How do you edge your lawn with a straight shaft gas trimmer?
Q. Do you have to hold it in an awkward angle? I bought a straight shaft, thinking all straight shafts are attachment compatible. But they are not. Should I return the one I got, and buy an attachment one ? To buy the edger? Or how do I edge with a gas straight shaft string trimmer ?

How much will it cost to replace my front drive shaft on my quad?
Q. I have a 2006 suzuki eiger and i broke the front right drive shaft for the 4wd. It is the drive shaft going to the tire from the differental.

A. That's the axle, not the drive shaft. Call some shops for a quick phone estimate of the labor to replace the axle (it's 2 pieces L&R). Only replace one of them. Do the work yourself, it's not that difficult.

Q. I just got a new Taylormade r5 dual type d driver and it has a stiff flex shaft...Is this the best type of shaft if I have an average swing speed? Also, are their other factors I should be considering? Thanks

A. The shaft flex provides you with an indication of how much swing force is necessary to make the shaft perform appropriately. When a shaft that is too stiff the player will have difficulty flexing it during the swing. This results in decreased distance and shots going to the right. If the shaft is too flexible, you may experience difficulty controlling the club head resulting in either slices or hooked shots. Correct shaft flex is primarily determined by the club head speed generated by the player. As a general rule the following applies. Driver Swing Speed Distance on # 5 iron Shaft Flex <60 MPH <125 Yards Ladies light 60- 70 MPH 125 to 140 Yards Ladies 70-80 MPH 140 to 155 Yards Seniors 80-90 MPH 155 to 170… [cont.]
