I would like to see a fixed line string trimmer accessory to replace the bump string release mechanism on the EGO string trimmer.

Sid Parish, find a "universal one" what?

Probably a universal fixed line trimmer HEAD assembly/kit.

Sid, Ego's string trimmers are not designed to work with aftermarket accessories. ATE fanagled an Echo (?) head onto his string trimmer, perhaps he can elaborate? :-)

Details here, and it wasn't a straight bolt on (like the AH1500 kit):

Ego fan, have you used the 15" trimmer? I have a feeling your concerns would disappear quickly if the answer is "no". These heads work very well.

I guess I am incredulous that people buy products from Home Depot, use them, and then return them for a full refund when the product is not defective. And I'm even more amazed that HD goes along with this despite its written Return Policy.

Agreed 100%. I gues the majority of us are just honest people. There's no way they could support a policy like that if everyone was abusing it.

Agreed Blue! That said, I don't buy products with the intention of returning them. If and only if my purchases were defective, then I like to have the option of returning them or exchanging without any problems.

I've only ever returned new in box items, or things that were defective. I've never used something and taken it back simply because I didn't like it or had a change of heart.
Having said that, HD promotes that exact activity, likely as part of their sales pitch; I think if most people bring something home they're not likely to bring it back.

I have bought, tested and returned the following from Home Depot:
1) 14" Gen 1 Chainsaw (replaced by a Kobalt 80v)
2) 12" String Trimmer (replaced by the 15")
3) 480cfm Blower (replaced by the 530cfm)
Non-Ego:
A) Echo 58-volt Chainsaw (replaced by Kobalt 80v)
B) Milwaukee M18 Fuel Drill/Driver set (replaced by Gen 2 set)
After 30 days (up to 90 days), you'll get a store credit. Sometimes over 30 days, they would still return it to the charge card (depends on the HD associate).
