I need a grass trimmer for the home.
I'm inclined to go with a the multipower attachment deals, but it seems to me with the pro-quality name brands I'm leaning toward like Stihl, Echo, Husqvana it costs as much for the tool as it does for the dedicated tools.
I'd make good use of the edger and pruner with an extension handle. I could use a cultivator if it was reasonably heavy duty.

Lowes had a deal with a generic tool maker the tool heads were 20% off with purchase of a Troy-Built attachment capable trimmer, but they all seemed to be lower quality. The tools were like $70-$90.

While I'm at it, it looks like the pros use straight shaft vs. curved so I guess that what I want. And I'd lean for 4-cycle vs. 2-cycle to avoid having to mix the fule but it looks like the pros use 2 cycle, I guess for less weight.
AND I'm thinking I'd rather have the bump type string reel vs. the pre-cut ones you stick in, but it looks like they have quick switch ones for the pros.
Any advice?
