I have the big powerful gas one too that has the optional blade attachment.... But mine is a farm tool, not a suburban edger!

The middle-size whackers are about $100 and will last a long time even with a lot of use.... and the smallest ones are $70 and last one year of use. They just burn out.

Mine was a farm tool. Till I moved here. Now, it's nice even in my citified yard. You know how guys all like their tools - (dwarf thing) - my neighborhood has all these guys with huge riding lawnmowers doing medium sized city yards. They get out mowing and comparing mowers. And I HAD a regular old non-self-propelled mower (it's dead now) and this huge beast of a weed whacker. Guys would feel sorry for me about the mowing and then see the weed whacker and be all over it. "WOW, what've you got that for? Man that's a big weed eater. Gee, why didn't you get a better mower and a small weeder?"

But, you know what? I'd love to have the mower that Rosie just described that she has. That would be great for me here.
