Who's in love with their string trimmer?

Got a trimmer you've been really happy with? I'm leaning toward rechargable
because I don't have outside electrical outlets and I don't feel like
installing any. I have probably 300 feet of trimming to do, but it wouldn't
matter if it didn't all get done in one session. Not interested in a gas
trimmer.

Talk to me.

Well, I love my Shindaiwa T270, but it's gas. For cordless electrics I
guess the biggest factor would be sticking with a brand that is likely
to have parts available for it in a month or two, which eliminates a
lot. Perhaps a Ryobi if they have one, since Ryobi is actually fairly
decent for a lot of their stuff.

Not interested in a gasoline unit eh? Well then you might just as well get
a pair of sissors out....

Seriously, i'd look into the stihl fs-110

I had a Homelite string trimmer and hedge clipper set from HD with 2
batteries for less than $100. I would not recommend as one new battery
from a nebulous internet source was $50. I hated to throw out two good
machines.

If you can find one that uses a Li-Ion batteries than that would be good but
NiMh or NiCd would be heavier and hold less charge. OTOH a longer extension
cord will solve the outlet problem.
