Yeah. There are benefits though; I can leave cigars sitting out on my desk for months at a time. Went and did some weed eating this morning with the new M18 weed eater they sent me. the handle is broken and loose but it mostly works for now. At first I was rather impressed by the power delivery, they're doing some things right. I was trying to carefully follow the advice of: Then at about the halfway mark on the spool both ends sucked in and I guess did a birds nest on the inside: I thought "no big deal, there is still plenty of line to avoid walking all the way back to my house" which is around a quarter mile round trip from where I was. So I opened it up to re-string. Well apparently they "improved" the design so you can't remove the spools anymore, or at least it's not intuitive while standing in the woods, and it was stuck good. So I walked all the way back and got the Echo and finished the job. This was on the "introductory" line the spools come with. I don't understand why, if the line sucking back in is such an issue, why don't weed eater manufacturers put in a little metal tab so the line can only go one direction? Like a chinese finger trap?
