Ehh idk about that low but you can def save a ton of you can wait a few weeks. About 3/4ths of the red tools I have came from ebay(25+ tools)And I bet if your patient enough they'll pop up on Ebay for around $100 bucks like the blower and hedge trimmer after guys start parting out the kits.
Now I've GOT to look into those. I've had an assortment of gas powered weedeaters over the years and always had problems with them eventually. I finally went to a corded one - which works fine except for dragging around the cord of course
