3. Being bitten by a Rottweiler
4. Getting punched in the face by Mike Tyson
5. AIDS

7. Watching your family die in a fire
8. Brain Cancer
9. Drowning
10. Cutting your own dick off

So, are we talking a mangle-your-own-feet curved shaft two-stroke wanky little weed-nibbler, or the real Boss Hoss type four-stroke straight-shaft harnessed rig with the option for a blade? Because the latter at least isn't *boring*.

But you posted a picture of an Echo, that has to be one of the easiest, most pleasant trimmers to use... Should have at least posted a Craftsman ;)

I love running my string trimmer. It fucks shit up. Makes me giggle.

Beats pulling or shearing brush growth.

Except curved shafts are a pain in the rear for a lot of things, but agreed on Echo. My all-time favorites are the Kill-Em-All, Let-God-Sort-Em-Out big Hondas:

Contrariwise, a swingblade lets you work out a hell of a lot of aggression:
More so than running a weenie two-stroke.

True story, I have a straight shaft Echo, worlds better than my last which was a curved shaft plug-in Black and Decker. 150 foot extension cord? Fuck that noise.

Really just the idea of cutting anything using a tool that is so easily destroyed by the actual cutting process strikes me as absurd. It's like using a knife made of balsa wood.

After this list you guys are comparing string trimmers? Now if he had actually cut his own dick off with a string trimmer then we have to start considering our favorite.

Not only that, but any of the cheap store brands with a pull cord on the shaft side? And a bump-advance head that advances all the time without being meant to? And a fuel tank tucked up into the alleged frame? Fuck that thing in particular.

I really shouldn't have expected a group of mechanically inclined people to understand my frustration.

Hence, you need an Epic Four Stroke Death Machine with a blade on it. Nothing quite like telling saplings to scream for mercy as you spin a ragged filthy blade in their lifesblood, splinter their bodies, and trample their children underfoot... I mean, um, er...

I gotta nice fourstroke for the non-grass portion of the backyard and an electric for trimming the front law. The electric is surprisingly awesome for trimming, quiet and torquey with no ICE idiosyncrasies...just don't cut the cord.

Weed wackers are awesome, as long as you are wearing long pants and shoes.

I use to run both of these things working maintenance at a summer camp. I've had little rocks fly up my nose and picked pieces of slugs off of my face. I'd rock ear muffs and safety glasses, long pants, and steel toed shoes. I hated running these things.

One of the reasons I have a gardener. That and weekends make me super lazy.
