Luxury Housing Trends & Home Improvement Ideas

A couple of weeks ago I mentioned how the Troy Bilt TB-50 string trimmer got a nod from Consumer Reports this year, and quite a few people came by looking for information on it. Here’s a more in depth look:

Unlike the gas-guzzling string trimmers out there, the tb50 is a corded electric trimmer. With a $60 MSRP, it’s less pricey than most gas models too. Consumer Reports said the tb50, a dual-line model, has “excellent trimming and edging” capabilities, making it a solid purchase for the price.

Beyond that, there’s not a whole lot of information out there on the web on the string trimmer (I couldn’t even find it on the Troy Bilt site). Your best bet is probably to see if you can find the tb50 at the local hardware store and handle it yourself to see if you like the feel.
