Two models (one curved shaft and one straight) have detachable heads. The shaft is a common O.D. so other brand attachments can be used. Since they re-badge for Sears, it's a safe bet Craftsman attachments will work. The 'Timmer Plus" stuff at Ace is also an option. The only attachment brands I know that will NOT work with the Lehr detachable head models are Echo and Stihl. There may be others but it's easy to contact the company at their site if you need more info - golehr.com And someone commented the propane canister used by Lehr is proprietary. This is incorrect. Lehr trimmers use standard 'camp stove' propane cylinders. Lehr has four trimmer models and, apparently, needs a new marketing campaign.

I saw said infomercial for the first time the other day and was intrigued, particularly by the edging functionality. How's the battery on that thing? Gene, good word.

Yeah, they are infomercial stuff but a lot of Ace Hardware stores sell them as well. They are either electric (corded) or battery (18v) rechargeable. The Lehr trimmer is a great thing if you just need a trimmer. Mixing gas and oil for the average consumer can be a nightmare. Screw on a 14 oz propane bottle and go attack that grass that grows where you don't want it Want a trimmer that trims & edges - buy one from Worx.

As some of you know, I'm a tick obsessive. The key is to be advised of which direction the hurting will take place and make your 90 degree turn accordingly. One way equals happiness, the other and you'll look like the dude from Die Another Day. I do that every time I trim. As some of you know, I'm a tick obsessive.

Who remembers having to edge between the driveway and lawn by holding the trimmer perpendicular to the ground? No amount of facial protection prevented the bevy of earth hurled towards your face. It just looked like a great time saving technique I saw landscapers using - perhaps they didn't value their eyes as much as others. So, here's a challenge.
