This is another Honda you need to wear long pants with (and eye protection).  |

Replace that spool with a worn out c/t. Let the steel cords hang out, last all summer.

did you compare pricing of this Honda vs. a stihl brand weed trimmer. Everyone I talked to says stihl is far superior and you could get wide handlebars like this one:
Is the Stihl a 4 stroker? I bought it because a Honda has never let me down. Not any of the many motorcycles, compressors, generators, pumps or log spliters. Never have a had to say "Freaking Honda" I checked the reviews of a few publications on the net and the 40+ customer reviews on the Home Depot web site. It got a 4.9 out of 5 and the only complaint was the string spool which I'm replacing ASAP. That's kinda like going darkside. |

no, stihl trimmers as far as I know are all 2 cycle mixing oil and gas. Looked at home depot on the Honda trimmer and seems nice with a nice wide cutting path although seems a couple lbs. heavier if that doesn't bother you then no big deal. I know stihl products have longer engine life overall than the cheaper gas trimmers and less problems overall but like others say, cannot go wrong with any Honda product 99% of the time.

Use synthetic oil and get a supply of crush washers.
