    String Trimmers, AKA weed wackers

    Another vote for the echo or the weed eater. I've had both and both have been a good machine. The only problem i've had with the weed eater is after a couple of years the carbs seem to come out of adjustment. definite you want the power of a gas trimmer.

    Just wondering for those of you that have built your garage how long you've had it and how well you think it is holing up? For those that your garage came with the house what have you or would you like to do that the original owners didn't. For those that built theirs what is your favorite...

    Vintage Snap-On Box

    I say she deserves a fresh coat of paint. It's like a good woman don't replace her just put thing back where they're supposed to be spackle the outside and make her look good.
