I don't know if every knows the unit I am describing, maybe I'm doing a bad job of that. The Husky or Echo with the split boom is a multifunctional tool, not a weed eater. The attatchments make it a stand alone edger, or a stand alone trimmer, chain saw, sweeper, hedger. The attachments are not the little blades you put on the end of the unit as to replace the spool for the trimmer. The boom or pole comes apart with a quick twist. Take off the entire weed trimmer unit, replace it with an entirerly new tool, such as an edger, or chain saw, sweeper, etc. The only common part is the motor. And because it does have the power to be a pole chain saw, trust me, as an edger it is a beast. It digs straight or slanted edges easily...well after a few practice runs it will be easy. It can pull you along with it if it grabs deep and you are not prepared. It has depth adjustments and a shield, which the shield is needed cause it will toss rocks if it digs any up. Last year my wife marked out a new flowerbed, the edge being about 22' with some curves. It took 2-3 minutes at the most to make 2 runs with the edger, done. Quality too...deep, smooth, finished edges with no waves and nice transitions from straight lines to curves. So I refinished the rest of the beds a couple of times during the summer in minutes. The only problem is the price. it will run about $460 or so for the motor with trimmer attachment and edger attachment. I'm not selling it, I just want make sure that you know this isn't the little multi attachment Toro like thing sold at the big box stores. You'll have to go to a real Husqvarna or Echo dealer to find one of these. The quality is top notch also, they will last you for years. Cheers!

Bought a new string trimmer yesterday... Read through different forums for recommendations and went with the Echo SRM-210. Thoughts and lessons I learned... - Straight shaft is better for taller individuals, and also easier to reach under obstacles (raised sheds, decks, etc.) Also will get you extremely dirty - my legs were covered in grass by the time I was finished. - Curved shaft is more comfortable for those that are vertically challened (not short, just not as tall as taller folks) My local dealer switched out the bump head and gave me the Rapid Loader 2-line head for an even exchange. This will allow you to use .10 sized line. The kit came with 4 pieces of line, 2 - .095 and 2 - .1. I loaded the smaller (.095) line for the first time using the trimmer. I finished the entire lawn and didn't have to change out the line once. This trimmer is extreme compared to my Poulan (six years old, has been reliable, but never very strong) that actually has a larger engine. I never got to full throttle with the Echo while cutting, and really just didn't need to. I simply can't believe that I've waited this long to get it. I did not go with the Stihl simply due to a few users reporting dissatisfaction with their trimmers. The Echo is considered commercial, and my dealer said most of his lawncare clients bought the 210 for the price point vs. $250-$400 for some of the upper end trimmers. Prepare to pay $200 for it however, but I feel like this is an investment worth making. I bought my Poulan 6 years ago for $80 and while it did get the job done, it always lacked in power and I was constantly replacing line. When I tried to add the gator head to the Poulan, it simply bogged down under the weight of the replacement head. There wasn't enough torque to get it up to speed. The curved shaft Echo (GT201 I believe) can be had for about $169 or so. Good luck with your purchase. -uproar90

Is this the one you're talking about? http://www.poolpresent.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=7&products_id=19&zenid=b40e13786a2052c1638fe67e8afb9cb8 Seems like $27 is a good deal to me then???

@qualitybathnj Your prompt reply is delightful. Thank you for promising to resolve this issue. Yes, the Brizo articulating faucet style is a winner, isn't it! I spent many hours over several months researching faucets online and visiting showrooms and talking to sales representatives, and the Brizo articulating faucet really stood out. The ability to adjust the height, angle, and reach up to several inches further forward than most gooseneck faucets allow is an advantage to helping prevent back strain during long periods of prep or cleanup. I love how there is no retractable hose to make noise or get stuck under the sink. The powerful magnetic spray head dock makes the spray head fast to grab and replace. Another advantage to me was that the toggle switch stays in the same position when you turn the faucet on and off. It works opposite with some European-made brands of faucets like @HU-899564525 and @The Galley Tap where the handle off position always reverts to stream. Each user has a preference, but I like the spray/stream to stay put until I change it. Quality Bath happened to have a great sale on Brizo one day near the end of my research, so my husband and I finalized our decision quickly for that reason and are so happy with this choice. I had seen your website repeatedly in my research for both faucets and sinks and have come to appreciate your upscale selections and competitive prices. The Brizo articulating faucets have a few older, negative reviews on Amazon and Build from people who saw the joints loosen over time so much that the faucet wouldn't stay in place and would slowly drop down into the sink, however @StarCraft Reviews confirmed in another post that this problem has been fixed, and I also talked to a Brizo rep who said the same. The faucets I received from Quality Bath have extremely tight joints, which is good. The one concern for customers is that some of the old, loose-jointed models may still be in circulation in older stock, however, the covered-hose model which I picked is a newly released style, so there was no concern about older stock with that one. Otherwise, to order straight from Brizo to assure a fresh manufacturing date would have cost about double what I paid to purchase from you, and we saved several hundred dollars overall on the order compared to the next lowest competitor's pricing.
