I bought an echo weed eater a few years ago. I bought a head that you precut lines and then push them through the hole rather than winding the bitch. It appealed to me because if something fails it’s that goddamned head won’t let string out.

Now. This is not better. It’s a comparative pain in the ass. BUT. I learned something. I took off the guard with the cutter on it because we aren’t cutting this shit any shorter. **** you. Then I started making these things super long. Well that takes a ton of power and the head can’t spin very fast. That works really good with my yard grass because slow RPM could cut it but would just bend around whatever I hit rather than getting enough force to break it.

So the end result is easy on the throttle and save the string. I can do my whole yard including next to the neighbors chain link on one precut set of string if I slow down and take my time. Which ends up being quicker than stopping and putting another string in. My wife blows through like 3 sets.

All that said, the echo x shaped orange string is good. Spendy but good.
