Advantages/Disadvantages of a Straight or Curved shaft of a gas trimmer.

There are many lawn and garden tools that fit you and your yards needs. Below I attached some links that may help you understand the ups and downs of a straight or curved gas trimmer. I hope this helps!

Thank you for your question.

I can understand wanting to know which type is the easiest to use with your type of trimming.

The curved shaft is lighter and easier to handle.

Usually it has a smaller size CC engine 25CC to 28CC.

The straight shaft models are a little heavier and can have a little larger engine. Up to 32CC.

If you are trimming under a lot of shrubbery the straight reach makes it easier to get under those yard objects.

You could go with a combo unit that has a split boom and you can attach and curve or straight shaft as you wish.

You can also add a number of other attachments to the split boom models.

With the split boom model you can get a blower/mini tiller/brush-cutter/edger/mini chainsaw pole trimmer.

I hope this will answer your question.
