The new fc 90 edger I bought has the orange guard on it. And it's plastic... how well do you guys think this will hold up? Considering their normally metal?

Time will tell, but weed eaters with plastic guards take major beatings as well and have held up for the life of the weed eater.

Well, my vintage Troy-Bilt weed eater is still getting it done...About 9 yrs old.. No issue with plastic guard, I'm only operator tho,.

In my opinion it should hold up fine. The guard on my Echo edger is plastic as well, and it has held up fine (though I don't have much use on it). I think since the debris kind of rotates with the edger blade there isn't that much "pressure" on the guard.

fwiw: I wouldn't use an Edger or weed wacker without wearing Safety Glasses.. (just saying)..
No mine don't. I thought I got them there, but not positive. I think mine might be 3M. I know I got 2 pairs, one I love, and the other I don't because I know it sounds weird, but the one pair didn't sit on my nose right. :confused2:
