The Stihl Kombi line has a history and reputation that speaks for itself. Honda is a king in the small engine game and Husqvarna has practically been around since the dark ages.

That being said, does anyone have any experience or info on the Husqvarna and/ or Honda attachments? I was looking at the Husqvarna that utilizes the Honda motor (524LK) because as far as I can tell they offer more attachments than Honda.

I know I'm going to get a lot of responses "to just go with stihl," to which I ask; what is better for the kombi, the 2 stroke or 4 stroke?

And for those that will say it, not really interested in echo.

Thanks for the insight

I'm not a contractor or anything just gotta do yard work every week.

I thought DeWalt would be the way to go, but I've seen reviews and comments saying thst they don't last very long. It also doesn't come with the Edger, and I can't find anything a out whst specific Edger attachment I would get for it.

Any reccomendations?

Hi y’all, my fs 56 rc stopped running well not long ago. Would start up, run for a few second then would die.

I’ve replaced the spark plug, the fuel filter with oem filter, checked the spark arrestor (super clean), and then I started messing with the carburetor screws (probably my problem).

I started messing with carb screws before I changed fuel filter so cannot say if it was fuel filter or my probably bad adjustments.

Now the trimmer will start, run for a few seconds and then cuts out. Different adjustments have made it run longer and shorter but never runs for more than say 15-20 seconds

With idle screw all the way clockwise I can’t get it running long enough either and I’ve read that it really shouldn’t need to be in so far.

Any pointers or ideas what I can check or work on myself?

Thank you!

I can’t find a good replacement. I’m looking for a bump feed wind up head but I can’t find a good one that’s worth the money. Any suggestions?

Moved onto some acreage and found my electric tools wouldn't make the cut. Purchase the 130L because I've got lots of tall grass, salmonberry and blackberry to clear and read some good reviews for something that isn't going to cost me $500. Had an unsatisfying experience with the tool leading to two questions:

1. Is there anyone who makes a trimmer head for this thing that isn't a reel? My electric Ryobi had a "pivotrim" head which I loved, I just cut spool to length and kept them in my pocket. My neighbor has a head (echo made?) which is just pressure fit, you push the end of a pre-cut cord into a slot and it holds it. I can't find anything built to fit am I ignorant?
2. Trimmer gets too hot too fast, overheats after about a single fuel tank. Lots of noise, sounds "loose" for lack of a better word. I'm almost certain I'm returning it and am looking for recommendations for what to buy instead. Something good enough for brush clearing.

Thank you for any and all advice!

After a decade of fighting my loathed John Deere T105c and a parade of lousy string heads to replace the crappy stock one, I am strongly leaning towards the Milwaukee M18 Quik-lok trimmer with the easy-load head. I have years of rage and resentment towards string trimmer heads and I need to go quietly into the night with my next one. Always have been a fan of Milwaukee tools and the reviews and my initial impressions look promising.

I specifically hate hard to load and use string trimmer heads. (Also, candle outlet stores and the incorrect use of the possessive form instead of the plural form.)

What say you, hive mind of Reddit?

Greenworks 60v trimmer. Today when I went to change the line out, the knob to wind it was super hard to turn, like it was kinda stuck. So I took it apart. Looked fine, so I put it back on. Now when I feed the line in, the knob turns fine but it isn’t winding the line on. any ideas how I can fix this?

I'm looking at possibly getting one of these used since they are only available bundled with a gas powerhead. Is there anything that tends to wear out on these attachments? Does the curved shaft attachment have a gear box?

Sorry, I am sure this is a FAQ somewhere, but google and the reddit search box brought back nothing.

I can't seem to find RPM of for any of these trimmer heads. I am looking at Worx particularly, but they say they are compatible with a bunch of other brands, Ryobi, craftsman, hart, snapper, etc.

Worx string trimmer head is (WA0045). Worx brush cutter head is (WA0221). It kind of looks like the angle might be a little different, but It is hard to tell. The brush cutter has a much more flat guard, and an RPM of 6700/min.

I might be able to get a used strait string trimmer attachment from Rryobi/Hart/etc and any new brush cutter blade type of my choice and the adapter, for the same cost of a new factory brush cutter. I have the B&D matrix with the high speed cuttoff wheel attachment that has about 9,000 rpm more than the drill attachment, so I know that the brush cutter could be geared very differently with a very similar size, I just don't know if they usually are on this type of unit.

​

Aside from the cost, and readability of used arts, wat is the difference between brush cutter attachments, and strait string trimmer attachments with brush cutter blades?

Looking for a fuel strainer with check valve with 3mm hose barb fitting for a shindaiwa t27.

I put together one with a generic stainer and a check valve that said it was fuel rated but as soon as I used it the flap reacted with the fuel and blocked the valve completely.

Edit: this has the check valve and strainer but is made for a c35. https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/264217714145?_trksid=p2485497.m4902.l9144

I am needing the little plastic lever for the spool assembly for my Grass Hog trimmer but it is a discontinued part. Does any one happen to have one or two kicking about in a spare parts box?

Looking to buy a battery trimmer and I’ve already got some Craftsman 20v tools, so I figured I’d stick with the company. Problem is that reviews for craftsman trimmers are so-so. The Eco 56v trimmers look pretty great but they are more expensive and a different battery pack. Does anyone have any experience with these brands?
