Fire and Forget includes the title story from Redeployment by Phil Klay, 2014 National Book Award Winner in Fiction

These stories aren't pretty and they aren't for the faint of heart. They are realistic, haunting and shocking. And they are all unforgettable. Television reports, movies, newspapers and blogs about the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan have offered images of the fighting there. But this collection offers voices -- powerful voices, telling the kind of truth that only fiction can offer.

What makes the collection so remarkable is that all of these stories are written by those who were there, or waited for them at home. The anthology, which features a Foreword by National Book Award winner Colum McCann, includes the best voices of the wars' generation: award-winning author Phil Klay's "Redeployment" Brian Turner, whose poem "Hurt Locker" was the movie's inspiration; Colby Buzzell, whose book My War resonates with countless veterans; Siobhan Fallon, whose book You Know When the Men Are Gone echoes the joy and pain of the spouses left behind; Matt Gallagher, whose book Kaboom captures the hilarity and horror of the modern military experience; and ten others.

15 Pack (WA0010)Replacement Trimmer Line Spool C
This weed eater trimmer line is pretty tough. Although there was only 12 spools in the box, but the Description says 15 spools, And this trimmer line is a lot tougher than the previous line I was using. I used very little of it on the first spool, which is great these Worx trimmer line spools fit perfectly and function perfectly this is a great product to purchase, and I will highly recommend them. if you just have a small amount of weed eating to do I would recommend getting these spools for your worx weed eater.

Good product for the price
I bought for my Worx trimmer and they work great. Even though Worx offers free replacements, when you add shipping onto the "Free" order..it costs more...this price is well worth it.

String breaks about halfway
Just as pictured. PROBLEM…..LINE BREAKS ABOUT THE MIDDLE OF THE SPOOL…. Wound so tightly that once you have used the first half it is impossible to use the rest…. So guess what…I have to buy more!

FAST. Powerful. Easy to use.
Size: 8" Edger New
WOW! I bought a new house a couple of months ago, and the landscaping company overlapped the edge of the driveway with the sod. I've bee trying to trim it back with my string trimmer, but the results were less than desirable. I got my new edger today, and I am astonished at the results! ruler straight edging, 2 1/2" deep and 1/4" wide. PERFECT! . . . and the whole front yard took less than 10 minutes! The edger is very powerful - it easily cut through the sod, deep into the dirt underneath leaving a nice clean edge. My neighbor has a lawncare company, and he was watching me. He came over and said he was going to get one for his jobs, as it is much faster and easier to use.
