Hello all -
I'd like to get an electric/corded weed trimmer.
Doesn't have to be battery-powered, my extension will reach everywhere I need to go with it.
Any suggestions on good products?
There's a large Sears nearby, if that makes any difference.
Thanks,
- John

I have a Weed Eater EL15-TNE. Works ok for many years except that it's supposed to feed new cord when you shut it off and on. Often doesn't. I prefered a previous one that fed cord if you banged the spool on the ground.
If it is Craftsman I would not consider it as I have had 2 that are terrible designs- in particular the 172.745450.
You can get some that work pretty well at any place that sells home supplies. You can get some in the $30 - $40 (US) range that work pretty good with autofeed and everything. However, I have kind of gone off of those because they just don't hold up very well. I finally went ahead and got a battery operated one. I have a Toro 24V LIon one that seems to be working quite well. It did cost more but I can do the whole yard in less than a half an hour. Of course I don't have a giant yard, so that may not be too impressive.
I have particularly gone off of Black and Decker equipment of all kinds. They are generally less expensive than others and at first do the job just fine, but I keep coming up with minor aggravations while using them. This is right across all of the different lines that they make, not just one particular type of equipment.
