Yea I have a trimmer from the early 90's. Ran a brush blade on it for along time. Only a cable and fuel lines/grommet and primer bulb and it still starts in a couple pulls. And definitely cs,590 ftw. Mine hasn't let me down yet.I really like a lot of the echo lines of equipment, I have a small 25cc trimmer I bought 20 years ago and it won't die. You pay a little more and get something decent and it lasts and is reliable and worth fixing if something does happen. I use their black fuel line, very good stuff. I would rather have a cs590 over say a rancher saw from Husky or Stihl to be honest. When I see them for sale cheap, I buy them and flip them a lot. Great bang for the buck.
