I have stuck with plug in trimmers for this reason.
The first one, a black and decker lasted from 2008 till 2013 or 2014 when I tried to use it with 0.080 weedeater line and tried to take down a tumble weed and broke the plastic ring gear.
Then the second one has lasted since 2014, that modle had been discontinued so I bought a used one with bad trigger switch off ebay for parts.
I still use 0.080 weedeater line.
