I have one, it works well and holds a charge that gets me through the complete trimming job of my yard, I have a large corner lot with lots of edging to be done. I love the unit I have. I think it is a Weed Eater brand, I bought it for around $80.00 about four years ago. Happy trimming!
_____ From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Edward Przybylek Sent: Sunday, May 10, 2009 6:43 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [BlindHandyMan] Lawn Trimmer Hi all, Our old gas powered lawn trimmer decided today that it wanted to meet it's maker so it died. My wife wants a battery powered trimmer this time so she doesn't need me to start it for her when she wants to do the lawn. When we purchased our last lawn mower, she insisted on an electric start mower for the same reason. I'm beginning to feel a little obsolete. The last battery powered unit we owned was a real piece of junk. It was underpowered and needed to be recharged every twenty minutes or so. It had a ni-cad battery that lasted two or three seasons before it would no longer hold a charge. Does anyone have a battery operated unit they can recommend? I'm told that many of the units now run on lithium ion batteries that are much improved over the old units. I looked at a couple of units but they struck me as very poorly built and not worth the asking price. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. Take care, Ed Przybylek [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
