STIHL FC 91 Edger Curved Shaft Review
After the grass is cut, the job is not yet done. Edging now has a broad meaning, just as string-trimming does. You may just be edging the concrete driveway and sidewalk, or edging could be keeping the flowerbeds and landscaping details at bay as well. Regardless of your jobs’ exact needs, it’s almost impossible to […]
Makita XRU09 18V X2 LXT Brushless String Trimmer
Most of the major power tool manufacturers now have cordless OPE lines out. But where Makita has an advantage over the rest is that they have a legit Pro-level gas lineup in addition to the lithium-ion tools.

EGO Power Head String Trimmer Edger Review
Having already reviewed both the EGO 56V cordless string trimmer and the EGO 15 in brushless string trimmer, getting our hands on the brand new EGO power head string trimmer seemed a logical next step.

Milwaukee M18 Fuel String Trimmer Video Review
The Milwaukee M18 Fuel String Trimmer was introduced along with the blower and hedge trimmer as a supplementary tool for commercial landscaping Pros. Up until recently, there hasn’t been much of a need for battery power in the Pro field, but increasing pressure to reduce noise and emissions is driving the push. Milwaukee’s build quality is […]
Milwaukee M18 Fuel String Trimmer Review
As we continue our review series of this Spring’s latest outdoor power equipment, we come to the new Milwaukee M18 Fuel String Trimmer. It’s important to note before we dive in that Milwaukee is targeting their OPE to commercial Pros as a supplement to gas-powered tools. It’s from that perspective we’re looking at what Milwaukee […]
Worx 56V String Trimmer Review
I’m one of the fortunate few in my neighborhood that gets to enjoy a decent sized yard with minimal mowing. I have a lot of landscaping that I have enjoyed working on through the years and not a whole lot of leftover grass to worry about. It means that I can adopt a more European […]
