Battery powered trimmer recommendations?

Yea it seems people are less likely to complain if they don't hear it..cars, motorcycles, snowmobiles, atv's...anything..! :thumbsup:

I run huge farm machinery, but appreciate quiet equipment whenever possible

Echo CDST-58V2AH 58V Cordless String Trimmer w/ 2Ah Battery and Charger ($229.)


only drawback might be too heavy for some senior citizens ..................

I bought the same one this past Saturday at Sutherlands because my wife can't start the gas one. The gas one is Troy Bilt (great machine), but it's new carb time (one's on the way). The battery powered one got a test run, I am very impressed.

I have the monster 4 stroke TroyBuilt, It kills my wrist and arm after 10 minutes. Do the battery ones vibrate less?

I have the Makita cordless weed eater that takes two batteries. I do not have any vibration when using it. It's very smooth, quite and fast. I never expected it to be as good as it is, or how much I hated fueling up and hoping that gas trimmer would start. As long as the batteries are charged, you know that it's going to work every time you want to use it. No ear plugs!!!!
