Yea man. If you don't want to buy one get creative and make one. As I am not for trimming parties because NONE of my friends have a clue what I'm up to, asking for help from a family member or someone you live with is best. BUT if you're hellbent on getting a new toy, by all means, buy a trimmer. New gadgets to fool with are awesome.someone made a thread about a DIY one they made at home, just a dremel (rotary hand tool) with two short lengths of strimmer line screwed on, essentially a pocketsized strimmer, seemed to do it fairly well. as with near all electric trimmers i've seen in action though it gave a pretty botch result. grab a bunch of friends over and have a big smoke out and trimming party, or are you talking crazy weight
