Was shopping today to replace my Craftsman 2 cycle string trimmer bought in 2003.
Most of the higher quality new trimmers are now 4 cycle, and I'm suspicious.
The 4 cycle engines have many, many more parts, increasing long term durability concerns.
I want one to last as least as long as my 2003 2 cycle Craftsman. The Craftsman has lots of life left but is again due for a carburetor overhaul and new fuel lines.
What's the experienced consensus?
Have the federales destroyed string trimmers like so many other things?
