See that, you can teach an old dog new tricks :)

Cool - welcome to the club

That is great to hear!

Thanks mate - glad to help!

No problem!

Rock on!

I just started working at a state park and do a lot of weed whipping there. We have Stihl electric rechargeable and gas trimmers. Got the barest of bare minimum training. 🙄 I've always either lived in apartments or someone else did all the yard work in the houses I've lived in so this was an enlightening video. 👍

String trimmer operator 😂😂 ive never heard that my bad not making fun of you but that sounds ridiculous

@@joshalvarado9701 It's literally a search/product term on Google. Guess G is ridiculous too.

Cool - congrats

I just reviewed the $200 pencil - time to upgrade

Wow, thanks!

Did you get the power load - I always recommend that model for people who have struggled loading string - check the link above, it's on sale....

@@Kitearmy did they come out with the power load after the bump? Is it a pricier version or something ? Otherwise I don’t get why they sell both. Milwaukee looks like it has a solid system for easy accessory changes but otherwise is pricy among that type. What would you recommend for a flower bed that’s filled with basically ivy like weeds. Just jam packed. A shrug trimmer attachment (I’m going this route regardless for this overdue cleanup) but the included string seems to barely put a dent in it. It’s not like it’s very thick. It’s like the size of a 18 gauge wire or something. But it’s incredibly dense, like it grows in a very dense group and the vine itself is very dense & not fragile greenery but very strong brown & vine like. It honestly feels like squatting down and using a hedge trimmer would be far more effective and quicker for sure. Actually wishing I had picked that up before the string trimmer now 😂 Is there string/line that’s stronger or more slicey etc…and do you want thinner line for stronger growth because it slices through it easier, or heavier line because it’s stronger than the growth and less likely to break. Or none of the above.

Hopefully these tips help

Thanks mate - just a few more weeks for that grass to show up!

thanks mate

Glad it was helpful!

You are so welcome!

Me too. I just don’t think an electric trimmer would be able to be worked of a commercial scale day in day out for one season, let alone multiple mowing seasons. If nothing else, I’m sure just keeping enough batteries charged would be an extra task in itself

Thanks mate - don't worry the views will come

Perfect!

That is awesome!

Great pickup - I don't know if i remembered to mention that

Strangely we pros favour pushing the debris towards the body. Our main priority is limiting the amount of ejected debris. In the video you can see debris ejected towards the fence, on a commercial job this is hazard. The guard is designed to operate in this orientation. typically we are wearing shin guards, face shield, and heavy trousers so the main guard is the first line of defence then the body is the second line of defence.

@@MrStrez2 Yes definitely best to have trimmer shoot everything towards the ground and your feet. I wear really tall boots so most debris hit that and don't shoot out towards people, cars, houses, fences or anything. In order to do this I walk right behind the spit path of the trimmer and basically let it pull me along in a line.

@@MrStrez2 I get that - this is advice for most home owners who do not want to get pelted with grass and rocks

@@MrStrez2 agree, I think of it as a mulching cut as you recut the debris as you walk over it. Its also better cause you can see what you've cut and easily do bits you've missed, unlike walking forward where you walk over your work. You get a soother finish too, less tiger stripes and hacky looking. Stihl FS450 is my daily tool, but I've got quite a few Stihls, not sure about those electric trimmers yet, but perfect for the home owner.

Glad this helped!!!

Man my ankles are fucked rn I gotta start wearing jeans. Even standing to the right stuff still hits me

Like another one said "knuckleheads wear shorts".

@@MarcoLiftz yeah, I’ve never understood wearing shorts to do line trimming. I’ve worn shorts when taking care of my own lawn, but I’ve cut grass commercially, and would never even consider wearing shorts, personally, if I’m going to be running a trimmer all day long. To me, it really doesn’t keep me that much cooler, compared to wearing long pants- but really the main thing is I would get twice the cuttings in my shoe, whereas jeans would cover the top of my boots/shoes.

@@Naltddesha yeah I was just doing edging / weed wacking at my own house lol. Still hurt tho

Thanks mate.....Yeah it's obvious once you see it but it eludes most of us

Glad to help

Yeah - I see some landscapers doing that

The Milwaukee head is second best - next to EGO

if not a line IQ make sure at least the Powerload - it's wonderful

So glad you liked them :)

i agree

I agree with you on this one.

You are so welcome!

Glad it helped!

Thanks mate

I think is spins CCW because of all the other attachments. Every other EGO is clockwise

Right on

Thanks mate - appreciate the support

My pleasure

Too kind mate....try this for soothing musics: ukposts.info/have/v-deo/qWige4-Oga6J130.html

Great advice

You are so welcome!

Yeah - they are just in different classes

Very welcome

Sure thing - glad I could help

Great machines

No worries!

@@Kitearmy my string trimmer spins counter clockwise, i switched to holding the gass with left hand and holding the handle with right hand (the string trimmer is on my left side), but sometimes i use the front of it instead of only the right side to cut. what is the reason to use only the right side to cut? if i will use the left side can debree fly at me ? thanks!!!

@@Kitearmy @Kite Army my string trimmer spins counter clockwise, i switched to holding the gass with left hand and holding the handle with right hand (the string trimmer is on my left side), but sometimes i

Oh no!

Throughout the WHOLE Mediterranean region, the vegetation is tougher than anything we would be cutting in the US? Hmm. Well that doesn’t sound right. That’s an incredibly broad statement!

Most welcome

Thanks mate

Not a good idea to tell people to take of the guard - it could save one persons eyesight

My pleasure!

Awesome - let me know if you have any other questions

You are so welcome!

Very kind for you to say that

counter clockwise was the old direction because of the way gas motors spin

No problem

Sure

Sure

Thanks mate - these are just general tips. I'm sure we all find our own comfort level to get things done....

Also, White fence throwing the debris on it is not nice.

I had to go in the garage to see which way my trimmer rotates. Since the guard cutter is on the right of my old cheapie B&D and still on the right of my EGO Line IQ wonderful trimmer, I'll just keep doing what I was doing.

Yeah those guards aren't the best, I get debris thrown at me all the time, so much so that I continue to wear safety glasses, especially when hitting that overgrown stuff under the hedge 🤦

Im nervous of trimmers i definitely used the guard and dont raise it i want to keep my legs safe 😊

My pleasure!

Cool!

Make sure to check out EGO

Thanks mate!

Thanks mate

I want to see Telecenter vs EGO :)

The charger is a smart charger and will go into a trickle maintenance mode if you leave them on - I use min so often the longest they probably sit on the charger is about a week

Don't know if you saw this: ukposts.info/have/v-deo/hqCLoHerj492tX0.html

Not really as easy: ukposts.info/have/v-deo/qqCAqoGNsGllxHU.html

@@Kitearmy yeah but it's way easier than manually doing it like you showed on the Milwaukee head. Line up the red dots, slide string through, twist.

@@Scott-xh7wd Sure - I pulled that video from the internet

That is a good question - will look into that

LOL - I hope you not suggesting that you hire employees that have entered this country illegally. I know that we agree that doing so would be very un American.

thanks mate - but I'm stoked on what I got going :)

forgot that one - thanks

Yeah - the EGO multi-head is the only EGO trimmer that is a CCW spinner. It's good that they have both directions if someone has a preference.

Thanks mate - I don't see that being a problem at all. Here is the link to the review: ukposts.info/have/v-deo/qqCAqoGNsGllxHU.html

I would recommend watching 100x for the next 365 days :)

@@Kitearmy ok thanks!

@@goodmanshealth or 1000x for 365 days - I believe in you :)

Thank you

Tell me about it

@@Kitearmy Been switching to battery with all my tools, it's satisfying to swap batteries between same brands of products. Idk why I get excited over tools lol

Cool

great tip - thanks mate

That's so clever. Wish I had thought of that, because it has saved my pectorals a lot of pain 😂

Yes sir

Nah, it was click bait for the Ego commercial.

Thanks mate - you are the best!!!!

go to college - no really

@@Kitearmy no. im 40 years old and didnt wanna play the debt game in my 20s and i aint gunna start now.

I understand that - it just gets harder and harder on your body

@@Kitearmywell if i wasnt such a fuck up earlier on in life id have more options, but here we are.

Hey it is never too late - have you tried the string trimmers with handle bars and shoulder strap. BTW - I was an idiot when I was young too.

You're welcome

You're welcome!
