Hey guys right now i have a cheap pair of weedeater clippers they are gas powered 22inch bar. What kind of oil should you put on the bar? Also what is the best way to sharpen these or can you? The reason I'm asking this is beacuse I think in the near future i'm going to be buying a new pair most likely  the Echo SHC210 I was gonna post a picture of them but Echos page is down right now. I have picked up a few new yards with alot of hedge trimming so I really need to upgrade thanks Mike

Ok thanks guys, I talked to a good buddy of mine today that said he use to have a set of the Echos and he told me to spend the extra 50.00 and buy Sthil so i guess I might be going with them. Thanks guys.

Sharpening, Take em to a shop.

But as far as Oil, use regular Pam, the cooking spray. it will keep sap from gumming up and sapping power. it works. Its all I use on my Stihl.

to sharpen them, just seperate the 2 blades and use a fine flat metal file and file at the same angle that is there. file in one direction from the base to the edge of the blade.

Thanks guys I'll do that then I'll have a nice sharp backup pair ,or 2 pairs for the big jobs.  later Mike

Any opinions on these?

Look nice to me. You know anyone with them Rob?

No Marshall,

A local dealer just started carrying them. Line trimmer, backpack blower, and hedge trimmer. That's it. I was hope ing someone else knew.

I wonder if they make any with the longer handle?? Maybe something like this?
