Trimmers - discussion/pics

This is something I never knew

 

It works well. I've revitalized old line a few times this way.

 

Omg....

 

I'm running a Shindaiwa 22T home pro that I inherited when my dad died more than 25 years ago . I remember the time I asked my dad why he bought a no name trimer , he told me "This is good stuff" . Dad was right, it is good stuff.

 

I haven’t run many, but what I’ve learned is that Echo/Shin is at the top of the heap for blowers and trimmers

 

I concur. Especially the older grey trimmers.

 

At the stihlership today.

 

i always put garlic powder in the water

 

Took me a minute to see it first thing I saw was made in the USA but then I saw the water spout and bucket

 

Yep, it’s on there. They could put some words to the picture but most people wouldn’t read it anyways.

 

You are definitely right the most people look at is to make sure it the size line they want

 

That Ryobi BC30 I bought for $20 last year has become a real pain to start lately (wasn't too bad after I first got it and "dehillbillied" the tuning on it a lil)
I had forgot that I bought a Chinese carb for it in a "tuneup" kit last year, never installed the carb though...it was pushing my last button last Saturday so I went looking for that kit, threw the new carb on and it fired right up! Seemed a little finicky to tune at first, but the dang thing starts and runs amazing now! Why did I not put the carb on right away?!
(Bought the kit because it came with lots of parts in it, and only about $10 more than buying the air filter alone, which was what I was really after at the time)
