LBlack14 skip the Stihl, buy an Echo. Better warranty. Bought a used echo weed eater for my last G/f almost 10 years ago and it's still running great. Picked up one for me 8 years ago, never a problem. Got my dad one for father's day more than a few years ago and it's still like new.
Echos just keep on running, and start on the 3rd pull.
