Pretty spiffy. ?But I think the pic was photoshopped.

Hell, my Murray has been doing the same thing. Probably cost a third on
that Craftsman and a fourth of the Lawn Boy.

Mine has the Briggs and Stratton. Bullet proof.

Which string trimmer do you recommend?

For my use, which is the normal grass/weeds I can recommend the little
80-100 buck deal Sears sells. It's the one that has a latch that
flips the tube so you can use it for edging. That comes in handy.
Had it about 5 years and it still works good. Self-feeds without
tapping it. Usually takes 5 or 6 pulls to start when cold, but it's
not too noisy and it's light. 2-cycle.
