I had a HomeLite Back Pack blower...."piston ring failed" after one
year....threw it away.
Go, Echo.....(five years, no problems), or other quality brand as previously
noted.
Could alternatively take the idea of buying a used hi quality model to save
some dough. I'd think of "penny wise, pound foolish" unless it's a "thow
away" price (which $49 probably is!). I've done this with my cars and
always done well....an old BMW or whatever is better than a new Yugo for the
same price....
Always enjoy reading the list. I'm keeping notes for when I build my next
house and shop (hopefully the last!) Thanks, guys.

Subject: Re: weed trimmers
I'm a little behind on the subject, but for those of you looking for an
inexpensive trimmer, I bought a reconditioned gas straight shaft Homelite
from
my local Harbor Freight store for $49. This is the same model Home Depot
sells
new for $90. It works well, though my only comparison is a small electric
weed
eater.
