Well, thus far, my problem seems to be the combination of the vibration from the weed eater, and having to support its weight at the same time.Perhaps you just need a new Weed Eater? I got a Ryobi battery operated one last year. Nice and light and I can edge trim the whole yard without needed to recharge the battery. Don’t know how I ever got by without it.
I don't have any problems from the vibration from the lawn mower or the edger, because the wheels support the weight. And I can wield a hoe, shovel, or any other garden tool all day without any trouble. I can even move the generator and compressor all by myself. However, after about ten minutes with a weed eater, my neck and back are pretty much shot.
But I will check to see if I can find a demo model of the weed eater you use and see how it feels. Maybe I just haven't stumbled across the right one for me yet.
Just curious, what kind of battery does the Ryobi use? It's such a PITA to keep having to stop and swap out batteries for other weed eaters like I've been doing! And can you buy spools of line that are ready to just pop in, or do you have to wrap your own?
