How does it hold up to a weed whacker?

So far I have had no problems with the durability of the product, including routine use of a weed whacker.

I cannot compare to the Weed Eater mentioned, as I do not have it. However the B&D; LSW36 is excellent and I am in my second year of use. Does a great job on sidewalks, two proches I have, two car garage floor and driveway areas. Really clears off debris, unless wet grass and then I am not sure any but an industrial gas blower would move wet grass.

I have this one and my yard is not level. I haven't had any issues with it.

Pretty good. I use it often and it easily moves leaves, twigs and smaller rocks. If you have tan bark it'll completely blow that away so be careful.

It seems like on this one, everything that needs to be metal is metal! I bought mine for weed whacking my back yard and I have only used it once (ran it for about a solid hour). It started easily and never stalled. I had some really tall dead weeds and I was really concerned if the Swisher would be able to chew them all up. I had to push down on the handle to lift up the front of the Swisher to pulverize all the weeds, which it did fine. I was amazed how little build up of weed debris there was. I was also amazed that the whacker strings never broke (I know I hit my cinder block fence many many times. Anyway, it worked fine and I think it will stand up (although my usage will be limited).

Yes, it holds up well. Seems to be a good-quality stainless steel. As to its effectiveness as a scooper, I'm on the fence on that question.

We used the Dewitt P3 a few years ago. Landscaping rocks were placed on top of it and we walk on it sometimes. It must be holding up because there are no weeds were we put the Dewitt down. Hope this helps. Good Luck.

I just walk the line where I buried it. Will usually find the place where a weed eater dug it up or some other cause. So far it has been easy. They do make a tool for that, if you can't find the break. So far I've had no trouble.

This unit is not going to replace a gas powered weed wacker. It can handle more than light work. When doing heavier work, weeds around 6-7 inches tall, you're going to get about a half hour of running time on the batteries. Normal yard work, you'll get about 40-45 minutes. Keep in mind the unit comes with 2 batteries and running time includes both batteries. I'm probably being conservative on the run time; it all depends on how you actually use it. Some people leave it running while they walk around, others turn it on and off.

Yes it can edge well. I use a thicker cordage for the thick weeds in my yard and it works well. Just realize the battery may wear out within five minutes or so.

We have that darned stuff in our yard too. The Weed remover works pretty darned well, as long as your ground is damp from spring rains. Once it gets hard and dry, not so good. It's really kind of fun to pull the thistles and dandilions out using this device -- as long as the ground is damp, that is.

not at all but if I may suggest order extra covers for the string- I think the Manufacture has discontinued making them we have had ours for about a year and the cover cracked and fell off the other day. I am a 71 year old woman and love the weed whacker, I only have one battery, it runs down when I do!

Mine seems to hold up well. I stand on it a lot and move around. It wipes clean.

It seems to hold up pretty well. Of course when I sharpen the edge it will gain a little rust, yet not to much. I've really enjoyed using it as I scout through the woods looking for deer signs.

I believe it will. I've taking out some huge weeds with this tool and it don't bend nor crack like others I've used. If you flip it over it acts like a small rake to pull weeds to a pile. I absolutely love this tool and don't mind weeding one bit!

If the soil is not too hard it deals with grass and weeds well. I use mine often.

I roll my bag through bumpy parking lots every day I use it and now I roll it down curbs and small stairs out of laziness to carry it down. It has held up quite well. The wheels take the impact down very well. I don't know how it would hold up for long distances but through a college campus it just shows normal wear and tear. The wheels haven't bent or gotten stuck.
