    Electric weed eater

    I’m ready to give the battery operated string trimmers a try. I’m 6’3 and seems like everything is designed towards the guy that’s around 6’. Any recommendations on one that fits us taller fellows

          Ryobi for my wife, but she is short and the weedeater is short. Greaat battery life. She had most of the Ryobi tools now!

            Don't think my milwalkee will suit you. Don't think any of them will be comfortable for your. They are all for shorter people.

              Echo 56v has a fairly long shaft

                My Echo is pretty solid. Runs about an hour and a half per charge. Plenty of power. Leaf blower attachment is awesome as well.

                  I have an Ego. So powerful i even use it at the lease. Takes about 20 minutes to fully recharge.

                  But im sure it is just as good as a Dewalt, Milwaukee ect..

                    They all probably work good but the op wants a longer shaft for a tall guy.

                      That’s correct

                        I moved the handle up the shaft on mine; that shortens the distance between the hands a bit, but has the effect of lengthening the shaft.

                            Makita works well for me and is pretty long. I have the 36v
