I'm thinking of buying one of these string trimmers myself to help reduce 
risk of fire.  We had a prolonged dry season this year.  I had extensive 
fire damage on my property.  Most of the people in our permaculture group 
had fire damage to their property as well.  I am going to try many 
strategies to reduce fire risk (including velvet beans to try to smother the 
grass) but maybe the strimmer will help as well.  I'd really like to get a 
scythe but I'm not keen right now to go through the problems of importing 
stuff.
