I have a Troy-Built that has different attachments you can put on it. It sounds gimmicky but they work well. I have a weed-eater head, a blower and an edger.

I have the Troy-Built as well, starts easy and works much better than the first Weed Eater I bought. I sure like not having to have the mix gas and oil. I have the blower attachment, too.
I got mine at Lowe's.

Has Calif outlawed the 2-stroke models by now?

I have one, forget the brand, but it's a straight shaft trimmer with a briggs & stratton engine. I've always figured with yard equipment that the motor is the most important item, I won't pay extra money for a John Deere, or some other "brand name" item. I've been very happy with it, I do a lot of trimming with my yard and landscaping and it's held up very well. I'm almost through my second season of use with not a single problem.
