beds, to edging my sidewalks and driveway with<br />never a hick-up on one spool of line..<br />I already bought a second one for when this little beauty eventually wears out..I prefer using it as there is only one line, no bump, no gas oil mix and<br />she's always dependable... I'm in love !

How long have you owned it:

One-to-three months

Bottom Line

Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.
