So I'm getting a $250 store credit at work so I figured I'd buy my grandpa a new trimmer (and some other things) because his current one is an old ryobi on life support after being around for longer than I can remember, its been thrown across the yard a few times by him because he couldn't get it started not to mention the fuel leaks, the pull rope likes to jam when pulling and destroy your hand, million pulls before it starts ect. He mentioned to me before he was going to a straight shaft one when he buys another so I figured I might as well help him out. Not to mention I have no need for a $250 Menards store credit, we don't have anything I need considering what the store consists of.
So I figured I'd as if anyone has had any experience with 4 stoke trimmers before. One of my concerns was oiling issues when tilted or upside down (I'm going to call MTD and ask about it today) otherwise they look like a solid contender after some light reading about them. Here are the 2 I was looking at, planned on getting the "1 year extended protection plan" because why not technically not my money lol. So any input or discussion is appreciated.
