I hate weed whipping, but my wife actually enjoys it as a way to get outside in the yard. She never would've weed whipped the yard with the old 2-stroke loud weed whip, but with the Milwaukee she knows how to put a new battery in and go. If I can buy a tool doesn't just make the job easier, but makes it completely go away? Sign me up! And wife is happier? win win.
Also trying to not be a total Milwaukee fanboy but their warranty is very good and stress-free. At my old job I managed our Milwaukee tools used by production and I would send in any that would break to be replaced. These tools were absolutely destroyed by hooligans each and every day and when I would send in a completely broken tool they would send a brand new one no questions asked. Super easy website to set up a claim and they pay for everything shipping etc. Not that any of my tools have broke yet, but its nice knowing I can be rough with them and they will honor the 5-year warranty.
I definetly don't hear such stories with the cheap brands.
