Re: Black & Decker GrassHog 18-Volt Cordless Trimmer
said by cissado  :said by cdru :said by cissado :Yep, I have one. My older model one died on me after a few years including my neighbor using it, so I purchased this one. So far works good, but I HATE how fast the trimmer line goes out. It's a self feeding trimmer line that you have ZERO control over. If you snag something a little thicker than normal, it starts letting out the line. You could almost hear your money being vacuumed out of your wallet as it's doing that. lol Can you replace the spool housing with an aftermarket one that is either a bump-feed or has the plastic mini-lawn-mower blades? I don't know. Maybe I'll ask around. But to who? I wish I could. One thing that may be helping me is that I don't lash the line against hard items (fencing, rocks, concrete) that much. When I trim I normally trim the grass back and am careful to avoid trimming excessively close to harder items which may chew through the line. Maybe I'm too careful?
and to the others who've not replaced their spool yet... Damn you! lol jk Something must be wrong with mine or just something wrong with me. thanks. |
