Have and use several ego-brand lawn tools. 15" string trimmer works well, but it "eats" trimmer head plates, meaning the trimmer bump-cap; as I bang it against the dirt and more importantly, against concrete while edging, it abrades it and shreds apart. So, the bump-cap ends up separating from the trimmer head body.
Does anyone know of a good alternative trimmer head to use or know where to buy ONLY the top cap. The rest of the trimmer head lasts and works fine, but dropping $35- $40 for a complete trimmer head is getting excessive and wasteful.
Recently, I JB-welded my current trimmer head cap back into place, but expect it'll only last one or two trimmings. Ideal would be to attach a lightweight "skidplate" to the bottom "bump-cap". New invention/patent maybe???
Thanks for any insights!
