Light weight yet it boogies and gets the job done... If you have a tiny area to weed eat at a time this tool is for you... Acreage? Stihl is the way to go.... It's easy to string and WILL take and use heavier duty weed eater string. Barely any hrs on this tool practically brand new. Got it at Walmart for $40 -$50 bucks can't recall asking $25 I'll pry be a little firm on that price because of how much I used it... 2 times I think...
