I un-fondly muse of yanking four score and seven million times on the starter cord of a gas string trimmer that sat idle for the winter. A breathless carb gummed by gooey regret led to a breathless me with phooey regret. 2 strokers are great if used frequently, maintained during down time, you enjoy mixing fuel & oil and love rebuilding carburetors. For me, it was time to go electric. I bought a corded electric trimmer; it was weak and required long extension cords. But then the clouds parted, the angels sang and we received this DeWalt 60V Max FlexVolt string trimmer, a pro quality unit that drains the gas and cuts the cord. Can you hear the harps? Read More
