Wheeled String Trimmers

Bird, you have a better memory than I do! I just changed the oil in my trimmer a few weeks ago and I already forgot about the 3/8" fitting for a socket extension. That was the first time I had come across that one before.

I have to toss in http://planopower.com/whipper-clipper/index.html

I'm on my second one. The first only lasted eight years. But when I got it a commercial landscape maintenance company had wore it out.

The wheeled string trimmers are probably the wave of the future. They're lighter and cheaper and for a commercial maintenance company it's another product running on mixed gas. They lose more equipment when their rookies put raw gas into two strokes /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif

But they can't do as good a job as an old fashioned edger. I wouldn't trade my Whipper Clipper for three of the wheeled string trimmers even if they were Stihls.

I've been to the Whipper Clipper factory in Bonham, Texas many times. It is an amazing place. They make everything for that machine there except for the belts, wheels, and motors.

I also have the patent on their bag holder. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif
