![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/AC2aHfEl.jpg) My weedeater hat. I used 1/8 inch hardware cloth and pop riveted it to a baseball hat. Ran electrician's tape around the edge. It is lightweight. Very good at keeping sticks out of your eyes. Love it! Bet it pulls the ladies, too. I can get safety glasses here. Stylish, too!

Does anyone make a battery powered string trimmer that can rotate the head and be an edger?

I have a shindaiwa that I have owned for 15 years. It’s a pretty big weed trimmer as I got it when I lived on farm. I do routine maintenance every year, and don’t store it with fuel in it at end of year. It has never not started.
Last year I got a kobalt for my wife to use as she doesn’t like lugging around the heavy Shindaiwa. It was pretty weak strength wise honestly. Took it back. Need to re-evaluate what’s available this year
My opinion is for a small yard with little trimming go electric. Otherwise stay gas or use chemicals

Was your wife's Kobalt electric? If so I bet it wasn't the expensive one, the 80v. Because I have been using that Bad Boy for 7 weeks and it has as much power as the gas powered weedeater.

I really like the 80v Kobalt trimmer ...and I can use the EZ attachments like the tree pruner and hedge trimmer from my old Troy-Bilt gas trimmer on it.

On top of that, I get about an hour of use with the Kobalt 80v. Which will do my entire yard. However, I also have a shiny new Kobalt lawnmower and the batteries are interchangable and that lawnmower battery is bigger than the weed eater battery. Swapping these two batteries out with the weedeater you could work all day and never run out of battery.

I have Echo products, goes back to the chainsaw I bought from Echo back in the late 70's,
I needed a new chainsaw a few years go because my old 1970's Echo still worked but it took forever to get it started after letting it sit a few years.
Went out and bought an battery powered Echo Chainsaw, the thing is amazing, had two large trees fall across the access to our hunting land, trees were bout 20" across and had multiple trunks, took us a couple of hours of cutting to clear them up and the saw just chewed them into dust, battery never failed either.
I was so impressed I bought an Echo leaf blower, interchangeable batteries and has more power than my electric Toro Blower, then I bought the Echo string trimmer, again same battery and it just works great, easy string reloading and string adjustments,
I can't say enough about these, they have worked great for my needs.

Dewalt 20V Max Brushless and I do like it. I got a bigass 9AH battery so it's not a concern. Just grab it and go. As I have decided to go Dewalt on my cordless tools, it was the way.... This^
