Besides lawn mowers, weed eaters, or weed-wackers are one of the most common machines to find in someone's garage. If you do any yard work, you've probably used or owned one of these. If you are just looking into buying one for yourself, here are some helpful tips. With a few clear specifics, you can narrow down your options considerably.
A good place to start would be to ask yourself, 'How often will I use it?' Most likely if you're only purchasing one of these machines for weekly or monthly yard-trimming, you won't need to invest in an expensive industrial weed-eater. In fact, an electric weed-eater would suffice, and in some cases are just as powerful as its gas rival. But, on the other hand, you will get what you pay for, so if it seems too good to be true, it most likely is...
However, if you're planning to use it regularly such as for a job, it would be wiser to buy a more durable and powerful option. Electric weed-eaters generally don't have as much power as their gas counterparts, and are usually out of the question- that is until Tesla starts manufacturing their own. Two-stroke gas trimmers and even four stroke will get the job done.
Once you've decided on the type of weed-eater that suits you, it's time to choose based on your preferences and budget. The main customization on these is the diameter of your cutting head, which in theory is determined by the length of your debris block. 16 inches is the typical range, which will work fine for almost any job.
When choosing a weed-eater, don't be afraid to ask others who have purchased the same machine what they think of its performance, or if ordering online, read reviews. Most known brands are tried and true, Stihl being the highest lead brand for weed-eaters as of now, and has several varieties to choose from.
