Picked one of the Li-Ion string trimmer (aka weed eater/weed whacker) models up at $10 in store clearance at 52302...had first seen it on clearance at $80 last week and guess they wanted them gone. Uses two 20 volt lithium batteries (included). MSRP was $114 and seems to be on clearance with at $75 or in other nearby stores...probably will drop further in the coming days where they remain in stock.
The 16" 2-stroke gas model had also dropped to $25 in-store clearance at the same store. Reg price was $74.

I bet you do. 😑
The trimmer itself is pretty weak and you can stall out the engine on almost anything, but at at least it can trim grass with sufficient patience. I have beefier trimmers, but I smashed one too many windows with those.
Me ego will rip your leg off.
Ego has some beast trimmers, comparable to gas, mine will cut through all kinds of out of control 3 foot tall weeds lol

4 stroke is heavier, more expensive, less powerful, requires oil changes. Terrible advice, definitely go electric.
I went with Ego 4 years ago and couldn't be happier. They've switched from Home Depot to Lowe's but you can still find some on clearance at some Home Depot stores.
I'm also joining in on the Ego love posts. I have the carbon fiber one, and even going through thick brush it didn't even start to slow down.

I know its comparing an old Chinese car from a brand nobody has heard of to a high end Tesla, but you get what you pay for and you can help dictate world politics with what you buy.
That's my favorite thing, people who say "America is loosing jobs to the Chinese, we're finished!" while at the same time doing the VERY things to make sure that happens and make sure it happens fast. It's not until it hurts IRL that people really wake up and by then its far too late.
Again, I know its $10 lol.. I've never even seen a trimmer this cheap before, this comment is more of a general census on buying from brands that actually are at least US owned.
I invested in the Ego ecosystem. The most impressive item is the carbon fiber trimmer with the power head. It has more power than you will ever need. The power head makes it extremely easy to load the line and I use the 5.0 battery which is more than enough runtime to finish my .5 acre lot. I highly recommend the EGO brand if you are looking to go electric.
