    Need help with Stihl FS45 trimmer (weedeater)

    Fix it, sell it, buy an electric. I had the FS45 and year after year trouble. I finally had a carb replaced professionally and when it was running good sold it. I bought a Makita 36 volt and couldn't be happier. It uses the batteries from my tools, I have a 2.5 acre yard and rarely do I...

    Storing tie downs

    I threw away all my tie downs and replaced them with auto retractable tie downs. It was one of the best things I ever did. There are many versions out there but I like the Erickson version best.
