Title: Where Have All the Corded Trimmers Gone?
Review: Whatever happened to the great corded-electric string trimmers of the past? I had two models---a Craftsman and a Ryobi---that were rugged, dependable and quite powerful---they lasted for years. Now they just put these toys and rechargeable ones on the market. Battery power is okay for small jobs, but would you ever get aboard a battery-powered airplane?This is the only corded one I could find...a total piece of junk.I guess I should have read the reviews carefully---I thought B & D might have fixed the spool issues.Seems powerful, but the line kept breaking off inside the spool housing. Once the housing comes off, trimmer line leaps out at you like a spring-loaded snake. After two tries with the same result...forget it.I managed to cut a 4 x 9' swath before giving up on this.Update: I found a Stihl corded trimmer that is a fabulous corded machine--- the FSE 60. Look for a Stihl dealer.
