Looks nice .. do you have to buy the reloads for it ? Or can I get a bulk lot of the line and make my own ?
It works great. I've been buying packs of the cord from the local $2 shop and cutting it to length. It seems to last as well as the name brand stuff, and at a fraction of the price.
Only problem I can see with the first one is the chain is the wrong way around. The little bits they show on the outside of that chain are the "tang" that goes in the bar of the chainsaw. The grinder has the teeth.
The blade I use on my big (50cc) brushcutter has three points, but I'm getting a "circular saw" one for it after summer, because the tri-blade is pretty crap on hidden stumps.
I have one for my angle grinder too... for cutting aluminium. Looks cute, BUT you do not want your hands near that thing at 12,000 rpm! It's like a hot knife through water... yeah, butter is too hard, it's like water, even on 4mm aluminium.
I have one of these. It's okay for many things - but with an annoying flaw.
The diameter of the centre spindle is small, this means that the velocity of the cord near the spindle is low, if you're cutting longer grass/weeds, it'll tug at the shaft making the weed whacker hard to control accurately, then sometimes rather than cutting, it'll "grab" the stalks and they'll tangle round the cutting head. Bloody annoying when it happens, even if these are fine for light-duty use.
If they made these with a centre spindle diameter closer to the diameter of a "normal" bump feed head, they'd be better.
