Best way to test them out is to do what you said :) However, they are under-powered so go figure.

I probably followed the priming instructions before trying to start it again. I may have been concerned about flooding. I have that same issue with the fuel pickup on other trimmers sometimes and have to keep it topped up. Good advice from you there!

It's good around the house but not for daily use. It's the same for the straight shaft one.

Something is wrong in the clutch or gears near the trimmer head?

Used around the home instead of daily?

Thank you! Cheers!

It really is! Thank you for watching!

It does indeed. Thanks for watching. Happy new year!

No it really is that weak. It was brand new at the time.

@@Lawn_Care stihl FS 38 Is Force versus 122c.

I had to borrow an FS38 recently. They are not too bad but I broke the inner shaft in no time.

@@Lawn_Care I also mow large grass with it and it has never happened to me

and would you say that the FS 38 was much stronger than the Husqvarna 122c?

Thanks for watching! It certainly is a lot quieter than my old mowers.

You bet! Thanks for watching!

Thank you! 😁 Thanks for watching!

I probably should try a faster time lapse speed sometimes. Thanks for watching!

Thank you! 😄 Thanks for watching!

Glad you liked it! Thanks for watching! It looked okay in the end.

Yes I did say in this video's description and in another one recently that I filmed with an incorrect setting. I have noted to have a look at that. Thanks for watching!

I can't stand it. It is basically just sod rather than a decent grass variety. Thanks for watching!

Here's another fun fact. Some of those KZfaq help channels say that videos perform poorly if they are over 10 minutes long. This one was originally 12 minutes long and it flopped. So I edited it within KZfaq. Same with others in recent months because they are boring and average view duration and so on is low :) You will notice that popular videos on popular channels are nearly always 6 or 7 minutes. The algorithm puts them in front of more people and audience retention and average view duration is higher. Thanks for watching and I do remember that old tip but I have had a different experience so I usually do shorter videos now. Some readers of this might find what both of us said helpful to research further and experiment with on their channel. So it's good that you mentioned that tip. Some of my old videos are longer and perform poorly. Some shorter ones do okay. It's a mixed bag. Others might see the same?

I do have another possible video to create and it should be more than 10 minutes. So I'll experiment again and see how it goes without editing within KZfaq in any hurry this time.

Thank you and thanks for watching! Glad you enjoyed seeing that small patio area uncovered.

No just a small path or so I thought. Then I started seeing more concrete pavers as I trimmed with the string trimmer. So I grabbed the spade and started digging. Well worth it in the end.

Thank you! Cheers!

Almost! At least that small area can be used now. Thanks for watching!

Thanks 👍 It didn't take as long as I thought it might. Thanks for watching!

Thanks and thanks for watching!

Thanks 👍 The mower did great at mowing it all down. Thanks for watching!

Thanks for the tip and thanks for watching!

Either gouge out the soil in the gaps or spray with weed killer.

@@Lawn_Care I use white vinegar in the cracks a couple of times a year ....as a weed killer.

Some people suggest using pool salt too. The soil really needs to be removed so that there is nothing for grass runners to grow in. Pressure washing the pavers and the gaps would blast it all away.

Thank you, I will

Good point! Thanks for watching and mentioning that!

Thanks! It will be less to mow in future if it can be kept that way now and it's an area that the resident of the home can use.

Thanks, will do!

The trimmer head doesn't last beyond about 4-6 weeks if used daily at work and you're a bit rough with it. I can get parts at my local mower shop as they sell them individually. They also sell a whole new trimmer head of course but really it's just the cover and knob that breaks quickly and you lose the spring under the knob. I found that leaving the broken knob in place and putting on a new cover and manually pulling more cord out each time extends the use of the trimmer head for ages. So that's what I do now. It does waste time but not that much. Yes the metal part that holds the trimmer head broke off somehow and my local mower shop wouldn't fix it under warranty or sell a replacement. It's attached somehow with a small pole and broke. The flexible shaft is good but whatever holds the trimmer head to the pole shaft is pathetic. There's a very thin 'C' groove on the small pole coming out of the back of trimmer head (see 1 minute 20 into this video). Nothing seemed to have fallen out when it broke. So I don't know how it attaches to the inside the main pole shaft. Other trimmers have a piece that connects the two. I'm going to experiment with another trimmer head assembly and screw to hold it onto the pole. Then put the flexible shaft in and see if it all rotates properly. A new pole with the trimmer head attached is half the cost of a new one of these trimmers. That's what my local repair shop wanted to install to fix it. I'll just experiment with a different trimmer head assembly instead (e.g. one with a power head). Hope that helps and thanks for asking because others might find it helpful to know about my experiences with this trimmer.

ha the construction guys just throw everything out into the yard :) I was constantly pulling junk out to avoid breaking a mower blade. That little beastie is a big 21 inch push mower without the catcher on. I used it in 'mulch' mode. It was such a small yard that I was only there for almost an hour and a half. Thanks for watching!

Thanks 👍

Us channel owners can't win with the music :) It covered areas of no sound and I'm no good at narrating anyway. I tell people to mute the volume if they have to. Anyway, I'm glad those points helped. Other videos on other channels may have additional points to note in helping to make a decision. I do find the small tank to be quite annoying.

Shitty sound
