Gas-powered WeedEater $35.55

[jdewit]

Was at Calgary Princess Auto on Weds. THey had a stack of reconditioned WeedEater brand gas trimmers for $35.55. 25cc, 16" cutting diameter, two line, includes extra spool + bottle of oil (to mix w/gas).
Can't wait for spring now!

Any Electric Ones?

Is this available in the Coquitlam location? At the same price? Is this the same as the one they had advertised in their flyers for $80 or $90?

I am in need of one... How well does this work? Can you also rotate it such that the spool spins vertically for making lines in the lawn? Sorry for my wording; I know there is a word for this but cannot find it right now....

Not that I saw. This is cheaper than a decent electric one anyways :)

I don't know if it's chain wide, you'll have to phone. I never saw it in the flyer. They just had a stack by the front door. I have no trouble believing that the regular price is upwards of $70, XS Cargo sometimes has similar. (PA of course has a much better return policy :) ) I don't have my receipt handy - I will post the item number if I find it.
I don't know how well it works as I don't plan to try it until spring. Though I desperately want to fire it up, I don't want the hassle of draining it & storing the gas over the winter for no reason.
It does not rotate for edging. I suppose you could try to hold it sideways. That might interfere with the fuel flow. My electric weedwhacker has that feature & I never use it. Used properly, I find I can get results just as well in the horizontal position.

Thanks for the information! Edging was the word I was looking for. :-) What if the trimmer is defective and you have not tested it? Does Princess Auto allow returns after so long?

Perhaps I will drop by within the month, since I may need to buy something else from there too.

PA has a return policy on a par with Costco.
At this price, I guarantee they will not last a month, unless they have hundreds in stock. More like days.
