I have a Homelite trimmer and leaf
blower. Some may argue these are not
"Tim Allen" hardened. However, for home
use these are pretty good. I
had a Paramount trimmer (from Builders'
Square (K-Mart)) and it was
horrible ... went for $10 at a garage
sale.

Hello:

Want to get a very low cost string trimmer of the weed-wacker variety.

The only two that seem to be offered in the $ 70 range are a model by Yard
Machines which I guess is MTD, and
one by Homelite.

I realize these are el-cheapos, but any opinions on which brand
is "better"

Thanks,
B.
