Does it have a bent tube and flex shaft or a gear box? The flex shaft ones are
rated for homeowner use only.


Bent, with flex shaft. I just tossed one last April.



Its a bent flex shaft. Shrug...I have no need of an industrial string
trimmer, there is so little vegitation here that Ive managed for years
with a B&D electric trimmer, but the cord is a pain in the ass to deal
with over long distances and getting hung in the cactus.

Ive another gas trimmer, a Mitsubishi...chuckle but finding a new gas
tank for it..is impossible.
