CR's Take
This curved-shaft Stihl is relatively light (10.3 pounds) and easy to handle, yet was superb at regular trimming and edging along with tall grass. Controls also proved easy to use. And like most trimmers, this one has two trimming lines.
Highs
•Trimmed cleanly in a single pass.
•Edged quickly leaving a smooth, clean edge.
•Cut down tall grass and weeds aggressively.
•Easy to handle and control.
•Includes features that makes trimming more convenient.
•Has a clutch which stops the cutting head from spinning while the engine is idling.
•Has two cutting strings for faster, more aggressive cutting.
LowsNo significant lows.

You ever so much as insinuate that I have any Mexican in me again and I will murder your face.

Really?According to them, its about $150. I've found that their aprox prices are usually kinda high. The next cheapest is the Craftsman 79102. It's $100 and #9 on their list.
