Re: The best whipper snipper/line trimmer/brush cutter?? 12Dec 30, 2009 7:46 pm I bought a cheap (under $200) from bunnings 9 years ago that is still going very strong on my 5 acre property - it gets plenty of heavy duty brush cutting work, it is a yard master (or something like that). But what I really wanted to suggest - (and this is the best thing I ever did as someone who uses these tools very regularly) - is buy one of these things or something similar: http://www.supersealer.net.au/welcome/page1.php. I can got for about 2 hours of fair dinkum hard going brush cutting before I need to change the line. Whereas with the old spool type systems I was always changing it and using a heap more line.

Re: The best whipper snipper/line trimmer/brush cutter?? 13Apr 12, 2010 11:24 am Melrich I have a petrol driven McCullough and have found it to be excellent, easy to use and powerful enough for anything I have had to do. From memory it cost me about $230. The next step up would be to a Stihl or something like that and it is a pretty big step (price wise). Don't buy one with a curved shaft. They are made like that because they are cheaper to make like taht but they will not last as long as a straight shaft nor are they as easy to use. Pay a bit moe and get a straight shaft. I ended up getting at McCullough 2 stroke.About $200 It's great. No smoke, starts everytime and it cuts great.
