Outdoor Power Equipment (Lawn Mowers, Snow Blowers, Chain Saws and more) Discussions

I am looking to buy a grass trimmer for my dad.  He is currently using my Stihl FS-85 and eventually I will need it back.  I was thinking Shindaiwa because I have heard nothing but good things about them and something a little lighter than my FS-85.  Truth is, however, I just don't that much about grass trimmers.  Any advice is welcome.

In my opinion Stihl is about the best. Quality, long life, and power is what you want in a unit and Stihl does not fall short on that! If you had a hard time starting a Stihl in the past it is either because you werent following the propper proceidure to starting it or you let the fuel get stail and therefor have gummed up the carb.
