The recommended cord diameter really depends on the type of machine you're using. Electric string trimmers are usually limited to 2.5mm maximum diameter, while gas trimmers can handle 2.75mm or even metal blade attachments.
I PURCHASED MY TRIMMERS AT SEARS. I PAID $100.00 FOR MINE, BUT THEY HAVE TRIMMERS RANGING FROM AROUND $60.00 TO AROUND $300.00. SOME OF THESE RUN BY GAS, OTHERS ARE ELECTRIC. I PREFER THE ELECTRIC ONE. IN TODAYS ECONOMY WE DON'T WANT TO BE DEPENDANT ON GAS ANY MORE THEN WE HAVE TO BE.

While gas-powered hedge trimmers may seem like the obvious choice for large hedges due to their power, they come with significant drawbacks. Gas trimmers are noisy, emit fumes, require regular maintenance, and can be cumbersome to handle. In contrast, electric hedge trimmers, particularly corded ones, offer comparable power without the hassles of gas. They're quieter, cleaner, and more environmentally friendly. Additionally, advancements in battery technology have made cordless electric trimmers a viable option, offering convenience and mobility. So, before advocating for gas trimmers, consider the practicality and sustainability of electric alternatives.

It all depends on you. 4 cycle trimmers do not require mixing of oil and gas. The gas that you use for your lawn mower or tractor is the same gas for your trimmer.

I've only had gas trimmers but all trimmers should be the same, wind the string in the opposite direction the trimmer head spins. If the head spins cloakwise then wrap the string counter-cloakwise.
