When it's time to buy, go for capability, not the cheapest price tag.
The price you pay at the discount store covers the everyday trimmer you buy there, period. At your Outdoor Power Equipment dealer, on the other hand, the price buys you a top quality tool, plus all the sorts of assurances and assistance - like a more complete selection, operation and maintenance tips, set-up and adjustment expertise, service when you need it, accountability for product warranties, a full range of parts and accessories, and friendly interest in you. Consider the whole cost (and hassle) of ownership, not just purchase price. When you do, this deal looks terrific.
