Clockwise spinning string trimmer

Aaron Ford · May 25, 2015

I am in search of a weed eater that spins clockwise as viewed from the top. It doesn't have to be huge but I do prefer straight shaft. Does anyone own one they really like? Can you direct me to a current model I can purchase? My last several cover me from head to toe. I try to operate them by walking backward as some suggest but my property is quite steep. I tried operating it from my left side but the exhaust is on that side. Any ideas?

Thanks in advance. Aaron.

This may be wrong, but from my understanding straight shaft spin one way and curved shaft spin the other. At least that's the way my stihl is.

Aaron,Just get a curved shaft trimmer they turn clockwise looking from the top.

Notjustair,
That makes sense since there are gears involved in the straight shaft trimmer.
