I have a straight shaft Craftman's string trimmer. My primary needs are for edging the lawn, but I also trim around trees and posts. Edging close to the sidewalk eats up string pretty fast so I switched from a bump feed head to one that has four swivel heads. I can use less string to do the same amount of lawn--just barely--but edging near the concrete always eats up the string.
I don't want a single purpose lawn edger. I really don't want to maintain another unit even if it's electric. I borrowed my Dad's electric once and it was weak.
Do you use any special technique or have some kind of fancy trimmer head that doesn't get eaten up so quickly?
Thanks,
Paul
