Reader Reviews
This trimmer seems to work well for the one day of hard time I subjected it to so far (heavy grass and weeds which probably call for a brush-cutter instead), but it took some struggles to get it going. First, it is not strictly "gas powered" - which implies straight gas power. It uses gas/oil mix, so you will need to buy a little 3.2 ounce jar of 2-cycle motor oil and a one gallon gas tank to mix it in. Next, the unit came with a broken 5-cent plastic bracket that holds the throttle cable tight. Fixed that with super glue. Finally, the string was stuck together in the spool so had to disassemble the head to get it loose - not a problem but be sure to read your instructions on how to do this at it's not necessarily intuitive. This replaced a 1.5 horsepower heavier duty trimmer ($300 range?) and seems to do just as well.
