posted in df also but gonna post here get some opinions too.

im thinking about buying a new weedeater mines on its way out. does anyone have any experience with the 4 stroke and/or lithium ion battery powered weedeaters? its for residential use but i dont want electric and if either of these are good options i would prefer to not buy another 2 stroke.

im seeing 20v and 40v battery trimmers mainly interested in how any of these options hold up to light once a week use nothing major.

also not looking to spend a ton on this. maybe 150 at the most. i could go slightly higher if it looks like a good enough deal

Also the husqvarna titanium trimmer line is hands down the best. Tough shit. Lowes carries it.

I prefer the triangle shaped line, seems to cut better but its not as strong.
My Husqvarna came with some of that titanium line.

Back when i did commercial landscaping/maintenance that is all we used. You can run it up against s cyclone fence without breakage unless you beat on it. For the money/time savings it's great. It will cut great but you have to turn a few more rpm than the angled stuff.
