[QUOTE="5minpins, post: 542159, member: 8097"] I am having one of those days! I spent my holiday weekend running a weed eater as my son didnt feel the need while I was gone. I have a 4 stroke gas weed whacker, this thing has some snot to it! If you are running it next to a T-post or welded wire fence and the line gets to close, this thing will either rip the fence off the post or yank itself right out of your hands if your not hanging on. It mows thru small saplings fairly easily. today, I bent the outer shaft when I smacked it on the ground to feed more line, fixed that, ripped some staples and the welded wire fence off of a post, fixed that. but the worst part of my day is...there are only a few things that make me throw up, Slugs and dog vomit. I went out to run it down my fence line so as not to short out the electric fence, the buttercups are waist high and big. I get 5 feet down the fence and somewhere in the tangle was a big fat slug and I hit it with the weed whacker, it of course exploded, and me being on the wrong side of the weed whacker, got the exploded slug, guts and all right in the face. :oops: :mad: :frowns: :shock: I felt something gooey hit me and wiped it off and looked and then all hec broke loose. couldnt get that weed whacker strap off of me fast enough, trying to wipe the guts off my face was painful as I wasnt paying attention to how hard I was slapping it off, all the while heaving my guts out in the grass. It took me a while but I got back up, finished the weed whacking and then hit the shower, my face is red and sore cause I scrubbed off another layer of skin in the shower and to top it all off, my kid keeps laughing at me... He really should be careful, I know where he lives... [/QUOTE]
