Default Why not put an electrical copper wire into the weed whacker?

Yeah. Even these attachments are $150 dollars or so (just for the
attachment).

I do need a good looooooong hedge trimmer as my 20 inch hedge trimmer is
too short for the tops of a line of very tall bushes that I can't reach
except on a ladder and even then I have to lean halfway over the ledge,
which is dangerous so I don't do it. A longer hedge trimmer (about 40
inches would be nice) is what I really need - but money is always an
object.

Likewise for the edger attachment. I have a few hundred yards of edging
that has been neglected. Sure I have a MANUAL edger, but, I'm getting too
old for that wheel and spring thingey.

If I KNEW the edger and/or hedge trimmer attachments were useful, I'd
likely get them over time though.

Edger ................. 358.79240
Cultivator ............ 358.79241
Blower ................ 358.79242
Brushcutter ........... 358.79244
Pruner ................ 358.79245


Not sure they're the same units, but I have the Troy-Bilt 4-cycle
trimmer with a leaf blower and edger attachments. They work really
well. The only issue I have with the system is that the nozzle on the
blower is constantly blowing off. I could glue it on but then to get
it off...

I doubt it would have enough power for the cultivator, though (so I
didn't get one).
