This will double as a weed whacker w/ the titanium string correct? Looking for something to do double duty and take out some thick growth as well.

Yes, you can put the string attachment on and use it, or remove it and put the blade attachment on and use it. Both work great! The blade's power is impressive.

it cuts very heavy brush with ease and has an attachment for cutting small saplings

Absolutely, Tim. .095" Titanium force is the way to go unless you're tackling saplings.

Uh yeah, but why would you want to....? It' supposed to retard weeds and anything else. Youd have to put soil on top of it and the plant new grass seed.....

Depends on the weeds. Won't pull up well established weeds, like big ones. I use it to level out humps.

You would use it in addition to a rake. Best use is both hands to pickup yard debris, or on one hand to scope the debris into the bag. Really makes work easier, and I'm all for that!

If its a straight shaft style should work fine. I have a weed eater feather light works great cut through 1-1.5 inch branches. Kicks butt on those gator blades.

It'll do the job, but that's like using a flamethrower to light a candle. I had a similar problem recently and used a small hatchet to cut the vines and a good pair of gloves to pull after that.

If it looks like this pic, probably but can't swear by it.... Should say on your weed eater what you need to buy.

I'm not sure if it will work on curved shaft trimmers but it is almost entirely plastic and does not hold up well. Any weed stocks that are 3/4 inch thick or more cause the blades to bend and eventually break.

It would probably hold up pretty good with light weed whacking. I would not hit it too hard though as it is just plastic and repeated hits would probably either break it or tear off the edges. I've had this in a dog pen chain link fence for years now and it's held up great!

It works great on large weeds. It is not the tool I would recommend for many weeds in your flower bed. Too much work. You would be better off with a three prong weed tiller than the fiskar. I was a little disappointed in all the work required per weed with the fiskar. Check Lowes, etc., for a better weed puller.

This worked great in our Earthwise weed trimmer. And it looks like it goes to other Earthwise tools. I hope this helps!

After purchasing this string trimmer I put it to use whacking down a lot of weeds and small (tree) sucker growth on a residential property.(I do gardening/maintenance landscaping on the side). This trimmer held up well and got the job done with no issues. After that job I use it weekly(or every other week) to edge fescue grass off a sidewalk and a curb(residential property). If you're going to need a string trimmer for the occasional heavy job this one might be okay. If you're going to need a trimmer that can handle heavy work on a regular basis I'd invest in a commercial grade Echo, Husqvarna or Stihl model. They are more expensive but are much more durable for extended heavy usage.

It has a feature where when you stop the weed wacker, it automatically lets out the correct amount of string needed. I bought mine last summer and I'm still ok for string (although I plan to buy a refil soon).

Since you're going to be using it for gardening I suppose, you would be purchasing a lithium powered drill with a quarter-inch bit

It should work however I would consider a gas powered tool like a weed eater with a brush blade depending on amount and size. This would work great for finger thick vines but smaller stuff would give and not cut as easy.

I would suppose that depends on how closely set the stones are, and whether you can lift them to maneuver the tool. I've lifted deep vines, but if this is a true tap root, one would guess that this would be a time where you might have to add a systemic remedy to kill the root or dig and chop it out. In all likelihood, a deeply set and well grown root is not going to be pulled up with a tool like this. That said, this is a well-made and very effective tool for many purposes.

Check out my review. I was wondering as well but i tried the thicker line and i had no problems using it. Actually i think it cuts through weeds better than the thin stuff.
