Shindaiwa T262 String Trimmer Review
This past June, we had the chance to test out ten string trimmers from the industry’s leading OPE manufacturers in our Best Gas-Powered String Trimmer Shootout. We ran all of the trimmers through a series of tests to see which of these OPE staples presented the best performance, ergonomics, fuel economy, feature sets, and value. For […]
Echo Black Diamond Trimmer Line Video
It’s safe to say that we’ve had plenty of time to review the Echo Black Diamond trimmer line in a recent video. We used it exclusively during our best weedeater article. In fact, we’ve even written up a somewhat comprehensive review of the product. But, as we’ve realized around here, some folks would prefer to […]
Ryobi RY253SS String Trimmer Review
With our recent Best Gas-Powered String Trimmer Shootout now done and dusted, and what with the recent influx of summer sunshine and torrential downpours in Florida, we’ve had plenty of time and opportunity to whack the everloving stuffing out of a whole lot of weeds. The grass has been growing thick and fast around here, […]
TB6044 XP Troy-Bilt 4 Stroke Weed Eater Review
Back at the end of June, we spent a few weeks testing out a whole stable of gas-powered weed eaters for our Best String Trimmer Shootout.

Stihl FS 91 R String Trimmer Review
While the work doesn’t really slow down at this time of the year in Florida, those of us who review tools for a living had a great opportunity to put 10 of the OPE industry’s best string trimmer models up against each other. We wanted to see which brand offered the best performance, ergonomics, features, […]
TruFuel Premix and 4-Cycle Engineered Fuel Review
We continue to hear the horror stories more and more of how ethanol fuel is the culprit for costly repairs. From 30+ horsepower zero-turns down to 24cc string trimmers, ethanol and the moisture it brings will attack carbs, injectors, valves, and more. Engineered fuel such as TruFuel is a safe alternative to pump gas. Not […]
Echo Black Diamond Trimmer Line Review
Do you enjoy a good argument? Just ask a group of landscapers: What’s the best trimmer line? Then, sit back with a glass of iced tea and enjoy the show. I do it all the time – it’s fun! Ok, I’m not that cynical. As for our choice? We use Echo Black Diamond trimmer line […]
Modern Lawncare – 40-Volt Greenworks Mower Blower Trimmer Review
My husband and I recently sold our house and moved into a tiny apartment. It has a very small fenced-in backyard. Originally about a third of it was a concrete patio and the rest was filled in with mismatched 12”x12” and 16”x16” pavers. We have a Great Dane named Huckleberry, so we wanted to replace […]
